Jonathan married Esther Couch (1776-1819), with whom he is believed to have had several children. Several daughters were mentioned in his 1844 will. The daughters named in the will are Abigail, Est(h)er, Cornelia C., Caroline, and Hariet A. Couch. Esther is believed to be Esther Ann Couch Cowl, (1820-1892), FAG Memorial # 14811874, buried in Maple Avenue Cemetery, in Patterson, N.Y. Caroline is believed to be Caroline Doolittle (1804-1827), FAG Memorial # 44684570, wife of Hart B. Doolittle (1799-1826) (FAG Memorial # 33684633) and mother of Mary Doolittle and Hart B. Doolittle (1825-1866) (FAG Memorial # 216954674). Hart and Caroline Doolittle and their son Hart B. Doolittle are all buried in Milltown Cemetery, in Brewster, NY.
After his wife Esther's death, Jonathan married Elizabeth "Betsey" Hall Penny Couch in 1819. He fathered three children with Betsey: John A. (born 1820, died at age 8 in 1829), Darius Nash Couch (notable major general in the Civil War), and Charles H. Couch (believed to have moved to IL as an adult). Upon Jonathan's death in 1845, the family home at 85 Gage Road and the family cemetery plot at Milltown Cemetery, both in Brewster, were passed down to sons Darius and Charles. It makes logical sense that Jonathan, who died in 1845, must be buried in the family plot at Milltown, where his first wife Esther (died 1819), son John A. (died 1829) and second wife Betsey (died 1861) are all buried. There does not appear, however, to be a headstone for his grave. The picture attached shows the area of his probable burial, in his family's plot.
Validation for Jonathan's burial at Milltown Cemetery is found in a listing of graves in the old section of the cemetery, called the Old Milltown Burying Ground. The web address is given below. http://sites.rootsweb.com/~nyputnam/history/chapXXII/427-428.htm

Gravesite Details
There is a space where Jonathan is assumed to be buried, near his 2nd wife and their eldest son, but there is no stone, or it has sunk into the ground. He died between the death years of his 1st and 2nd wives; it makes sense that he is buried here.
