Jonathan Bozorth, son of John Bozorth and Innocent Borden, was born in Frederick County, Virginia on December 13, 1754. His paternal grandparents were Simon Bozorth and Mary Mason/Marson of Evesham, Burlington County, New Jersey, who settled there in 1713. His maternal grandparents were James Borden and Mary Ann Lawton.

It is believed that Jonathan Bozorth's great grandparents were Jean Bossard (The French Jean was later translated to the English John. - VPB) and Margaretha Mueller of Strasbourg, Alsace Province, France. Jean Bossard, his wife and 3 infants (children under 21.) arrived in Jamestown, Virginia on September 20, 1700 on the second French Huguenot refugee ship the "Peter and Anthony" sailing from London, England. They settled in Manikin Town in the Colony of Virginia. He was became a naturalized citizen in 1805.

In the early 1770's Jonathan and his brother John settled on adjacent land grants in West Augusta County, Virginia. They were about 50 miles south of where brother Joseph lived on South Ten Mile Creek not too far from Fort Pitt (now Pittsburgh). In 1776 that whole area became Monongalia County, Virginia. Jonathan and John's land eventually fell into what became the downtown area of present day Fairmont, Marion County, West Virginia. Brother Joseph's land eventually fell into what became Greene County, Pennsylvania in 1796.

In September of 1776, when Jonathan was twenty one years old, he enlisted in the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment as a private. His pension application in the National Archives stated he had been in the "Scrimages of Woodbridge, Bonbrook [Bound Brook, NJ], and in Broadhead [Col. Daniel Brodhead] and McIntoshes Campaign against the Indians." (Pension File R-1047) The 8th Pennsylvania spent the winter of 1777-1778 at Valley Forge.

Jonathan Bozorth and Mary Hargis were married about 1779 in Virginia. In 1784 they sold their Virginia land (now part of the town of Fairmont, Marion County, West Virginia), and moved to Nelson County, Virginia, District of Kentucky. The deed was signed by or for Patrick Henry, then Governor of Virginia. In 1793 the land they lived on became Hardin County, Kentucky. Jonathan served as a Captain in the Hardin County, Kentucky Militia in 1798. In 1810 that land was located in the newly-created Grayson County, Kentucky. He died there on Seprember 14, 1830 and was buried in the family cemetery on what was once their homeplace. That family cemetery is now called the Taylor Cemetery.

On June 14, 1987, a dedication ceremony was held at the Bozorth / Taylor Cemetery in Grayson County, Kentucky commemorating the Revolutionary War service of Jonathan Bozorth. The Daughters of the American Revolution placed a military marker for him there.
