I asked this question of another of my lists - "Markham" - and was referred
to this helpful web site below.

Typeface won't reproduce the old handwriting very well but from this it
would appear that:

John is "Jno/"

Jonathan is "Jo/n"

where the slash is horizontal with the "o" above and (in the case of
Jonathan) the "n" is below.

Thanks and regards
