Notes:

Zedekiah Bonham was born February 24, 1762 in Kingwood, Hunterdon, NJ, and died April 22, 1835 in Wayne Co., PA (Source: War of 1812 Pension Records.).0op----------------6tyuhyyyting the Revolutionary War, he enlisted June 1778 as a private, fought in the battle of Monmouth, and in skirmishes at Trimbly's Point and Morse's Mills. This battle was declared a "draw" between the English and American troups. He also, in 1792, served in Hunterdon Militia. Three years before his death, he was granted a pension for his service. From Old COCHRAN genealogy written early 1900's:
 "After the close of the Rev. War, Zedekiah Bonham settled on a farm in the Jerseys. He was married to Prudence Heath, a woman of Dutch descent. From here they started in a covered wagon for Otsego, NY, but winter was coming on, and they were compelled on account of snowdrifts, to stop at Mt. Pleasant, PA. Here he purchased a farm, where a daughter of Harriette Houser now resides, and erected a grist mill on the Youghiogheny River. When the War of 1812 broke out, he enlisted and was wounded in a limb. On returning home, he became a weaver of coverlids and of woolen cloth." His line of descendents is traced in this old unpublished genealogy.

Notes for Prudence Heath:
Prudence and her daughter Mercy (age 51yrs.) are found on the 1850 Mt. Pleasant, Wayne Co., PA census, page 17, house 80-86. She filed application for bounty land in Wayne Co., PA, Dec 4, 1856.      

Zedekiah married Prudence Heath on 30 Aug 1780 in Hunterdon Co, New Jersey. Prudence (daughter of Andrew Heath and Magdalene (..) Heath, Mrs) was born about 1768 in Hunterdon Co, New Jersey; died on 29 May 1858 in Mt.Pleasant, Wayne Co, Pennsylvania. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

On May 4th, 1809 she inherited 30 pounds in the will of Uriah Bonham, her brother-in-law (both her sister's husband and her husband's brother), in whose will it was stated: To each of the daughters of Andrew Heath (late of Amwell, dec'd), he ve 30 pounds. These girls were Mary Wilson, Elizabeth Hall, Sarah Dills, and Prudence Bonham. This money, he said, was procured out of their father's estate for their use when their mother had done with it.

Prudence and her daughter Mercy (age 51yrs.) are found on the Mt. Pleasant, Wayne Co., PA 1850 census, page 17, house 80-86. She filed application for bounty land in Wayne Co., PA, Dec 4, 1856.

Name:
We now have DNA evidence that Malakiah, Amariah and Uriah Bonham share a common ancestor and considering the albeit scanty paper trails we have, that they were brothers. So 3 of the -iahs could have been brothers according to DNA evidence.

What do the results we have to date mean? They show that THESE -iah descendants (of Malakiah, Amariah and Uriah) DID have a common ancestor (who could have been their father, Hezekiah, as speculated) within the time frame our scant paper documentation has indicated.
To "prove" Hezekiah Bonham as the common ancestor, we need a descendant of Samuel Bonham (son by Hezekiah´s first marriage) to participate.

-----
We are extremely close to showing up the Mayflower Association which has denied our "-iah" ancestry, thanks to the efforts of Brownie Mackie for opening a line as to potential approval. We just need these extra tests to be able to prove our case. I do not personally give a hoot about the Mayflower Society, as neither does Brownie, nor Catherine Cooper who has also been working on this project for so many years, but we would like to help those who do and I at least, would like to prove them wrong as to denying people whose lineage is from Hezekiah´s 2nd wife, whoever she was. Whoever SHE was does not matter in this case as it was Hezekiah Sr who was the Mayflower descendant via his Mother, Hannah Fuller.

Research Notes:
(dna) designation means he has been matched to the others marked (dna) as brothers. As of 2009, matches are Amariah, Nehemiah, Malakiah and Uriah.

