Hi Jackie, Thanks very much for the further update on Lydia Bonnell's family. I'd like to show you what I've found. Let me know if you think I'm misinterpreting it when I say it looks to me like Lydia is Isaac Bonnel's daughter. This is from the NJ Archives books of Wills, Vol. 23, p. 47-48. It's a will abstract. "1711-2, Jan.15. Bonnel, Bonnell, Isaac, of Elizabeth Town, Essex Co., planter; will of. Wife Elizabeth. Children - Isaac, Abraham, Jacob, John, William, all under age, Lydia and Sarah. Home farm on the South Branch in Elizabeth Town bounds, partly derived from father Nathanel Bounel, partly bo't of Samuel Bounel and Joseph Bounel, 50 acres on the Middle Branch, a tract of land called New Britain; personal estate. Executors - brothers Joseph and Benjamin Bounel. Witnesses - Jonathan Dickinson, Corneliues Hetfield, Samuel Whitehead. Proved January 29, 1711-2." Lib. 1, p.368. It looks to me like Lydia and Sarah are still his children, but not under age (21, I suppose?). What do you think? Thanks, Lise ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
