"With his brother, Robert Whitcomb, his brother-in-law, Rodolphus Ellmes, John Hoar and
others, Jonathan Whitcomb served on the jury of inquest upon the death of Richard Mann of
Scituate, Mass., February 16, 1655, and must have been at least 21 years of age if the
common law of England fixing the legal age held in the Colonies then. He removed from
Scituate to Lancaster, Mass. with his father in 1654, and seems to have exercised the
rights of a freeman thereafter... He was married November 25, 1667, to Hannah ---- and
their home was situated in the middle of the town. He died in February, 1690, and the
inventory of his estate was taken February 25, 1691... About two and one-half years after
the death of Jonathan, or on July 18, 1692, Hannah, Jonathan's widow, was killed at the
house of Peter Joslin in Lancaster by Indians."
