According to Mather's Magnalia, Rev. Jonathan Mitchell, was born is Halifax, in
Yorkshire, England, in 1624; came to America at the age of eleven years, in the
same ship with Richard Mather; arrived at Charlestown, Mass., where they were
sick the first winter. He went to Concord in the latter part of the winter,
next summer to Saybrook, Onn., the following spring to Wethersfield, and at the
close of that year to Stamford. He graduated at Harvard College in 1647,
preached his first sermon at Hartford, June 22, 1649, and began to occupy the
pulpit at Cambridge, Aug 12, 1649, which he continued to fill for eighteen