Uriah married Anchor Fox on 5 Nov 1751 in Hunterdon Co, New Jersey. Anchor (daughter of George Fox, the Elder - Immigrant and Mary Maybury) was born in 1729 in New Jersey; died on 30 Aug 1780 in Piscataway, Middlesex Co, New Jersey. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In 1763, and how much earlier I know not, a Uriah Bonham of Piscataqua, was in this neighborhood as a school teacher. He married Ancher, daughter of George Fox, the elder. They had 5 children, 2 sons and 3 daughters. (From Traditions of Hunterdon)
http://www.anamericanfamilyhistory.com/Bonham%20Family/BonhamUriah1724.html

Notes:

Andrew was under the age of twenty-five when he inherited land in Delaware Township, from his father. During the Revolution he served as a private. Based, probably on family tradition, James P. Snell in " The History of Hunterdon & Somerset Couties" states that Andrew served in place of his drafted son, Richard, believing him too young to serve. On march with his company to headquarters Andrew was engaged in a fray with some Tories. It being a hot day he drank a quantity of water and buttermilk at a farmhouse and died suddenly a few hours later, leaving a wife, three son and four daughters. He died prior to 21 Jul 1777 when letters of administration were granted at Hopewell. Magdalene later married Uriah Bonham, who together with Daniel Howell conducted the inventory of Andrew's personal estate which was valued at 226.13 pounds. Uriah and Magdaline lived in KingwoodTownship. In his will, dated 24 May 1803, probated 4 May 1809, Uriah left his wife the whole and sole privilege for use of his dwelling house, together with his whole plantation during the time she remained a widow. In addition to the bequests to his children and grand-children, he also left money beguests to Andrew Heath and his four sisters.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Religion: Episcopal clergyman

Notes:

It it believed that he was born during his father's migration from Massachusetts to New Jersey. According to Jack D. Ross, Hezekiah was born in Barnstable Township, Barnstable, Maryland. At the death of his father he was made executor of thill along with his mother, although he was not of legal age. Thus, he surely had the confidence and respect of his father.
He was accepted as a townsman of Piscataway 2 Jan 1687/8 apparently on coming of age. He married in 1690 Mary Dunn, daughter of Hugh Dunn and Elizabeth Drake, one of the immigrant families of Mass. Hugh Dunn mentioned Hezekiah in his will. ry was born 19 Jan 1671 in Piscataway. They had four children: Mary, Samuel, Hannah and Sarah, their births being preserved in the Piscataway records." Family tradition indicates that he was an Episcopal clergyman. He was a farmer by trade.
During the period 1690 to 1699 there were numerous land transfers made by Hezekiah and his wife Mary, including receiving a patent for land at Piscataway in 1695. "Bonham's lot," also "Bonham's creeks," and "Nicholas Bonham's land" are spn of in different conveyances.
On 1 May 1697 Hezekiah Bonham received confirmation of a grant of 182 acres "in right of his late father Hezekiah Bonham, Thomas Ffarnewoorth and Daniel Lippington." Hezekiah Bonham and wife Mary later sold two of these tracts.
On 9 Oct 1697 Hezekiah Bonham of Piscataway and wife Mary sold land in Piscataway part of which was the "remainder of land held by Bonham in the right of Daniel Lippentone"
Hezekiah and wife Mary sold further land in Piscataway to Edward Slater on 27 Oct 1698. (Lippentone and Slater were brother-in-laws).
One Sunday in about 1697 or 1698 Hezekiah, who was credited with being a religious man and one of influence in the church, was found working by the very religious Edmund Dunham, his brother-in-law. Hezekiah's sister Mary had married Edmund Dm in 1681. Mr. Dunham was the first white child born in Piscataway township, and his father, Benjajah Dunham, is said to have settled here years before any other Englishmen arrived. Oliver B. Leonard in writing on "Piscataway Planters" says "Edmund Dunham grew to be an influential member of society, and became a lay preacher, helping to mold the tender consciences and direct the religiously inclined of the pioneer community." At that time Edmund was pastor of the Baptist Church of Piscataway. Because Edmund found Hezekiah working on Sunday he took him to account. To quote Morgan Edwards on the incident:
"Bonham put Dunham to prove that the first day of the week was holy by divine institution. How the debate was carried on is not known; but it is known that the above attack was the thing which set Mr. Dunham to study the subject; and that cing the seventh day of the week was the effect. In a short time after 17 people sided with Mr. Dunham which opened a prospect of having a Sabbatarian church in Piscataway; to prepare for it Mr. Dunham went to Westerly, (RI) and there received ordination at the hands of Rev. William Gibbons; and in 1705 he and his party were formed into a church," the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Piscataway.
Hezekiah was not among the organizers. He had moved to Hunterdon in West Jersey in about 1698 as he appears in no record of any kind in Piscataway after 1698, except the sale of further land in Piscataway to Edward Slater on 27 Oct 1698. (Lintone and Slater were brother-in-laws). Evidently the property was sold after their move since on 18 March 1698/9 he appears in a list of inhabitants of Maidenhead when Gov. Jeremiah Basse and others, as agents, sold 100 acres to the inhabitants of Maidenhead for 5 shillings, for a meeting house, school and burial ground, thus indicating that he had an interest in that section of New Jersey.
(my note: there is no evidence of this 2nd marriage and 15 children)
Mary Dunn died Nov 7, 1699 and he remarried in 1700 in Hunterdon Co. By his second wife he had 15 more children, some thirteen of whom bore names ending in the Biblical "iah". Hence they are called the"iah" BONHAMS. These children were Heze, Jr.; Nehemiah; Zachariah; Zedekiah; Amariah; Temperance; Malachiah; Amaziah; Jeremiah; Ephraim; Josiah; Isaiah; Obadiah; Zephamia; and Uriah.
On 28 Aug 1701 he is mentioned as an abutter in Middlesex Co,; on 26 Aug 1703 he was among those who consented to an agreement between Dr. Daniel Coxe, Esq. and Thomas Revell, on behalf of purchasers of land in Maidenhead and Hopewell Townsh
On 1 Jan 1712/3 he contributed money to organize a new county (in this document he is Hezekiah Bonham, Sr., indicating that a younger Hezekiah, not necessarily his son, was in the town).
On 24 Nov 1722 he witnessed the will of Jonathan Stout of Hopewell Township.
In 1723 he was a judge in Hunterdon Co.
On 6 Nov 1730 his original signature appears with others on an agreement to sell the town lot to the highest bidder.
On 21 April 1732 his bond is mentioned in the codicil to the will of Daniel Howell of Trenton.
On 9 July 1738 his signature appears on the will of Henry Merson, the last known recording of his name. The exact date of his death and burial place are unknown.
____________________
There is some debate as to the identity of his second wife. According to "Mayflower Families through Five Generations," Vol 4, p 37, "Hezekiah Bonham does not appear in the Hunterdon Co. court records but is mentioned in the following document, none of which mention a second wife or any other children." It also states "This claim may have originated in misinterpretation of the will of Samuel Hunt of Maidenhead, Hunterdon Co, dated 15 Jan 1717/8 in which he decreed that his real estate was to be partititioned among Samuel Hunt's heirs by son Samuel, by Hezekiah Bonham, and by John Prince."
According to "The Bonham Family" by Samuel J. Bonham, pg 9, she was Ann Hunt, daughter of Ralph or Samuel Hunt. This theory is derived from the will of Samuel Hunt, New Jersey Archives, Vol. 21, p 248.
According to "Bonham and Related Family Lines" by H. E. Bonham 1996, says on page 229, that Hezekiah's second wife was Mary Bishop, daughter of David & Mary (Alger) Bishop according to the will of David Bishop 07 Jan 1684 where he mentions a Hezekiah Bonham married to his daughter Mary. However, in 1684 Hezekiah, son of Nicholas, was 17 years old and it was four years later that he married Mary Dunn in 1690. There must have been another Hezekiah Bonham; although, according to references, there was no evidence of another Hezekiah Bonham.

