Wish I could help. I am looking for the birthplace of William Henry Bonner who married Nancy Martin in 1825 in Arkansas. Bonner was killed coming in to Texas; therefore, tracing has been difficult. Best wishes to you.

Sorry, the only Bonner I have in that period is W. J. born about 1818. That line comes up to Whitmell J Bonner, my maternal great grandfather.

Dear List Readers, I keep meaning to share my good news - and the variety of spellings for Bonner! On the 1841 British census for Battle Union, Sussex County, I found the family BONNER living at Brams Hill Farm.? Listed are Stephen, 45, farmer; Ann, 40; Lester, 20; Charles, 18; Mary,65; John, 25; and Aaron Morris, 13.? All were born in Sussex County. The US 1860 census lists Lester BONER, age 40, b. Eng; wife Ann, age 46 b. Eng; Sons Stephen age 14, Frank age 14, both born in Eng, and Frederick, age 6, b. Ohio. In the 1870 US census Lester, Ann and Fred BOUNER are located in Sumner, Webster Co., Iowa. In 1880 I can only find Fred BONNER in Quincy, Adams Co., IL.? In 1900, Fred is listed with wife Ida, son Elmer John and the last name is spelled incorrectly as BOWNER.? As I know my grandfather's name is Elmer John and his mother was Ida, I am sure this is the correct family. Judy (Bonner) Martin [email protected]
Was born in Allen Co. KY, near Bollingreen. Nancy married John M. HOWARD in 1851 at Missouri. In 1857 she & husband left for California, living there 24 yrs. before moving to Douglas Co. OR. Where she died. I believe she had a sister Talitha born in KY. in 1818. I'm hoping to learn more about this BONNER family. Are they connected to any listers? Any help would be appreciated!

Re: Illinois Bonner family According to my information, Henry Bonner II died on 15 October 1850 in Illinois, either Madison or Macoupin County. Henry and Mary (Vaughn) moved from Georgia between 1807 and 1811. Mary was opposed to slavery and that is why they moved to Illinois. They moved there before 1811 and their son William M. Bonner was born there. Henry and Mary's oldest son was Alexander Vaughn Bonner, named for her father. Their next child was Jane, named for her mother. The Henry who married Mary Vaughn was the son of Henry Bonner (1724, VA-1822, Warren Co., GA) and Ann Cate. The 1937 book -- Hutchings, Bonner, Wyatt-An Intimate Family History -- by Richard Henry Hutchings. It has an interesting discussion of this family. According to that book, the children of Henry and Ann/Nancy Cate Bonner were Richard, Lucretia, Jones, Jamima, Wyatt, Henry, Jr., John, Mary, Luraney, Nancy, Robert and James.

Hi, I happened across an archived post about a Jesse Bonner of Reams, Dinwiddie Co. Virginia posted by Judy Cardwell. I realize the message is a good decade old, but I have a bit of information about Jesse Bonner and his family (including his will and his father's). I am also quite excited about the letter posted and curious as to where it was found. My family is from Bonner Town and are the descendants of Jesse Bonner's slaves. The letter matches up about exactly with what we were told about that land and its history. I am very excited about the information in the letter, much of the records in the Dinwiddie Courthouse were destroyed making it difficult to research the history and make definitive links. If anyone has any information on the letter it'd be greatly appreciated. thanks, ALeigh this is the archived post to which I am responding:DisplayMail('aol.com','JudySCar</script> Subject: Jesse Bonner of Dinwiddie Co.,Va. Date: Thu, 17 Jul 1997 17:24:21 -0400 (EDT) Hello, this is the letter that I previously mentioned. Can anyone identify this Jesse Bonner? Thank you, Judy 20 Jun 88 [1888] - Norfolk, Virginia - This letter written by C. P. Bonner, Norfolk,Virginia c/o N & W Ry. to his aunt: "My Dear Aunt, I went up to Reams[Dinwiddie Co.,Virginia] last Sunday and paid a visit to the old home of the Bonner Family. I went up in the morning and spend the day. I had no difficulty in finding "Bonner Town" that I wrote to you about the last time that I wrote you. I soon found an old darkey, Jno. Bonner by name, who piloted me around and gave me all the information that he could. It seems that there was once upon a time "old Jennie and Grandsir Ned" who were mother and father to all the existing Bonner Darkirs. Old Jennie and Grandsir Ned, were the property of JESSE BONNER and his wife - ("Brieye"[Bridget]) Bonner. Jesse Bonner was a poor man when he married, acquiring with this wife a large tract of land and some chattels among the rest, Jennie and Ned. This wife died leaving no issue. She left, however, a will freeing Jennie & Ned and settling upon there a tract of land agreeable to then law of Virginia which, as nearly as I can make out, is held in trust forever for the disenidants of Jennie & Ned by the State of Virginia. This land, 296 acres, is now occupied by "The Bonners". But to go back, this will had a condition the slave's children and all were to be the property of Jesse during his life time, and at his death were to be free. In the course of time Jesse married again this time marrying Becky MOORE, whose sister Caroline MOORE married a Perkins. Jesse died leaving no children. No, I was mistaken, Becky Bonner married a BUTTS after her her husband's death. Up until the time of her second marriage, Jesse's widow lived on the farm and the the Bonner Darkirs with her, but when she married BUTTS she moved away from the Bonner farm and gave the place over to the darkirs, who have held it ever since from generation to generation. Now "Candice" told me this and says that Jennie was her grandmother and that she, Candice, is now in the ninterth[90th] year. She looks very old and her son John is the youngest son and he said that he was seventy - and he seemed to be as old as that. So you see the days of Jesse Bonner are long since passed away. This is about all that I could gather. It seems to have been so long since ago that it is rather a vague history. John Bonner said as did also Candice, that there are no Bonners now anywhere near except one that lives some place on Blackwater river and that he had not been seen by anyone at Reams for forty years. The land' at Reams is very poor, hardly more than sand, it gives but a scanty return. Jno. took me to where the "Great House" stood, that is the mansion. The building is all gone, the well is still there and and an old mulberry tree. A little way off are three very large persimon trees that Candice told me were just as large when she was little. Just a little way off in a group of pines is the burying ground. There are no monuments, tombstones or anything of the sort. John told me that there are no white persons buried there except Jesse and his first wife, whose graves are at the foot of a large hickory. Around them are a hundred or more graves, almost all Bonners(darkers) or their relatives. All the Bonner darkers expect to be buried there I cut a cane from a holly bush which grew on one of the graves a the foot of the hickory and have it now. Very many of these darkers have gone away to work and to live, some are in the Richmond some in Petersburg and two are here in Norfolk. There are the Bonner names among them, John & Chapel & David, and William and Ned. They seem to know nothing about our branch of the family, tho' I am sure that they are of a common origin. Jno. Bonner told me that there is a full history of the Bonner family giving the land titles etc. very far back in Dinwiddie Court House. This is about ten mile from Reams across country, so I could not go there. John can read and write and told me that they could nearly all do so. He asked to be remembered to all the "kin folks of Masr.[Master] Jesse" and earnestly invited me here to come again to see them. This letter is for you and Aunt Gus. I will write to the Xenia[Ohio] folks. How is Uncle Lene now, is he still in Chester? Grace asks to be remembered to you all and give my love to all and remember me to Uncle Will and Howard. I hope they are doing well with their store. Write to me and tell me all the news." --------------------------------- Sick sense of humor? Visit Yahoo!

