June, Nice to hear from you. David Bonner is in the 1850 census of Highland County, Ohio, Greenfield, page 137. He's not in Ancestry.com's index. He's also mentioned on p. 417-420 of the 1880 History of Highland and Ross Counties, by Williams, where it says he moved from Chillicothe to Greenfield about 1815 and set up a wool-carding mill. It also says he "was a very peculiar man and there was much said against him," and that he was in the habit of having people arrested for travelling on the Sabbath. There were apparently numerous siblings of David in Chillicothe. Yesterday I visited the Ross County Genealogical Society and I noticed a card in their family files listing a large Bonner family. I didn't copy it, because I'm more interested in his descendants than in his ancestors. My primary interest is the Johnsons. Nelly Johnson is mentioned as marrying a Mr. Bonner in an old family document, the reminiscences of my g g grandmother Agnes Carson Johnson. The Ross County will of James Taylor confirms that David and Nellie were married and furnishes the names of two of their children. Nellie Johnson had three older brothers, Nathaniel (my ancestor), James, and Henry. I do not know their parents' names, but they came to America from Ireland in about 1775. Nellie was born in PA after her father's death. So that's about everything I know. I hope this matches with your David.

Hello Steve: I would be interested to hear from you regarding your posting for David Bonner in Ohio. I have a David Banner I am looking for and am beginning to think there was a name change down the road as I find nothing but dead ends. Do you have info on his wife Nellie Johnson? Their parents? Did you find them in the census...if so, what year?? Thanks ever so much.......June

Hello Bonner list members, I am interested in David BONNER who died 1853. He lived in Greenfield, Ohio, at the time of his death and earlier in Chillicothe, Ohio. His wife was Nellie JOHNSON a sister of Nathaniel, James, and Henry JOHNSON of Chillicothe.

Need a bit of help; George Washington Bonner was the ninth child born to the union of Jordan Bonner and Mary Adams. He was born February 18, 1825. Though not verified it is likely that he was born in Washington County, Alabama. He married Mary J. McGill before 1846 either in Washington or Choctaw County, Alabama. There is a confusing question in regard to Mary. According to the 1860 Choctaw County, Alabama Census she is recorded as being born in Alabama and at the age of thirty. Her oldest child George Jr., was born during 1848 when she was 18. In the 1850 Census for Choctaw County, there is a Mary McGill, age 13, born in Alabama that was enumerated with George W. Bonner. Who was this Mary? George and his family lived in the Beat 7 Section of Choctaw County, Alabama where he worked as a merchant, caring for a general store on the Melvin to Toxey Road. He and Mary had at least five children who were all born before the 1860 Census was taken in their location. After the 1860 Census George and Mary disappear. When or where they died is unknown but there is a good chance they continued their lives in South Alabama. Many of their children are buried at the Brightwater Cemetery in Choctaw County. Any help would be appreciated and I would surely like to communicate with any descendants of this family. Thanks, Kendrick Shackleford

Hi Barbara, I just want to give an explanation about why DNA projects (including the BONNER project) often require only males. The simple reason is that the test is based on the Y-chromosome. Since females have no Y-chromosome, it is not even theoretically possible to test them. So for those BONNER females to have their DNA sampled, she will need to find a willing BONNER brother, or some other BONNER-surnamed male relative to represent her by proxy. But this is not to say that females can NOT be DNA tested for genealogical and other purposes. They can, in fact be tested - similar to the way a man inherits the Y-chromosome from his father, a woman (and men, too) inherits her mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from her mother. So why are the mtDNA projects less prevalent than the Y-chromosome tests? I think there are principally two reasons: 1. Since the surname will change every generation in the case of mother-daughter pairs, it makes recruiting much harder. After all, to fish for samples of BONNER Y-chromosome, all I have to do is open a phonebook and call every BONNER in there with a male sounding name, etc. For the mtDNA tests, it requires actual research to see which various lines may descend from the same mom's mom's mom's mom's (etc.) mom. 2. Plain old bias. There are plenty of uses for mtDNA testing, and I, for one, have had mine tested. And in a way, mtDNA testing could elucidate the male line of things, provided you had reasonable assurance of only one wife for a particular man. That is to say, if you can prove descent from some man's wife (through mtDNA), then that is tantamount to proving descent from the man directly. Personally, I think the mtDNA tests are terribly under-utilized. But then again, so are they all.

Does any one have a John Hamilton Bonner on their tree? He was b 1837 Bedford Co Pa( who were his parents?) He joined the Potomac Home Brigade in Md.(Did he live there?) I was sent a hard to read paper from Evangelical Lutheran Church Franklin Co, Waynesboro Pa. He m Rebecca Garlinger Sept 26 1861 ( His name is listed Boner) It said his parents were John Everett Bonner and Angelina Bonner but they were m 1852 in York Pa. and my John H was 5 yrs old so his mother must have died and his father re-married. Does anyone know? Correction Angelina Miller. I cant find anything on him but he and Rebecca were div. and he came to Huntington Indiana and m Susannah Kimmell. He died in 1878 and is b at Mt.

