The General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD) accepts Nicholas Bonham as marrying Hannah Fuller, and they had (among others) a son Hezekiah Bonham. However, the GSMD currently does '''not''' accept where Hezekiah had a second wife and family. Considerable evidence (including Y-DNA testing) does support a second family for Hezekiah, but more evidence (hopefully from contemporary sources) is needed to confirm the lineages below.

Biography

The General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD) accepts Nicholas Bonham as marrying Hannah Fuller, and they had (among others) a son Hezekiah Bonham. However, the GSMD currently does not accept where Hezekiah had a second wife and family. Considerable evidence (including Y-DNA testing) does support a second family for Hezekiah, but more evidence (hopefully from contemporary sources) is needed to confirm the lineages below.

First Generation

(Sgt.) Nicholas Bonham poss. son of George Bonham of Plymouth, was likely born in England about 1630-35 and died Piscataway, (East) New Jersey between 20 Feb 1683[/4] and 28 Jul 1684.[1] He married Barnstable 1 Jan 1658/9 Hannah3 Fuller and they had at least nine children:[2] Hannah (1659), Mary (1661), Sarah (1664/5), Elizabeth (c1666), Hezekiah (1667), Nicholas (c1670 likely d.y.), Samuel (1672-1682), Jane (1675/6) and Priscilla (1677).

The family moved from Plymouth Colony to Piscataway in East (now New) Jersey.[3] The family were Baptists[4] and it is likely they moved away from Plymouth Colony due to their religious beliefs.

Second Generation

(Hon.) Hezekiah Bonham is said to have been born 6 May 1667[5] and died Maidenhead (now Lawrence), NJ after Jan 1733/4 (but likely before Jan 1737/8).

Mary Bishop.[6] By his first wife he had four children (Piscataway): Mary (1691), Samuel (1693), Hannah (1695) and Sarah (1697/8). By his second wife he is said to have had: Hezekiah (1701/2), Nehemiah (c1703), Zedekiah (c1705), Jeremiah (c1707), Amariah (c1708), Temperance (1710) and Malachia (1713). Currently, the General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD) does not accept descent from the children of Hezekiah's second marriage.

Third Generation

Samuel Bonham was born Piscataway 6 Feb 1693 and died bef 28 Dec 1743. He married in 1713 Catherine Anderson and they had two children: Samuel (c1714) and Ephraim (c1716). Currently, it is unknown whether there are any surviving patrilineal descendants of Samuel.

Hezekiah Bonham (II) was born about 1701[7] and died about 1753. He married Hopewell 1726 Martha Runyon and they had at least three children: Hezekiah (c1725), Jacob (1726) and Joseph (c1732).

Nehemiah Bonham was born about 1703.[8] and died after Jul 1755.[9] He married twice: first, after 24 Nov 1722[10] Ann Stout and second, about 1740, Elizabeth Martin. By his first wife he is said to have had three children: Anne (b1724), Mercy (c1727) and Elijah (c1738 m Phebe Harlan). By his second wife, he had one more child: Benjamin (c1742 m Phoebe Oney).

Amariah Bonham was born about 1708. He married twice: Piscataway, NJ 1730 Mary Drake and Hunterton, NJ 1735 Eunice King.

Malachia Bonham was born Maidenhead 1713. He married thrice: Maidenhead, NJ 1734 Jemima Harker, Hannah BUCKINGHAM Heath and Mary Fox.

Jeremiah Bonham was born Maidenhead about 1715. He married Esther/Hester Dunn and they had at least Jeremiah (c1736 m Margaret Cook).

Ephraim Bonham was born Maidenhead about 1716 and died Piscataway 22 May 1785. He married Susanna Jones but it is currently unknown whether they had any children.

Josiah Bonham was born Maidenhead about 1717. No further record.

poss. Isaiah Bonham was born Maidenhead about 1718 and died Piscataway 21 Apr 1758. It is unknown whether he ever married or had a family.

Uriah Bonham was born about 1724

Obadiah Bonham was born Maidenhead bout 1725.

  1. Nicholas's will and inventory
  2. Some sources include Elijah (c1665)
  3. It is possible the family may have lived at Long Island (NY) for a short time before finally moving to Piscataway. The births of the children born between c1665-c1672 are not found in records.
  4. and later Seventh Day Baptist
  5. Source for this birth date unknown, but plausible. While stated to have been born at Piscataway, East (now New) Jersey, the family is not known to have lived in Piscataway circa 1672.
  6. There is some doubt about the identity of Hezekiah's second wife, and some genealogists (including the GSMD) question whether Hezekiah even had a second wife. Extensive evidence (including Y-DNA testing) suggest Hezekiah had a second wife and a large number of children (most sons names ending with "iah").
  7. He an younger brother Nehemiah were first taxed at Hopewell in 1722.
  8. First taxed at Hopewell in 1722.
  9. Named with wife in will of father in-law, Benjamin Martin.

DNA Results R1b-BY77791

Previous testing

The Bonham DNA Project Group: BONHAM 1 currently has 25 individuals claiming their Most Distant Known Patrilineal Ancestor (MDKPA) was Nicholas Bonham. These include lines descending from the following sons of (Hon.) Hezekiah Bonham by his second wife: Hezekiah, Nehemiah, Amariah, Malachia, Zachariah and Uriah. Some testers have only done Y12 STR testing while others are at various levels including Y111 STR testing. FTDNA has predicted they all fall under the R1b-M269 Haplogroup. One individual has done some Y-SNP testing and been determined to fall under: R-P312>Z46516>ZZ11>U152>PF6658

NGS/WGS testing

Two known Nicholas Y-DNA descendants have taken the Big Y-700 test and their results indicate they fall into: R-P312>Z46516>ZZ11>U152>PF6658>BY54875>BY56334>BY77791. Further testing of patrilineal descendants would likely discover subclades below this clade.
