Jonathan Parsons (November 30, 1705 – July 19, 1776) was a Christian New England clergyman during the late colonial period and a supporter of the American Revolution. Born in West Springfield, Massachusetts, he was the youngest son of Ebenezer (Deacon) Parsons (1668-1752) and Margaret Marshfield of Springfield. He was intended for an artisan career, but the Rev. Jonathan Edwards, then a tutor at Yale, persuaded young Parsons to prepare for college.
