    Subject: Re: [BONHAM] Re: Mary Bonham

    I'm descended from Malachiah, son of Hezekiah, and his controversial
    "cannot be proved" wife, Jemimah Harker (Harper, Harken?), and Malachiah's son, Absalom and his second wife that everybody had wrong until I proved otherwise a few years ago...Rebecca Cox . Absalom's first wife was a cousin of his mother and was named either Deborah or Jemimah or Deborah Jemimah Harker (Harper, Harken?). What a pain.

    Absalom married Rebecca (Morris) Cox after 1765. Rebecca (daughter of John Cox and Rebecca Morris) was born about 1739; died after 1771. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
