Col. Jonathan Wetherbee

Not the same as Jonathan Wetherbee, of Stow

Probably the son of Joseph Wetherbee, Sr. & Elizabeth Wetherbee

That two of his sons had served under him in the 8 months campaign at Cambridge [in 1775]. [MSS 16-929] Conjecture that the two sons are Jonathan and Joseph as sons from 2nd marriage would be too young.
