Hi William, Regarding the attached message I was wondering if you have a copy of the book mentioned. The only copies I know about are located on the east coast. I am in the northwest. The Library of Congress will provide a copy for about $ 300 plus. A little too steep since I do not know if my Bonner/Bonar family is even mentioned by the author. If you have seen the book I am curious about the information contained within. I have been told the book is only a record of the history of the Bonner (and the variations) name. I do not believe that someone would write a book and not include some historical facts about the families mentioned. I have been trying to locate any information on the following. My GGF Patrick Bonner (birth name was probably Bonar) was born in Donegal (10-1860). This information is from the 1890 Idaho census. He married my GGM in 1889 in Eva, Idaho (confirmed). His whereabouts from 1889 are known by the birth of his children until his reported death in 1906 in Nevada. His parents were possibly William and Catherine of Donegal and sister of Anne Bonar who married James McKelvey and was with James in Penn. in 1873 where her first daughter Hannah was possibly born. The dates of immigration are unknown. If this information matches anything you have please let me know.

Penny, A cousin did extensive research and said that County Antrim was the place in Ireland. I think the name "Samuel" in our line comes from Samuel Laird/Leard but am not sure. I have that while the Lairds came to SC on "The Earl of Hillsborough," the Bonners came on the "Nancy." I also have the following: "Bonar, Bonnar, Grahame were septs of the Graham of Montrose Clan in Scotland." The source cited is page 87 from Scots Kith and Kin. Edinburgh. Neill and Co., LTC. n.d. Like you, I think they're all related and that someone will find the connection. Mike

Bonner researchers.....here's my scenario: I have run up against a brick wall trying to find anything about my grandfather, Albert Ezekiel Bonner, and his family. The family Bible says Albert was born in Arkansa in 1878. This is all I know except where and how he died, that he had a brother named Frank and was registered with the Miner's Association in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas. In searching the Sebastian County, Arkansas, 1880 Census, this is what I have found, a family registered in the Soundex as Binner. Since the Elbert fit my grandfather's age I looked at the actual census records and found the name on the line above (Bonner, Binner) has a letter that extends down into the name of Bonner that when recorded by the Soundex person, they recorded it as Binner. This I am certain of because the head of the household, E.B. Bonner (Binner, 1880 Census) is listed in the 1900 and 1910 Census as E. B. Bonner living at the same address. The Bonner (Binner) family listed in the 1880 Census is as follows: E. B. Bonner (Binner) age 41 b. Tenn. Rachael age 38 b. Tenn. Annie age 15 b. Tenn. John L. age 13 b. Tenn. Margaret age 11 b. Ark. Thomas F. age 7 b. Ark. Mary age 5 b. Ark. Elbert age 2 b. Ark. Now the Elbert, age 2, fits the age of my grandfather Albert and is from the same area. And, as we all know, many enumerators spelled names as they sounded without checking for spelling. I also think that the Thomas F. listed mught be the brother Frank. Is there anyone out there, in big wide world of ours, that connects with any of these names? I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you. Barbara Cargill Easley, [email protected]

Here's what I have William (b. ca. 1725) & Mary (b. ca. 1730) Bonner from Northern Ireland arrived in Abbleville Dist, SC before 1767.

Mary Laird (1762 Ireland - 1832 AL), daughter of Samuel Laird/Leard & Margaret Gibson. (The Lairds arrived on "The Earl of Hillsborough.") Children: 1. Margaret Bonner (1779 SC - ca. 1822 MO) m. Robert Jones 2. Mary Bonner (1782 SC - 1862 AL) m. Joesph Jones 3. William Bonner (1783 SC - 1877 TX) m. Ann Lee Joel 4. Dr. Samuel Bonner (1786 SC - 1832 AL) m. Sarah Hearst 5.

Marilyn & List, This Elizabeth Bonner was the daughter of James Bonner listed in the Rev. War list. He died in Wilcox Co., AL. She in MS. I have quite a bit of information on James Bonner & Mary Laird & their descendants; I descend from them through 3 of their sons; intermarriage makes genealogy much easier. I'll share information with anyone interested. Mike Bonner [email protected]

Still searching for information on Newton Bonner (born 1821) married to Elizabeth Smith Julian. Son John Robert Bonner. >From the Census of John Robert Bonner, Newton is born either in North Carolina or Kentucky. Believe his father is John Robert Bonner. Brother Jim/James Bonner moved to Virginia and owned a plantation. John Robert Bonner spent most of his childhood in Greenville, Bond, Illinois. With his stepfather Elihu R McCord and Elizabeth Smith Julian. Then moved to South Dakota, California then Utah. Any one out there working on this same family?? or has information! Thanks, Kathy

William Bonner, son of James Bonner & Mary Laird, married Ann Lee Joel, daughter of Thomas Joel of SC. I have these Bonners and Lairds getting off the boat from Ireland in SC. Mike

Did your William marry Sarah Lutton? I have a Bonner line from 1720, only I have placed them in North Carolina.