While using the Google.com search engine I came across a family tree named Henry Banner Family of NC. The person has put a tremendous amount of source records on the site. She has records for Banner and Bonner. Since I only recently started my search for my Bonner's I don't even want to try to answer any questions. At this time I am going through wills, will abstracts, and census records. If interested in seeing the family tree I wrote about above go to Google.com and type in with parentheses "Henry Banner" "NC" or you can try this address. I always have trouble with these. <A HREF="http://juliemorrison.com/gen/banner/rr01/rr01_002.htm"> http://juliemorrison.com/gen/banner/rr01/rr01_002.htm</A>. Denise

Hello fellow Bonner's, I am one of the two Bonner's in the "A" branch of the Bonner DNA Project. My cousin, Al Bonner and I had the DNA test results returned to us in October 2001. The DNA test was the missing "evidence" that we needed to tie our families together. We can trace our line back to James Bonner, born 1818 - 1820 in County Donegal, Ireland. [See RootsWeb] http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=nrbonner&id=I0040 I've done a lot of research on Bonner's-- mostly the Irish that settled into Philadelphia. I've got quite a few Philadelphia Bonner's identified but I've never looked into what I call the "Southern Branch" of the Bonner's. My branch (and most of the Philadelphia branches-- there are many) were Irish Catholics. I believe that many of the Southern Bonner's were either Scotch-Irish or English. They may be connected somehow, but I have no idea how--or where. This is where DNA testing can be very valuable in "mapping" out branches to see where they came from and how they may have mixed. In Philadelphia the "early" arrivals to that city whom carried the Bonner surname were mostly German. They arrived in the 1700's and early 1800's. I have also seen references to the French surname Bonaire becoming BONNER in English speaking countries. From about 1850 and afterwards, there was a great deal of BONNER families that emigrated from Ireland to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the 1850 city directory there were 10 Bonner's (including the Boner/Banner variants) listed. In the 1860 city directory the number of Bonner's jump to 49. In 1890 the number of Bonner's is 107. So there was massive immigration of Bonner to Philadelphia during that time period. The Bonner's that came from Ireland were almost exclusively from County Donegal. According to the number of "Boner" (the predominate spelling in 19th century Ireland) households listed in the Primary Valuation property survey of 1848-1864, there were: 186 in Donegal, 13 in Antrim, 6 in Derry, 2 in Tyrone, 1 each in Down and Belfast city. Continuing with the Irish surname, the name BONER was the English version of the Irish surname, "Ua Chnámhsighe". The Irish name was written by the English often as Crampsey or Cramsie. The English officials sometimes took the form of the word, "cnámh" a bone, and recorded the name as Bonner with its variants of Boner, Bonnar and Bonar. Anyway, that's a very short history lesson of the Irish branch of the Bonner's. Best Regards, Neil Bonner Herndon, Virginia

Hi Listers, I am still trying to get a grip on the family of Henry Bonner, who married Anne "Nancy" Cate. He is variously given years of birth and death of either 1724-1822 or 1731-1829. For claimed children, I have: 1. Richard Bonner, born ABT. 1754, m. Frances "Frankey" Mitchell 2. Ann "Nancy" Bonner, born ABT. 1776, m. Thomas Parham 3. Robert Bonner, born ABT. 1777, m. Elizabeth Heath 4. James Bonner, born ABT. 1781, m. Frances Haynes 5. Mildred Bonner, born ABT. 1789, m. Benjamin Weatherby I note that Richard Bonner is born some 20 years prior to his siblings. This is a bit troubling to me. I appreciate any information people can provide to me about these folks :) Cheers, Gregg

Hello Kenny,   According to my husband's DNA testing, his Bonner line connects somewhere above Thomas Bonner b. 1744 who married Margaret Jones.  Do you have any info on the children of Henry Bonner b. ca1679 who married Unknown and Deborah Whedbee?  We are especially interest in their son Thomas.   Thanks for any help, Hazel Bonner <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A> Hazel, Hope you see this. For some reason I can't get my email to return to you. Do you have another address? Kenny Shackleford

