Craig Snyder:

i saw your page on Arnold Taylor "Bonny" Bonnifield b. 14 Jul 1832.  You have him married to Elizabeth Corrick on 6 Sep 1864.

The marriage record at WV Vital Research Records (online image)
shows Elizabeth A. Corrick 17 d/o Wm & ? Corrick [should be Deborah Marteney but is not clear] to Arnold Thos. Bonnifield d/o Willam and Nancy Bonnifield.  I'm not sure it this is the same Arnold Bonnifield and there are errors in the record or this is another Arnold Bonnifield who married Elizabeth and a separate one who married the other two you list as wives.


I did have in my notes: m(2) 1887 Mrs. Rebecca A. Parsons (Rummell) Bonnifield, by whom he had Joseph Elliott, Lizzie May, Emma.  m(3) Cordelia Thomasson.
but of course that assumes this is one and the same Arnold marrying all three women.  

I do know that the marriage date you have for Elizabeth Corrick is in error as Elizabeth Ann died 29 Apr 1860 in California, bur. Redbanks, Fresno Co., CA.    I have Arnold dying in Weatherford, Parker Co., TX.  

I haven't confirmed any dates other than the marriage of Arnold and Elizabeth.  

Here are a few sources in my notes:
Rand. Co. Deed Bk 20: 156 (1854) Wm Corrick et. al. to Arnold T. Bonnifield 114 A Haddix Creek;

Bk 20: 304 (1853) Arnold T. Bonnifield to Daniel M. Corrick 114A Haddix Creek [Corrick index only].  Not in Tucker Co., WV, in 1860.

CENSUS:  1870 Township No. 2, Fresno Co., CA.  1880 4th Judicial Twp., Fresno Co., CA.
History of Fresno County pp. 979-980 on Mrs. Rebecca A. Parsons (Rummell) Bonnifield.


Unfortunately none of the records shows the middle name beyond the marriage record.  With the name of Elizabeth's mother in error, it is conceivable that his parents were not right either.  

Perhaps the 1864 date of marriage you have is for his marriage to Rebecca.
