    Notes:

    One of about three Revolutionary War soldiers buried in McDonough County, Jonas is famous for having been shot through the cheek during the War and surviving. The musket ball and a tooth remain in the family's collection. [Info from original bio by Lewis Wetzel.]



    Jonas's younger brother Isaac was killed at the battle of Bunker Hill and after learning of this, Jonas said, "I will go and take his place." He enlisted March 17, 1777, at Hollis, New Hampshire, under Lieut. James Gould, and served in Capt. House's Company, Col. Cilley's Regiment and Stark's Brigade. (Fourth Company, First Regiment, New Hampshire troops) While retreating from Ticonderoga, at the Battle of Hubberton on July 5, 1777, Jonas was hit by a musket ball in the right cheek. It knocked out three teeth, passed between the windpipe and the neck bones and lodged near the left collar bone. When extracted three days later with a pocket knife, it had settled several inches below the collar bone. After receiving this shot, he coughed incessantly and was thought to have gone into consumption. (tuberculous -Ed) Jonas was furloughed, and returned to his farm. One day while out in the field watching others put up hay, soldiers arrived looking for deserters. This infuriated him, and grabbing a pitchfork he shouted, "Get out of here or I'll pitch you to hell faster than all the devils can stow you away." His grandson, Isaac Newton Hobart, relating this story, always added that he afterwards become converted. The tooth, lost at the time, was coughed up by Jonas sixteen months later. Then, having recovered, he returned to the army where he served until his discharge in January 1, 1781.
