263Notes for William (Spouse 1)
263Oscar Doane Lambert's book, HISTORY OF THE LAMBERT FAMILY With Information on the Bonner, Bright, Carr, and Yokum Families, Publishers Whitney & White, Morgantown, West Virginia, 1958. Page 221, middle of page, WILLIAM BONNER OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTY, VIRGINIA
"The William Bonner who concerns us most came into Hampshire County in 1773, On August 3 of that year he acquired from Lord Fairfax lot No. 87 of his South Branch Manor. This land lay along the South Branch River, south of where Petersburg is now located, and when Hardy County was formed in 1786 it became a part of the new county."
"The most reliable evidence leads one to conclude that William Bonner was an immigrant from north Ireland and came into the valley with the Scotch-Irish migration.*
(((Footnote *, "James William Lambert whose mother was a grandaughter of William Bonner, Sr., gave this version of his ancestors origin. It has much reliability as the statement was given by his mother."
263This note pertains to William Bonner (Senior)
Lambert book-page 222 - "In the old records of Berkeley and Hardy counties, West Virginia, one occasionally finds references to William Bonner. In the census of 1782 he was listed as being the head of a family of six. The same was recorded in 1784.28 Two years later the old files relate that there was only one titheable (payment of tax) in the family above 25 years of age. At that time William Bonner owned four horses,and six cattle. He paid a tax of twelve cents.During that time he was the only Bonner listed in Hampshire County." 28 (footnote-"First Census of the U.S.,Hampshire Co.,Virginia.") ----- "The records reveal That William and Elizabeth Bonner had four children among whom were three sons, John, Solomon, and William, Jr. The writer after an extensive search has failed to uncover the name of the fourth child."
263Note:
Page 222, "On February 25, 1797, William Bonner and Elizabeth, his wife, granted to Peter House twenty-seven and one-half acres, part of lot 87, granted by lease from Lord Fairfax to William Bonner, August 3, 1773. Following this sale they conveyed to Peter Buffinberger seventy-five and one-half acres, part of the same lot, for one thousand pounds. In the process of completing the title of conveyance, Elizabeth Bonner was not able to "conveniently travel to court" of Hardy County. Therefore Job Welton, Richard Seymour, George Harness, and William Cunningham, justices of the Hardy County Court, appointed two of their members, - Job Welton and Richard Seymour, to go to the home of William and Elizabeth Bonner to take an acknowledgement of the deed. It was done and so ordered." #29
Footnote #29, Land Records of Hardy County, IV, 216.
"The records reveal that William and Elizabeth Bonner had four children among whom were three sons, John, Solomon, and William, Jr. The writer after an extensive search, has failed to uncover the name of the other child. Later in life William Bonner, Sr., came to Drt Fork, Randolph County, where he spent his last year with his son, William. John Bonner came to Randolph County, married and reared a family there.
Solomon married Elizabeth Lancisco.*"
Footnote *, "* Henry and John Fredrick Lancisco came from the German Palatinate, to Philadelphia, September 15, 1730."
"They had four children, Henry, Enoch, Susanna, and Clovy. Solomon, with his son Enoch, moved from Hardy County, Virginia, to Ross County, Ohio. Henry and his wife, Polly, went to Delaware County, Ohio, where they bought land and prospered. Susanna married Amos Orrahood. They moved from Hardy County, Virginia to Union County, Ohio; and Clovy married William Cooper. They later transferred to Fayette County, Ohio. It appears that John left the South Branch and took up his residence in Randolph County, West Virginia, where he married.
The records reveal that William Bonner, Jr. was born in 1776 in Hampshire County, 30 and died December 13, 1857, in Blackfork District, Tucker County."
Footnote 30,"30. Hardy County was not formed till 1786."
"After rearing his family in Hardy County he transferred his residence to the Cheat River Valley, and built a mill, where the town of Parsons now stands. Here he resided till burdened with old age when he moved to the "Surveys", along the Dry Fork, Tucker County. At his home, there he passed away in his eighty first year. His grandson, Seymour Bonner, with whom the author talked had a vivid memory of his grandfather. He described him as being stocky in stature, reserved, voice low and positive, and opinions well considered and fundemental.
William Bonner married Jamima Carr (Karr), daughter of John Carr.31"
