He became a freeman on 3 June 1657 in Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. After Mary's death, on 15 October 1657 Jonathan, married second, Mary Cobb, at age 20, daughter of Elder Henry Cobb and Patience Hurst, in Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. On 5 June 1671, the Court ordered "yt some two or three men be appointed in every town of this jurisdiction to have the inspection of the ordinaries or in any other places suspected, to take notice of such abuses as may arise in reference to the premises or otherwise and make report thereof to the Court: appointed for Middleberry: Jonathan Dunham. He was elected on 3 June 1674 in Middleborough, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, as a Selectman and served for two years. He was a lay preacher in Falmouth in 1679 according to the following statement of the Committee Representing the Settlement of the Town: "[He was] employed in Preaching the Good word of God amongst us for our edification." He was granted land on 13 July 1681 in Falmouth, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, consisting of ten acres. The Town of Edgartown sought him as a Preacher, however the negotiations, conducted by Matthew Mayhew, had drawn out. Edgartown passed the following on 27 October 1684: that if Mr. Mayhew cannot Prevail with Mr. Dunham the Town desire that to Treat with some other man who he shall think fitt and is ordered to give 35 pounds a year." This provided the need stimulation and, and shortly thereafter the following was recorded: "I Matthew Mayhew being employed by Edgartown in the year of our Lord 1684 to procure Mr. Dunham or some other minister for them did agree with Mr. Dunham as minister of the gospel in the said Town vis: to allow Thirty Pounds per annum was excepted by them which I now for the Better satisfaction do declare to said Town to have been my return to them."
