Are there any descendants of Drs. William and Moses BONNER who married ROBERTSON sisters Lucy and Ann in Lincoln County, TN who are on this list? Would love to correspond with them. I am related to the Robertsons thru Elizabeth Shores Robertson. I am descended from her brother. Mildred Greenstreet

William Henry Bonner and Nancy Martin (born in Dayton, Tennessee) married in 1825 in Arkansas. They attempted to enter Texas from Louisiana in the early 1830s about San Augustine where William Henry Bonner was killed. It is thought that he grew up in or about Rapides Parish, Louisiana, but I have not found proof. Nancy Martin traveled into Nacogdoches, Texas with her one year old son and stayed until Texas won its independence. She later married William Gordon Lang. Does anyone know about this William Henry Bonner? His successors settled in Homer and then Lufkin, Texas. His g-g-g grandaughter, Bonner DeShazo

My ggreatgrandfather William Robertson, born 1790, in the area that is now Laurens County, S.C., married Elizabeth Bonner, born 1793. The couple moved to Lowndes County, Al., early in the 1800s. I have been researching the Bonner name for several years, attempting to learn Elizabeth's parents' names. I have found several families in Wilcox County, Al., where Elizabeth and William's son Lee lived. William may have owned property in what is now Wilcox County. Recently I was sent this info taken from the book on passports. >"Passports of Southeastern Pioneers 1770-1823" >Page 189 >Georgia Passports >Executive Department, Thursday 4th August 1803 On a letter from >General DAVID DICKSON Jackson County 28th July 1803 ORDERED >That a Pass Port for WILLIAM DICKSON to travel through Cherokee >nation be prepared >ORDERED >That Pass ports be prepared for the following persons-One for >SHERWOOD BUGG BONNER to travel through the Creek nation-One for >WILLIAM ROBERTSON Esq. to go >into the Creek, and one for DANIEL MCMURPHEY to go to the same place >which were presented and signed. Does anyone recognize the name Sherwood Bugg Bonner? The William Robertson, Esq., could not be my ancestor because my William would have been only 13 at the time of the passport application, but there may be a family connection. I will be grateful for any information or help.

Hi Folks, We now have 100 members of BONNER-L, and 50 members of BONNER-D. There have been some messages in recent months concerning subscription or unsubscription to the list. There is no mechanism for changing an e-mail address associated with subscription other than unsubscribing the old e-mail address and subscribing the new e-mail address. If anyone has issues regarding unsubscription, then please e-mail me privately, and I will make sure you get the correct e-mail address subscribed to the list, or complete unsubscription, if that is your intent. I want to also point out (once again) the BONNER Surname DNA Project. Since the last time I wrote, we have had another sample come in...which matched DNA 'Type "A"'. We are also waiting on results for participant number 16. Here is The Project Webpage: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gbonner/bonnerdna/ One issue I want to raise is that one person has ordered a kit, but has not returned it, and it has been several months since. Furthermore, that person's e-mail is now bouncing. I won't identify the person, except to say that he is from Ohio. I didn't see a similar e-mail address subscribed to this list, so I can only "fish" for it. If you are the person (or know him) I would like to encourage the return of the kit :) For the rest of you, I encourage those male BONNERs among you to participate in The Project, and for other interested parties, please help us recruit for same. The magnitude of success of The Project will be proportional to participation. And for those who have already participated, I encourage you to overview The Website, and make suggestions for improvement, and to check to make sure that what is now seen on The Website is correct. Best, Gregg Bonner BONNER-L ListAdmin BONNER Surname DNA Project Group Administrator

I am seeking info on Bonners that are part of my family.My Mother was a Bonner; born in Rankin County in Mississippi. Her Father was Robert Carl Bonner; married to my Grandmother, Martha Alice (Mattie) Wilson.They were married in 1900 in Rankin County. His Father was either F.J. or R.J. Bonner.Mother was Laura Lawson. Great Grandfather (R.J.Bonner was a Physican). He was in 6th Inf. in Civil War and was Asst. Surgeon.They had another son, Lucius Lawson Bonner who married, lived and died in Meridan.Ms. This family had a congenital heart problem and most died young, as did my grandfather who died at 39 in 1909. My Mother was Elba Louise Bonner, 1 brother, Wilson Guy Bonner. I have run into a brick wall and can find nothing else on this set of Bonners. My Grandfather, Robert Carl Bonner, was a city policeman in Jackson, Ms. Any info anyone has would be a great help to me as I can find nothing else on this set of Bonners. My Grandparents and Great Grandparents are buried in Richland Cemetery in Richland, Ms.(which was known as Plain, Ms. at one time.) Thanks for any help any one can give me. Doris Byrd

