• Notes

  Spencer P. Mead's History and Genealogy of the Mead Family (1901) states that this Jonathan Mead died unmarried in 1712. In 1915, after further research, Mead announced that this was incorrect; the Jonathan Mead who died in 1712 was this Jonathan Mead's uncle Jonathan Mead, b. 5 Jan 1667 to John Mead and Hannah Potter. He was a cooper. "He is alleged to have come to Crum Elbow and to have died in Dutchess County 13 May 1754 but we have not seen any proof." [Settlers of the Beekman Patent, citation details below, vol. VIII.]
