This is the family that really got me interested in doing family history. They are my fifth great grandparents.
Jonathan Hampton was born on November 5, 1775 in Muncy, Lycoming, Pennsylvania. Around 1796, he married Sarah Colborn, who was born on August 28, 1777 in Pennsylvania.
They had seven children: James Hampton, John Hampton, Thomas Hampton, Robert Hampton, William Hampton, Sarah Hampton, and Jonathan Hampton. I descend from James Hampton, him being my 4th great grandfather.
Around 1800, the family removed from Pennsylvania and located in Ontario, Canada, where they had the rest of their children. They both died there; Sarah dying on July 16, 1840, and Jonathan dying on April 27, 1812.
I have been doing a descendant project on this family, and have traced over 1500 descendants, and am NO WHERE near done!@
