Jasper Partridge (Patridge in this and other records) was born 15 April 1732 in Medway, Suffolk county, Massachusetts Bay Colony, the son of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Learned) Partridge.  He died in 1821 in Gustavus Township, Trumbull County, Ohio.  Jasper married (1) Mary Rice (1737-1767) on 12 October 1756 in Barre, Worcester County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, and they had seven children.  He married Joy Nichols (1735-????) in 1769 in Guilford, Cumberland County, New York Colony (now Windham County, Vermont) and they had four children.

Jasper and Mary (Rice) Partridge are my 6th great-grandparents, through their son Thomas Partridge (1758-1828) who married Hannah Wakeman (1763-1814) in about 1785 in New York.
