Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/JoDaviess/737 Surname: Bonson, Waller, Spensley ------------------------- I think your Margaret was a brother to Richard. I'll have to find proof of his relationship to Mrs. Samuel Hughlett and Mrs. Richard Spensley. I'm questioning the name "Robert" has a survivor in Margaret's obit. Robert was the father. David Morris visited this area returning to England to write a book "The Dalesmen of the Mississippi River" published by William Sessions Limited of York, England in 1989. I think I've seen it for sale in the used book stores on the internet. He says that 10 Bonsons came to this country with the Waller family. The Bonsons were from Gunnerside in the Swaledale region of Yorkshire.