Hezekiah* married Ann Hunt, (2nd wife?) in 1700 in Maidenhead, Hunterdon Co, New Jersey. Ann (daughter of Samuel Hunt and Mary Burroughs) was born in 1678 in Maidenhead, Hunterdon Co, New Jersey; died after 1724. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Some say 2nd wife was mary Bishop, daughter of David & Mary (Alger) Bishop, according to the will of David Bishop 7 January 1684 (source: "Bonham & Related Family Lines" by H.E. Bonham 1996, p 229.

Other sources say his Hezekiah's second wife was Ann Hunt, daughter of Ralph or Samuel Hunt, and that they were married in 1699 in Maidenhead, New Jersey.
The children listed are listed as the children of Hezekiah and Ann Hunt.

From Mayflower Families through Five Generations, Vol 4, p 38:
*Note: No evidence found to support Monette's claim that Hezekiah had second wife Ann Hunt. The claim may have originated in misinterpretation of the will of Samuel Hunt of Maidenhead, Hunterdon Co, dated 15 Jan 1717/8 in which he decreed tht his real estate was to be partitioned among Samuel Hunt's heirs by son Samuel, by Hezekiah Bonham, and by John Prince.
Monette lists the following as children of Hezekiah Bonham and his unproven 2nd wife Ann Hunt: Hezekiah, Nehemiah, Zachariah, Zedekiah, Amariah, Temperence, Malachiah, Amaziah, Ephraim, Jeremiah, Josiah, Isaiah, Zephaniah, Uriah & Obadiah.
(The ancestors of Ann Hunt were supplied by Foxlover@aol.com of Salt Lake City.)
