Hi George, You gave an intriguing excerpt of the History of Grant Co, WI, bio of Francis H. Bonham: "... On Dec. 23, 1830, he was married by Rev. Mr. Watters in Pike Co., Mo., to Mary Ann, daughter of William and Lucy (Oglesby) Nevel of Shelby Co., Ky., where she was born May 24, 1812; .." Did the bio give any indications why Francis Bonham and Mary Ann Nevel settled in Grant Co, such as other relatives in the area? Reason I ask is that my line includes 2 brothers Alexander M. Neavill (b. 1811somewhere in KY) and John D. Neavill (b. 1807 somewhere in TN) who settled in the Grant Co WI area, Both arrived in the Galena Jo Daviess Co area of IL about 1827 and Alexander moved on to Potosi, Grant Co, WI about 1840. Still haven't found their parents, so your info on William and Lucy was very interesting. By the1880 census, Alexander's parents were both born in VA. Wayne Olsen Bonney Lake, WA
