Biographical Notes

Jason wasn't a common name at the time and he was probably the same man who married Peg (#1601) in 1798.

His mother, Catherine/Cate (#1740), was a servant of Moses Case. His probable father was Cesar (#1739). HIs siblings included Enos (#1741), Limus (#1743), and Festus (#1744).

He eventually moved to Shelter Island where he was enumerated as head of household in the following years:
1820: 1 male 45+, 1 female 45+, 1 female 26-44, 2 males 14-25, 1 female under 14, Total = 6;
1830: 1 male 55-99, 1 female 36-54, 2 males 24-35, 1 female 24-35, Total = 5;
1840: 1 male 55-99, 1 female 55-99, 2 males 24-35, 1 male under 10, Total = 5;
