His birth and death dates come from:"Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Files" Abstracted by Virgil D. White. The National Historical Publishing Company pg 28.
Alternate date of death: 7 Mar 1838.
His middle name is probably a version of Sawtell/Sartwell. It is likely that his mother was Bathsheba Sawtell/Sartwell who was listed as Bathsheba Alexander in her father's will. Bathsheba had a brother named Jonathan who was killed by Indians two years before Jonathan Sartle Alexander was born. The Sartwell family was prominent in VT about that time and there was a Fort Sartwell (also called Fort Sartle) in the area."Soon after Massachusetts made the 1736 grant, two forts were built by men who had received lands under that grant. Josiah Sartwell built his fortified residence within the present town of Vernon. Fort Sartwell, as it became known, was the site of several Indian raids and attacks." <http://www.virtualvermont.com/towns/vernon.html>
Jonathan was about 8 years old when his father was killed by Indians across the Connecticut River in NH.
Jonathan Alexander was a Revolutionary War soldier. He received a pension and son Justin is mentioned in the pension application. "Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Files" Abstracted by Virgil D. White. The National Historical Publishing Company pg 28
In 1840 his second or third wife Bathsheba Rice Alexander is listed as receiving the pension.

Jonathan left no probate.
Much is known of Jonathan and Bathsheba Alexanders later years from his application for a Revolutionary War Pension. In 1835 Jonathan was recorded as age 83. He had served with the Massachusetts Continental Troops. He was granted a pension but died on 7 March 1838 in Mexico. Bathsheba had a widows pension until her death in Mexico in the home of her sons, Gardner Hager. Neither Jonathan nor Bathsheba has a marked grave, but were probably interred in the Wellswood Cemetery.
During the 1820s Jonathan and Bathsheba Alexander remove to Mexico, Oswego Co., NY. They were accompanied by Gardner Hagar and his family. They bought adjoining land in an area which came to be called Hagars Settlement or Hagarstown. Gardners family owned part of lot 123 and 135. Later on this area came to be called South Mexico. The Parish family owned part of lot 123. The Parishes gave 80 rods of it to the South Mexico Methodist Episcopal Church Burying Ground Society. Gardner lived next door to this cemetery which today is called the Wellswood Cemetery. Gardner was a trustee of the society.