Just for clarification, the following information on my ancestor is incorrect. His name was William Bonner---no middle name or initial. He was born in SC. Thanks!

Hello Bonnar List members... First of all, thanks Marilyn for taking over the list for us all... I don't contribute too much to the list, as usually I see no connection with my line... but thought perhaps today I would enclose a bit about my BONNAR family link. In particular I am stuck at James Crampsey who we have lost track of, after the birth of his first born son...who happens to be my great-grandfather. Also I have searched ships records for this James... for the year of 1867... and since he was living in Belfast assumed he left from the Port of Belfast to America.... but did not find him listed... It had to be the year of 1867 as well, according to all official documents I have. ----- James Crampsey..... My great-great grandfather's name was James, and his first born son was called Edward...and I have all the information on the son Edward... We assume that there were siblings of Edward but do not know, since we lost track of this James (his father) at the birth of Edward. From the research I have done, there are a great many Crampsey families in and around Cardonagh, in county Donegal...in fact I was writing to one who was an "O'Donnell...smile I know that my Edward was the eldest child of James, and also the date of his birth...since I have a copy now of the birth certificate.. He was born in the home of his grandmother and grandfather in Belfast and his grandmother assisted at the birth.... (maternal side). The birth certificate says that the father (James) was in America at the time of the birth... and that is where the search has ended for me unfortunately... I just can't seem to find out where he went in America and IF this James Crampsey ever returned to Ireland. Also did Edward's mom then remarry and does Edward have siblings??? interesting isn't it. I also have a copy of the marriage certificate of Edward's parents..they were married in a Catholic Church in Belfast and now have a pict of that church which is still standing...plus a pict of the official register that they signed at the time of the wedding... From the Marriage certificate.... James Crampsey married Elisa Bulger on Mar.2 1867 at the RC church (St. Matthews) in Belfast, Ireland ( the certificate is a bit unclear as to whether Elisa is spelled with a Z or an S...) However, the family always called her Annie and not by the name Elisa... her mom was also an Annie, and my maternal grandmother also was named Annie... The groom was working in a factory at the time of marriage, the bride was living at home with her parents. Groom's address was 3 Sarah St.. (rooming house) Belfast. Bride's address was 29 Alton St. (her parent's home) Belfast ( I did confirm those addresses with a street directory and have copies of that ) The groom's father was John Cramsie (shoemaker) and he was a witness at the wedding *** unfortunately it does not tell me where he was from and I am assuming he did not live in Belfast but travelled for the marriage...and tend to think that perhaps John is in fact from Donegal area... I can't seem to get past this road block... and JOHN is the road block, to go back further. The brides parents are.. James Bulger (grocer) and Annie Bulger of Belfast, Ireland... have lots of information on them. ------- From the Birth certificate of Edward.. Dec. 20th, 1867, in Belfast Ireland....we had actually always thought he was born on Feb. 17th, 1868 since that was listed in other records but it was not that. It lists the parents as James and Ann Cramsie, of Belfast Ireland. The father (James) is in America at the time of birth and his occupation is now listed as "clerk" and not as working in a factory. Present at the birth was Annie Bulger his grandmother (maternal) and she is also listed as the witness on the birth certificate The address of where he is born is listed as 29 Alton St... which would be the home of his grandparents.. ------- Edward Crampsey (Bonnar) my great grandfather, at 20 years of age finally left Irleand and went the USA (1888), and then to Canada and married my Great Grandmother (who was Icelandic)... this Edward Crampsey also had a first born son called "James Arni Bonnar" ...James Arni Bonnar (my mom's uncle, and my grandmother's older brother) was born March 23, 1897 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and has one surviving daughter who lives near Seattle Washington in the USA. The middle name of Arni is icelandic from his maternal side. So if anybody on this list has information that connects with mine, I would be MOST greatful to hear from you....smile. I am stuck at what happened to James after he went off to America before the birth of his first child...and also stuck with where in Ireland Jame's father (John the shoemaker) came from. All the marriage certificate stated was that he was a witness at the wedding of James. sincerely Judy Moses =====
