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
