FROM OUR ARCHIVES
Lineage of Rebecca (Bonum) Eskridge- taken from information provided by Coz. Floyd Wickenkamp
Rebecca Bonum, first wife of George Eskridge, was the mother of all but one (Elizabeth) of George's children. She was the daughter of Samuel Bonum and Margaret Philpott.
There is some question as to exactly when Samuel Bonum arrived in Virginia. Three early references to a Samuel Bonham in records of Northumberland County probably referred to the same man we know as Samuel Bonum since the name Bonham disappears after 1660 and from there on there are numerous references made in the records to Samuel Bonum.
Samuel Bonham was the recipient of f Virginia land patent in 1633, but the precise location of the property has not been determined.
Samuel Bonham is listed as a witness in a law suit in Northumberland County 22 Aug 1655. (Record Book 14, p. 56)
Samuel Bonham is again mentioned in a a law suit 14 Nov 1660 when he took William Thomas to court for failure to pay his srent. (Nthumblnd Co. Order Book 2, p 133)
Samuel owned at least 3 tracts of land in Westmorelandd county. David W. Eaton in Historical Atlas of Westmoreland county, Virginia mentions 99 acres patented 13 October 16665 on Lynch's Poing; 288 acres acquired from Mrs. Joane Philpott, mother of his wife Margaret, located on "the south side of Bonum's Creek" across the creek from Pecatone and undetermined acrreage in what is now Colonial Beach. according to Nugent's Cavaliers and Pioneers, vol II, he also patented 400 acres in Lancaster County "on the freshes of the Rappahannock River 14 miles above Nansemond town", 29 Oct. 1669.
Eaton states in his book (op cit) "Samuel Bonum is said to have come from Kinsale, Ireland.. It is known that he named the first tract of land he patented "Kinsal" in Westmoreland County." ...Whether Samuel was descended from English or Irish forebrears has not been determined; Bonum is not a common name in Ireland but is frequently seen in Essex, England records. no record of his birth has been found in either england or Ireland, however.

cloths come off and got upon this examinent by force and
ravished her and she cried out twice as loud as she could
and told him that what lay would aford he then would not
spare him, immediately after the said the said Mr. Wright
went into the weeds, Mr. Willsford came presently after this
and asked this examinent if she were alone Mr. Wright
hearing Mr. Willsford speak made answer and came out of
the weeds and they both went away together presently after
came Mr. Clay, Mr. Horsley and James Aston with wine
and asked this examinent to drink but she answered them
not but one took her by one hand and another by the other
hand and drank a health to him and lay with her last, but she
this examinent refused to drink and answered as-not had
