Jonas came to Canada in 1780 because of the part he played in the American Revolution. In his Claim for losses dated at Montreal, 28 Feb 1788, Jonas says he always took an active part in favour of Great Britain and was taken prisoner by the Rebels in 1778 for assisting British Scouts. He was tried for his life at Esopus for murder. He broke loose and escaped to Canada after being four weeks in distress in the woods. He never served in any corps. He had 4 sons in the army and resides in New Johnstown. He had 50 acres of improved land on the Delaware. He had built himself a house and a barn and stable, all burnt and destroyed by the rebels. He drove his cattle to Col. Butler. He lost 9 horses, 30 sheep, 2 calves, 12 hogs and furniture and farming utensils and a loom and crops in the barn. Jonas Jr. and Ben were in the Butler's Rangers; William, John, and Roger were listed in the Kings Royal Regiment of New York. The 2 youngest- Nathan and Steve were naturally too young to fight. The mother Sarah after a hazardous journey reunited with her husband and sons on the Isle of Jesus in the St. Lawrence.