Dear List Readers, Because of the down time for several of Rootsweb lists, I thought I would again send this edited letter in hopes that someone will recognize these BONNERS and have further information on them. ======================== Encouraged by the finding of the Saathoffs (the Remmers are still a mystery) on the sailing ship Hansa, I decided to try for the BONNERs again. If you recall, all we knew was that Fred W. BONNER was born in Ohio and the date was a moving one - from 1852 to 1856. Emmy had written in one of my books that F.W.'s dad's name was Mark BONNER and his mother was Ann PRESS and that they came to this country in the late 1840's with one son and another boy. I am presuming that the second boy was a nephew of either Mark or Ann. I couldn't find them on the 1850 census, so I a presuming that the arrival date is probably after 1850. To make this long story short, I finally found them!!!!! On the 1860 census for the city of Newark, Licking Co., Ohio is listed: Lester BONER age 40, born in England; Mrs. Ann BONER, age 46, born in England; Stephen BONER, age 14, born in England; Frank BONER, age 14, born in England; and Fredrick BONER, age 6, born in Ohio. Lester BONER's occupation is that of Lime Burner. Next I went to the 1870 census to see if I could find them again. It took awhile, but find them I did - living in Sumner, Webster Co., Iowa! This time it is Lester BOUNER, age 52, born in England; Ann BOURNER, age 57, born in England, and Fred, age 16, born in Ohio. Notice that Lester gained an extra 2 years in the ten years between censuses, and Ann gained one; Fred, however, only gained the 10 years he should have. This time Lester's occupation is listed as miller, something that my dad was pretty sure would be the case. But Stephen and Frank aren't with them or anywhere nearby. Does anyone on the list know what happened to Stephen and Frank BONER? Though they aren't my direct line, I would like to know about them and their families. Did they remain in Ohio? I couldn't find them. Did they fight and die in the Civil War? I couldn't find them listed there either - though I will need to go to NARA to search the list myself. Given the number of ways I have found the BONNER named spelled - Boner, Bouner, Bowner, etc. - I could be missing them on census indexes. Step 3 - the 1880 census. This took longer because I could no longer find Lester or Ann, but I did find Fred BONNER as a boarder in a home in Quincy, Adams Co., IL. He is working as a miller. His place of birth is listed as England. This time he has lost 4 years in the ten year span and is listed as 22 years old. I am presuming that his landlady or landlord gave the census taker the information which would account for the errors. There is no 1890 census, but in the 1900 census in the city of Quincy, Adams Co., IL, I found F.W. BOWNER, age 43, b. Sep 1856 in Ohio; Ida BOWNER, age 35, b. Sep 1864 in Missouri; and Elmer, age 8, b. May 1892 in Missouri. Along with the three BOWNERS is Sadie STEGEMEIR, age 13, b. Oct 1886 in Illinois. Sadie is listed as a domestic. F.W. BOWNER's occupation is Brewer and a traveling salesman. This again agrees with what dad remembers being told as a kid. In 1910, in Quincy, Adams Co., is Fredrick W. BONNER, 54 years old, b. in Ohio with wife Mary E. age 34, b. in IL [wife Ida died in 1901]; son Elmer J., age 17, b. IL; and sister-in-law Gertrude ORR, age 29, b. in IL. F.W.'s occupation is Manager of a Beer Depot; Elmer is an apprentice pharmisist, and Gertrude ORR is an accountant for a wholesale drug company. I also found Elmer J. BONNER listed as a boarder enumerated with Amelia MINER, a housewife living on E. 5th Street in Los Angeles. BONNER was counted twice as he had signed up to live with several other students in Los Angeles while he attended USC even though he was still living with his Dad and stepmother in IL. Thought you would like to know where F.W. BONNER was born and when. A big puzzle has been solved - something that I have worked to find (on and off) for 10 years now. Pretty nifty, huh? =================== Thank you for reading through this letter again. If anyone has any information or advise, I would be extremely grateful. Judy Bonner Martin

