He was one among the first to settle in Troy township and at the time of his death was in his 80th year. Mr Sattison was a native of Lebanaon county, Pennsylvania. He was born in 1815. He grew to manhood in the east, spending a part of the time in the state of his birth and part in New York. At the age of 21 he started out in the battle of life for himself. Two years later, he came west and entered 80 acres of land to which he added other tracts and which constituted his home up to his death. In July 1843 he was married to Mary Hofstater, by whom four children were born, two of whom, George and Scott, survivie. Mrs Sattison died October 8th, 1873, and in March 1875 Mr Sattison married mrs Polly Beard. The funeral occurred yesterday and was largely attended. Mr Sattison was a man of many good traits of character and was highly esteemed by all who know him. Columbia City Post, Indiana; 28 Nov 1894 ---------------- The History of Whitley Co., IN 1872 extract below places Jonathan as "one of one of six children born to Adam and Elizabeth Sattison", PA natives of German descent who settled and died in Niagara County, NY. Prima facie, his parents were NOT the similarly named Adam Sattison (1785–1872) and his wife Elizabeth Breston (1799–1869) as that couple departed Niagara County, NY after 1830 census and settled in Ripley, Huron, Ohio where they died, and none of their children's obits reference Jonathan as a sibling. Additionally they had a son John Sattison (1821–1901) so it's highly unlikely they named another son Jonathan. Certain trees on ancestry place Jonathan as a son of the above Adam by a first marriage to a Mariah Elizabeth (1794–1815) maiden name unknown, but none do so with any source record confirmation, and they also have him as a twin of Sophia, but she was born 9 May 1820 per her gravestone which firmly places her as a daughter of Elizabeth Breston. ------------------ JONATHAN SATTISON was born in Lebanon County, Penn., in 1815, and was one of six children born to Adam and Elizabeth Sattison, natives of Pennsylvania, and of German descent. When nine years of age, his parents moved to Northumberland County, and then, three years later, moved to Niagara County, N. Y., where they cleared a farm, and there passed the remainder of their days. At the age of twenty-one, our subject began work on his own account, and in the fall of 1838 started West with $120 in search of a home. At this time he entered eighty acres of his present farm, and went back and forth on foot between it and his home in the fall of each year, making a little improvement each trip, till 1842. July, 1843, he was married to Mary Hofstater, daughter of George Hofstater, and a native of New York, and by this union had four children, two of whom are living — George H. and Scott. Mrs. Sattison died October 8, 1873, and Mr. Sattison was married to a widow, Mrs. Polly Beard, in March, 1875- She was the daughter of Michael Ensley, a native of Germany. Mr. and Mrs. Beard came to the township in 1843, settled on and cleared a farm, and reared seven children, five of whom are still living. Mr. Sattison has shown much enterprise and industry since his advent into the township; his farm is all that could be desired, and he is active in advancing all home industries. Mrs. Sattison is a member of the Christian Church. History of Whitley Co., IN 1872
