| |

| |
− | | |
− | Jonathan Whitney served from Watertown in King Philip's War (Bodge,
| |
− | 273, 376).
| |
− | | |
− | In 1679 Jonathan became an inhabitant of Sherborn, MA. With five
| |
− | other men, Jonathan Whitney was appointed to lay out highways leading
| |
− | from Sudbury, Sherborne, Marlborough and Framingham, and Falls upon
| |
− | Charles River, "so as may be most convenient for the accommodation of
| |
− | travaillers from Towne to town both for men & beast" (15 December 1684,
| |
− | Pulsifer, 4:139). His involvement with the town and colony roads
| |
− | continued to the end of his life, when on 15 December 1702 the Middlesex
| |
− | Court ordered that Jonathan Whitney Senr be paid for his work in
| |
− | ordering the building of a bridge on the way from Natick to Boston at the
| |
− | falls (Middlesex County General Sessions).
