John's birth date is not known. The year of his birth is estimated as 1664 in Robert Charles Anderson, George F. Sanborn, Jr. and Melinde Lutz Sanborn, "The Great Migration: Immigrants To New England 1634-1635, Vol. I, A-B" (Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1999). It is likely that he was born in Duxbury. John was not the son of Dorcas (Sampson) Bonney - he was her brother-in-law, younger brother to Thomas, and son of immigrant Thomas Bonney and wife Mary (___). Dale H.
