- He was in Hunterdon Co, NJ in 1722. The tax roll contained the names of 138 men subject to taxation and among them was Nehemiah Bonham. the town records of Hopewell for 1729-1730 lists Nehemiah as "Constable." (The Bonham Family)
There is a possibility of another child, Amy Bonham, b: May 18, 1725 in New Jersey, but she is not listed in "The Bonham Family" by Samuel J. Bonham.
