From: A History of Buckfield Oxford County Maine
Jonathan was the first Damon to go to Buckfield Maine. In the year of 1789 three young men from Mass, Luthur Gardner of Hingham, Jonathan Damon of Pembroke, Mass and William Brock of the same vicinity, settled in the section near David Farrar's.
A sister of Jonathan had married David Record who had moved to Buckfield from Pembroke Mass, in 1781. Whether her presents here was the cause of her brothers coming of the accounts or the accounts given by David Farrar caused him to seek a place of settlement is uncertain. He had been bound out while a child and had been incurred to hardship and toil. He was uneducated but honest and industrious. The first year of his coming he made a clearing and erected his log house. He did not return to Mass. on the approach of winter as did Gardner and Brock, but he hired out to Benjamin Spaulding at four dollars per month taken lard as payment.
In the year 1791 he raised a very large corn crop. It is said by his descendants that for many days and nights he only left his husking to prepare and eat his meals. He worked right along through the night, lying back among the fodder to sleep, when exhausted nature could no longer bear up under the constant strain. His only companion as he told one of his grandchildren in later years, was a big black bear that use to come every night and eat her supper from the opposite side of the pile of corn. "Why didn't you kill her??" asked the boy, while he was telling the story. "Because I was so lonesome that even the company of this bear was company for me" he answered.
After his corn was husked he went back to Mass. for the purpose of pursing the heart and hand of Miss Patience Josselyn. It is related at one of his visits she asked why his hands were so hard, and he answered because he husked so much corn. He won Miss Patience and they were married in April 1792. She had a brother living on what was once called the Andrew Hall farm, and she came from Mass with Jonathan and they were married in Turner, Me. by the Rev. John Stricklin.
Jonathan's ambition was to own land. As he prospered, he kept adding to his farm. He kept buying and clearing as long as there was any wild land near him. At last he owned many hundreds of acres. He cleared more land than any other pioneer in Buckfield. His children married and settled in and near Buckfield, and his descendants today are very numerous.

Jonathan married Josselyn, Patience Howland on 25 Apr 1793 in Turner, Androscoggin Co., ME. Patience (daughter of Josselyn, Thomas Jr and Barker, Patience) was born on 28 Feb 1765 in Pembroke, Plymouth Co., MA; died in 1844 in Buckfield, Oxford Co., ME; was buried in Buckfield, Oxford Co., ME.
