In December of 1818 he was granted 121 acres in Monongalia (now present-day Preston County) on Roaring Creek adjoining the lands of William Roberts and Thomas Butler's settlement at the Coal Lick Bottom on the Cheat River with the final patent granted 15 May 1822.

"We can follow Jonathan's settlement in (West) Virginia through the U. S. Census records. The 1810 U. S. Census shows Jona. Spurgen living in Monongalia County, no township listed, age 26-45, 2 males under 10, 1 female 16-26, and 1 female under 10 (Also shown on the same census page are a Jas. , Jessee, and Jno. Spurgeon; perhaps father James, son Jessee, and uncle John?). This census shows us Jonathan and his first wife, Ruth Jeffreys and their children. ... Given that he was born in 1787 and had three children under 10 by 1810, we may assume he married Ruth Jeffreys ca. 1805/6 when he was 18/19 years of age.

... 1820 U. S. Census... 1830 U. S. Census... 1840 U. S. Census... 1850 U. S. Census... It appears that he moved several times. In actuality, he didn't move, the county border moved around him." Source: Spurgeon Family History, by Dr. Gary Alan Dickey, Canoga Park CA, 1993, p47

First settled in the city of Wheeling. ...son George settled in Ohio, William went on to either Kansas or where the city of Milwaukee is now located. He sold his land in Wisconsin and went back to Virginia. Later on, however, he brought his whole family by covered wagon to Wisconsin and purchased 80 acres in Outagamie County.

He was the son of James Spurgeon and Elizabeth Browning - Farmer.

He was married to Ruth Jeffreys, around 1807 in Monongalia West Virginia. To this union was born: James, Elizabeth and John William Spurgeon.
Ruth, pass away in 1813.
