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.

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).

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.
