Background
Born on November 11, 1729, to Edward and Elizabeth Lawford, Jonathan quickly grew adept to country life. Living in a large estate outside Dublin, Ireland, he was taught by his parents many skills such as riding, hunting, sewing, craftsmanship, violin, and most reluctantly, politics. At age eight, he attended a school in Blessington, southwest of Dublin. He studied for one year there, before purchasing a comission into the Royal Marines as a staff officer and being sent off to the West Indies.
After spending several months on the staff, serving tea to generals and colonels, Jonathan was surprised to find that his services were needed in another way. As a young ensign, he was attached to the Seventeenth Regiment and sent along with the regiment to assist the defenders of Port Tariff as they fought enemy soldiers that had attacked the island. After rushing to the defense of a battery of artillery, and rallying a company of soldiers into square just seconds before a squadron of dragoons charged the company, Jonathan was promoted to lieutenant and placed into the light company of the Seventeenth.
After spending two years in the regiment as a lieutenant, Jonathan was transferred to the Twenty-First Regiment, another British infantry regiment stationed in the West Indies. While defending a bridge during the action at Swann's Heights, the captain of his company was struck down by the sword of an enemy cavalry officer. Avenging his captain and strengthening the men's spirits, fourteen year old Jonathan raised a cheer as he rushed ahead of the line to pull the enemy officer down from his saddle and kill him. Although he didn't realize it in the heat of the moment, by replacing the late commander of the company, Jonathan was given a brevet captaincy.
