    Notes:

    Amariah Bonham married about 1737 in New Jersey. The name of his wife is not known for sure. It could have been Mary Drake the daughter of Francis Drake and Patience Walker. Monnette in First Settlers said he probably married Drake. Other researchers believe his wife was Eunice King or Elizabeth Addy. Still other researchers believe he married Mary or Martje Bebout. This comes from a deed in which John Bebout called Amariah Bonham "friend, co-partner and bro-in-law." However, H. E. Bonham has concluded that John Bebout and Amariah Bonham were married, to sisters, Mary and Eunice King, and were therefor brothers-in-law

    In the 1800 census he (Ameriah Boneham) was living alone in West Bethlehem Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania.

    Ameriah must have married after the 1800 census and before he made his will.

    several speculations on his wife:
    Genealogy on Amariah Bonham and Mary Drake decendents World Family Tree Vol 2 File 3280 shows his place of birth as Maidenhead, Hunterdon Co, New Jersey. Information posted from George Bonham tree shows Piscataway. However, Hezekiah had moved from Piscataway in 1698 to Hunterdon Co.

    Amariah - 1765

    From Bonham, by John H. Bonham on pg 407 "Amariah, probably born about 1707 at one time lived in Amwell, in Hunterdon Co, sold his land there in 1742 and went to live at Piscataway. To Quote from Genealogical Collections: "Amariah Bonham wne of the originial members of the Baptist Church at Scotch Plains, Aug 5, 1747." He was later dismissed, and is so marked on the roll. Eunice Bonham, also a charter member, and perhaps wife of above, died Feb 5, 1758/9 and is marked dismissed on the roll." New Jersey Archives Vol XXII states "The Scotch Plains Baptist Church was constituted Sept 8 1747 by 15 members from the Piscataqua Church." Among the names of persons that the estate of John King of Piscataway owes is Aug 1749, Amariah Bonham is mentioned."

    Note: There is an Amariah Bonham listed in Index to 1787 Census of VA, Vol 3, p 55.
    Note: Info from Foxlover states that he married Marvtje M. Bebout, who bore all the children, b Hunterdon: Christian 1737 (d 1821 Springboro, Warren Co, OH; Jeriah 1743; Peter 1745; Rebecca 1739; Sarah 1746; Jacob 1741; Jonathan 1749.
    "The Bonham Family" also states Mary Bebout with children Jacob, Christine (Absolom Fox), Rebecca (Abraham Johnson) Sarah (Mr. Batey), and Jeriah; and that he married (2), Elizabeth.
    -------------------------
    On June 29, 1743, Amariah Bonham of Piscataway conveyed real property in Hunterdon County to Richard Taylor. The day before this same property had been conveyed to Amariah Bonham of Amwell Township by the estate of Peter Sutton of Piscataway. Amariah and his family probably moved from Hunterdon to Middlesex County at about this time.

    In 1747 Amariah (Amoriah Bonaham) was one of the original members of the Baptist Church at Scotch Plains in Essex/Union County, New Jersey. The church was formed on September 8, 1747 by fifteen members from the Piscataway Baptist Church who wanted a spiritual center in their own community. Scotch Plains is about ten miles north of Piscataway in Union County, New Jersey but before 1857 it would have been in Essex County.

    Amariah and Mary Drake Bonham were marked dismissed from the roll of the Scotch Plains Baptist Church in 1749.

    The family moved to Loudoun County, Virginia before 1765 when he was assessed tax there.

    An indenture was made on June 22, 1774 between Francis Lightfoot Lee, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and Amariah Bonham. Lee leased 200 acres in the Parish of Cameron, Loudoun County. The tract began at the road leading to Lane's Mill. The lease was to Amariah Bonham and his heirs for the natural lives of Peter Bonham, John Bonham and Charles Fox (whoever lived the longest). They paid Lee and his children twelve pounds sterling annually beginning the first of December, 1775.

    Amariah appeared on the tax rolls of Loudoun County in in 1782.

    Peter and John were commissioned as Ensigns in the Loudoun County militia. Jacob died on June 9, 1782 while fighting the British and Indians in the Sandusky Massacre.

    Amariah Bonham was assessed tax in Loudoun County in 1787. Scharf reported in his history that in 1788 Peter, Josiah, and Amariah Bonham took "settlers lots" in Maryland west of Fort Cumberland. Amariah gave them up in 1796.

    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.

    Notes:

    Malachiah was brought up as a Seventh Day Baptist, but changed his opinion and became active in the Hopewell Baptist Church. He joined the Heights Town (Hightstown) church before becoming a member of the Kingwood Baptist Church where he was ordained pastor in 1749. Baptists did not recognize formal clergy so he had no more authority than other lay leader. He was also involved in the organization of the Rocksberry (Roxbury) Baptist Church in nearby Morris County.

    ------------
    He was pastor of the Baptist Church, in Hunterdon Co, from 1749 until 1763. He was living in Maryland during the Revolution but served with the N.J. troops. (Bonham Family)
    Malachiah was not married to (3) Mary Fox abt. 1756. However, according to Howard E. Bonham's "Bonham & Related Family Lines" 1996, Mary Fox had an illegitimate child with Malachia Bonham, named Malachia born before 07 Feb 1757. She was susded from the church for this misdeed. In 1761, Minister Malachiah Bonham, the supposed father of this child, was excluded from the church where he preached due to this incident.
    ---
    An adultery scandal caused Malakiah to be excluded from the church. On February 3, 1757 twelve jurors ruled that

    Malakiah Bonham. Yeoman, being a married man, on the first day of April in the 29th year of the Reign of our Now Sovereign Lord King George the Second at Kingwood . . . with one Mary Fox spinster then and there Adultery did commit. . . .? [Supreme Court Cases, Box 371 #20473, New Jersey Archives cited by Marfy Goodspeed].

    In 1761, the church minutes noted,

    "Mr. Bonham cut off from privileges," and later that year, "Mr. Bonham appeared to express his desire for his place in the church which was denied him."

    The final reference to Bonham appeared in the September 5 minutes, "Mr. Bonham continued to be denied place in the church." Hannah Bonham requested and was given a letter of dismission. Hannah Buckingham Heath Bonham made a will in October of 1767, which was probated eleven years later, identifying her as the widow of Malachiah Bonham, Sr., and further indicating that they had no children

    rom Hopewell Valley Historical News Letter, 1981
    There is an entry in Pennsylvania Vital records - Marriage, Vol. I, p. 490: __ __, and Malachia Bonham, 1751, July 19. The name of the bride in this old record is unreadable, due to the old papers wear and tear. It could be Hannah Heath; the date would fit as she purchased an interest in the mill of her two brothers 30 Jan 1751. By 19 July 1751, she could have married Malachia Bonham. Here, Gregorian dates have been assumed although the Julian calendar was not officially replaced in England and the colonies until 1752.

    Property:
    In 1752, Malachiah sold a farm in Maidenhead to John Johnson, Sr., in 1752 which was the property settled by his father, Hezekiah Bonham, Sr. It would be unlikely that he as a younger son inherited his father's property. Malachiah's older brothers were in debt and involved in the Coxe lawsuit at the time of their father's death. The family may have conved the property to Malachiah to avoid estate complications.

Sent for Mr. Benjamin Griffey and Mr. Benjamin Miller in regard to Malakiah Bonham who will be notified by Brother (Peter) Romaine." In August of that year, Bonham was 'found guilty and barred from the church' and though he tried for several years to get the suspension lifted, the elders steadfastly refused to readmit him to the congregation."

    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.