I just joined the List and would like to post my research interests. I am hoping to make contact with living descendants of Col. W.E. Bonner and wife Louisa Ethel Webb-Bonner. Louisa was a younger sister of my Grandfather James Martin Webb. To my understanding, W. E and Louisa came to Welch, OK from St. Paul, KS on 19 Nov. 1919. W.E. was an auctioneer and owned an airdome theater where films were shown. Also to my understanding the couple had 8 children: Albert Elmer, Nellie, Daisy, Lucy, Ernest, Ernestine, Irma and Dempsey. W.E. died in Welch, OK on 18 Dec 1941 and Louisa died in Welch, OK. on 8 Sept 1969. I visited the cemetery in which they are buried in August 2000. I have no further information on W.E. Bonner: birth date and place, parents, siblings, etc. I understand that W.E and Louisa had a large number of grandchildren. It is my hope that one of their descendants are researching this particular line. I would enjoy sharing Webb information with you. Regards, Bill Webb

Love ya, Judy P.S. There is a fabulous pencil drawing by James Whistler called "The Lime Burner" done in 1859 that is supposedly hanging in the Montclair Art Museum in New Jersey. I am going to call their gift shop and see if they have a print of the drawing for sale as I would love to have it. I am going to see if I can get a larger copy of the painting of the Hansa, too.

Elizabeth Bonner Rye posted the following on the Internet Oct 23, 1998 from: Town- Bastrop State- Texas Research interest- Bonner and Kinney. My paternal grandparents were from Carroll county and then went to polk county Arkansas. Grandfather was Robert Lee Bonner born 5/15/1871, his wife Sarah Jane Kinney born 9/23/1872. I don't know either of their parents names, but know that one set of grandparents probably the Kinneys live in Bremen. Bonners were from same area. Grandfather maybe had 5 sisters, one named Georgia. There is a relative George Bonner who died about 1921 buried at Bonner Cemetary in Roopville. I believe my line is from one of Zadock Bonner's sons, but so far I haven't been able to figure out which one. Any help or information would be appreciated. If you are still researching the Bonners please get in touch. I think I have all the information you need. Kenny Shackleford

Can anyone offer any help of the following family? If you can, please get in touch with me. I would like to know more about this family. Thanks, Kenny Shackleford Robert Emmett Bonner, son of Robert Lee Bonner and Sarah Jane Kinney, was born in Carroll County, Georgia during August 1984. He is listed at age 5 in the 1900 Federal Census for Polk County, Arkansas and age 15 in the 1910 Federal Census for Polk County, Arkansas. Robert married Margaret M., maiden name unknown, estimated before 1920. She was born in Ireland about 1897. Robert Emmett and Margaret Bonner listed in the 1920 Federal Census for Newport County, Rhode Island living at Fort Greble on Dutch Island. Robert is listed as 24 years of age, born in Georgia and Margaret M. is listed at age 23, born in Ireland. There are not any children listed in the household. Fort Greble was a Coast Guard Battery during the Spanish American War and later became an Army fortification during World War I. Reduced to nothing more than a military rifle range during World War II the fort close during 1947. The fact that Robert is listed living there would indicate that he was in service at that time. It is very likely that he met Margaret while serving in the military and may have married on Dutch Island. The dates and locations of their deaths are unknown. Four children are known to have been born to this union. All that is known of them is as follows: Robert Emmett Bonner, Jr., born September 14, 1920 in Rhode Island and died August 13, 1999 in West Greenwich, Kent County, Rhode Island; Martin Lee Bonner, born September 02, 1923 in Rhode Island and died March 19, 1999 in Wakefield, Washington County, Rhode Island; Margaret Myrtle Bonner, born after 1923; and Shirley Bonner, born before 1930.
