I read a book that surrounded a family’s life on a farm in the eastern United States in the 17-1800s. The fathers name was Jonadab, and the author used the time appropriate language style which included thee’s and thoo’s. One of his daughters gets sexually assaulted by a rich aristocrat and gets pregnant and his son George marries an older woman in the book. It was a paperback novel written by a woman I wanna remember.

Seems like you're looking for The Quiet Earth although it's set in Yorkshire, England.
"For decades Jonadab Oaks has rules his family and farm with a rod of iron . . .
Now Joseph, his eldest son, has announced that he has to marry pretty Mary Butler. Not only that, but Jonadab's two daughters, Beth and Tamar, become the focus of unwanted attention and his son, George, is showing signes of demanding an independence that Jonadab isn't ready to grant. Set against the touchness and beauty of the Yorkshire Dales in mid-Victorian England, The Quiet Earth celebrates real family life: its strengths, its tussles, it's losses and gains."
