Notes |
- some researchers are showing that this Samuel, son of William and Ann was the same Samuel who married Margaret Philpott. However, that does not seem to be the case. Samuel/Philpott appears to have been born in Ireland; and if Nicholas is, indeed, a grandson of Wm and Ann, by a father Samuel, it is not likely that Samuel/Philpott would be his parents as nothing links Samuel/Philpott with any Nicholas. Also, geographic differences also make this unlikely.
Said of Samuel Bonham who married Margaret Philpott:
David W. Eaton in Historical Atlas of Westmoreland county, Virginia states in his book "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 forebears 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.

Could this Samuel be the Samuel who was also listed as a member of the London Co at Jamestown.
