1. | Benjamin Bonham, (not son of Samuel & Ruth Bowyer) was born in 1754 in Hunterdon Co, New Jersey; died after 1811 in Luzerne City, Union Co, Pennsylvania. Notes:
*Hazie attributed four additional children to Samuel, Jr. and Ruth Bowyer Bonham, viz., Samuel, III; Peter; Benjamin; and Elam. Of these, Peter was almost certainly the son of Amariah Bonham and, although various civil records attest to the existence of the others, there is no substantial evidence of their parentage. Even so, it is probable, even likely, that at least some of them are descended from Nicholas Bonham. Nevertheless, Howard Bonham concluded that Samuel and Ruth Bonham had no children with the possible exception of Catherine, who died as a young child.