William: if I have written to you before, please just delete this note. I don't recognize you e-mail and name and I always try to inquire of any new Bonner researchers that I see. My gggrandmother was Elizabeth Bonner who married William Robertson (Roberson). She was born in 1793, probably in the areas that are the Carolinas now. William and Elizabeth moved to Lowndes County, Al., had at least three children, Nathaniel J., John A. and Tyre (my great- grandfather). I have been unable to identify Elizabeth's parents. She doesn't seem to be related to the Wilcox Bonners. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Hi I am new to this list and am hoping to find some of my grandfather's relatives. He was Walter Bonner born in Leicester in 1885 to John and Sarah.His sisters were Eliza,Florence, Lillie and Mary Ann(she was the only one I knew). John was born in 1884 to a George and Susannah Bonner-I think this is correct as there is also John Bonner born in 1885. John was 26 on the 1881 census so both would fit. If anyone knows of this family could you get in touch with me direct and not by the mailing list . Hope there are some more Bonners out there Kathy
I'm researching Abigail, wife of Thomas Bonner 1690-1765 of Beaufort Co NC. Does anyone have any recent discoveries? There have long been many guesses as to her maiden name and parents: could be Abigail Daw, daughter of Nicholas Daw and Abigail Wallis; or Abigail Jones, daughter of Edward Jones; or Abigail Butt, daughter of Richard and Dinah Butt; or that she was a Bryan(t). I don't know where these guesses came from... I have done some digging on each of these specific families, and I believe it's safe to say that none of the first three are correct: Our Abigail was born c.1694, and had children born c1714, 1715, 1719. For DAW -- It looks like Abigail Wallis's father William was born c1673, and so Abigail (wife of Nicholas Daw) could be born as early as 1690, or maybe as late as 1730 -- regardless, this is too late to be the mother of Abigail, wife of Thomas Bonner. For JONES -- The IGI says this Abigail Jones is born 1694. However, Thomas and Abigail were already married for several years when Edward's will was written 1718, and he names his daughter as Abigail Jones, not Bonner. For BUTT -- If Richard was born c1688 according to posts on Rootsweb, then his daughter Abigail would be born at a minimum around 1705/1715, or later according to Richard's marriage date of 1729, too late to be Abigail, wife of Thomas Bonner. So I'm going with the theory of "Bryan(t)" as this doesn't yet have attached parents. Of course, she could still be a Daw, Butt, or Jones - just not the parents suggested above. ---------------- Ray Gurganus [email protected] www.gurganus.org
Thomas Trotter Bonner m. Eliz Shackelford - Marengo Co., Ala. 1834 Lived in Pickens Co., Ala. 1850. Searching for parents & siblings of Thomas Trotter Bonner.
Hi Folks, This is just a quick note to describe a recent DNA result that came in. The DNA donor claims (or has claimed on his behalf) descent from Alexander V. Bonner of Illinois. This appears to be identical to Alexander Vaughn Bonner, son of Henry Bonner and Mary Vaughn. There is some question about the father of this Henry. Some people show Henry's father as the Henry Bonner (1724-1822) who married Anne "Nancy Cate". This elder Henry Bonner was son of John Bonner. However, others show this later Henry Bonner to be son of Joseph Bonner, who most likely is also somehow a descendant of the above mentioned John Bonner. In any case, the DNA matches the DNA of the BONNERs of Prince George County, Virginia and Albemarle Parish of Virginia. If anyone can help prove any if this/these lineages, then please let me know.

Hi Folks, We have had a new sample come in recently from a man who claims descent from Thomas Trotter Bonner, as can be seen here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gbonner/bonnerdna/ The DNA type matched the existing type "C" BONNER DNA. This is the type of DNA possessed by those who claim descent from Henry Bonner of Chowan, North Carolina. Therefore it might seem sensible to suggest Thomas Trotter Bonner descends somehow from Henry Bonner of Chowan. Other possibilities exist, however.
