Jonathan Prescott

Jonathan and his wife Ann built a large house in Chester, Lunenburg County Nova Scotia called "Maroon Hall".

During the French and Indian War, he reported the Mi'kmaq burned his house and mill twice and, for the protection of his family, he spent much of his time during these years in Halifax.

[8]) Prescott was suspected of being an American Patriot sympathizer given that, after the initial hostile engagement, Prescott reportedly allowed Captain Noah Stoddard to bury his dead and then had tea with him the day before Stoddard orchestrated the Raid on Lunenburg (1782).

[9] Prescott died at 11 Jan 1807 Chester, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, Canada.

[10] Jonathan's son Joseph joined the Continental Army, fought at Fort Ticonderoga and was a founding member of the Society of the Cincinnati.
