Note the spelling. with Martha, James and Archibald. I thought this may be my family as I dont tie into BONHAM. Now you write the name as BOhnam--a little differently. It is a census problem. Also Monroe was often called the "Switzerland of Ohio" because it was settled by Swiz immigrants which came down a flatboat from PA. I have seen my line as BOWham. I'm looking for Peter Boham b. 1788 in Maryland. Just trying other spellings. Thanks. Hope this clears it up.