Hi Folks, I have a couple of questions that I would like to pose to the list. I am concerned that I am making BONNER lines merge because of the DNA results (and what I see at WorldConnect) - but the DNA results can only be interpreted conclusively in light of solid paper genealogy. So I want to break out of this "circular reasoning" and try to figure out what is really known more or less for certain. So here are my questions: 1. If I look at WorldConnect for a Benjamin Bonner, born within one year of 1751, I get 10 hits. They all seem to be the same person. But the birth dates are different. They are predominantly either "02 APR" or "04 FEB". This appears to be the ambiguous pair of dates which can both be represented by "2/4" (similar to "8/11" being able to represent both 08 NOV and 11 AUG). I also note that the year is given as "1750", "1751/1752", or "1752". This seems to be the product of various representations of the 'double-dated' 04 FEB 1751/52. So it would seem that ALL the various dates can stem from an original 04 FEB 1751/52 date (e.g., the year 1751 OR 1752 can be extracted from 1751/52, and an entry into software program of 04 FEB 1751 will lead to "04 FEB 1750/51", from which '1750' can be extracted). So my first question is - where does this date come from? Is it a family Bible, tombstone, pension application, or what? I also note that WorldConnect shows him married to Frances Dempsey or else Mary Jennett, and it would seem that these are different Benjamin BONNERs. If it is the case that there are two of them, then what is the birthdate of the one that is NOT born 04 FEB 1751/52? And since one of them seems to be the son of Thomas Bonner and Sarah Peyton, then who is thought to be the parents of the other one? 2. Another line is that of Jordan BONNER (ABT. 1768 - 08 MAY 1841). His father is said to be Thomas Bonner (ABT. 1744 - 30 DEC 1804). For the moment, I don't really have any difficulty with that. Thomas BONNER is said to be the son of Henry Bonner and Sarah Luten. Again, I don't have difficulty believing Henry and Sarah had a son named Thomas. My question is this - how is it know that Thomas BONNER, son of Henry Bonner, is the same person as Thomas BONNER, the father of Jordan BONNER? Was Thomas Bonner found to have deeded property described in the will of Henry BONNER? The point is that these two lines have the same DNA, and I am trying to figure out why. The common link between the two lines seems must have occured at least early enough for the common ancestor to have had a grandson born 1771. Since it seems like Bryant BONNER was the administrator of the estate of Dempsey Bonner, then maybe this line is from the BONNER line which married Abigail Bryant. Is it for some reason impossible for Thomas BONNER, the father of Jordan BONNER to have descended from the Thomas BONNER who married Abigail Bryant? I had previously described a link for both lines (Jordan and Dempsey) to Henry Bonner, but upon further investigation, it seems to me that the evidence is very weak, or even contradicted, and that the common ancestor could be Thomas BONNER, b. 1690, or most any BONNER alive early enough. I think they must have a findable American common ancestor. I cannot say who it is, except to say who it canNOT be. And of course, I would like help with all the spouses as well. Cheers, Gregg

Josiah Bonner, b. 1787, possible Jackson County, GA., d. 1851 LA, married Nancy Hubert, 1810 Clarke County, GA., b. 1791, Jackson County, GA. She was a daughter of Gabriel Hubert and Elizabeth Bonner. Does anyone know of this Elizabeth Bonner? James Nevel Hubert, brother of Nancy, married Anne Bonner. Does anyone know of this Anne Bonner? Trying to tie the knots. HELP!!! Kenny Shackleford

Hi, my Bonners came from Ireland, Daniel Bonner was born there, he was in Quebec at least by 1825-1827 because he married Jane McClintock ( McClinton ) in Rigard Quebec, hehad several children from this marriage, Henry, Charles, Samual, Robert, and another one that slips my mind right now, in 1841 Daniel married Margaret McKenzie, there children were, Catherine, Arthur, Hugh, Jane, Maggie, Daniel, Arthur took his mother Margaret McKenzie, Bonner with him to Michigan to Fife Lake in Grand Travers county after Daniel Bonner died. They say the land that Daniel Bonner owned was called Bonner Hill but can't find any info on that., Hugh Bonner went there 1st, he was in the 1881 census for Fife Lake. Sue

Hi everybody,Does anybody out there trace their ancestory back to Donegal Ireland particularly The Northwest.Michael J Bonner

My line from me back is: Zeddie Shackleford, Young Shackelford, Jerusha Bonner, John Thomas Bonner, Zadock Bonner, Thomas Bonner from Chowan County, NC, Henry Bonner, IV, Henry Bonner, III, Henry Bonner, Jr., and I would assume Henry Bonner, Sr. Kendrick Shackleford

Hi Kenny, et al., People represent their lines in various ways, and I know some people have Henry Bonner of Chowan to be in a very long line of Henry BONNERs. Therefore, I cannot say who Henry Bonner, III might be. However, this is my present understanding; we have tested two lines of Henry Bonner (d. 1738), one from his son Thomas, and one from his son Henry (whom I would call Henry Bonner, Jr.). But from son Henry (i.e., Jr.) we did not test _his_ son Henry (whom I would call Henry Bonner, III), but rather his (i.e., Jr.'s) line through his son Thomas (who married Margaret Jones). So from the above, I would say no, we have not tested the line of Henry Bonner, III. However, if my understanding of the descent of our BONNER DNA type "C" participants is correct (and it may *not* be), then Henry Bonner, III could not be very different from type "C" itself. Of course I am always willing to test that hypothesis. Do you know any male BONNERs who might fit that bill? Also, just to be sure, when I said "Albemarle" in my last e-mail message, I meant the parish in Virginia, not the county in North Carolina.
