The 1920 Census indicates an emigration date of 1865. In his obituary it states he came to America in 1863. Jonathan would have been 15 in 1855 (pretty young but not impossible for a soldier if he indeed did serve in the British army before entering the US). The obituary also states he fought in the Civil War battles of Petersburg and Richmond which took place in early April 1865 making an entry into the US in 1865 followed by a quick enlistment and assignment to the Army of the Potomac possible. Since the obituary was written by his son, Ralph Lewis Deex, who was close to his father it is probably correct. - Arthur Deex According to Petition No. 16724 Court of Common Pleas, Cuyahoga County, Cleveland, Ohio Jonathan's date of entry was 5 Dec 1864.   Noted Events In his Life: Census, June 6, 1841, Great Oakley, Essex, England.
