 "After the close of the Rev. War, Zedekiah Bonham settled on a farm in the Jerseys. He was married to Prudence Heath, a woman of Dutch descent. From here they started in a covered wagon for Otsego, NY, but winter was coming on, and they were compelled on account of snowdrifts, to stop at Mt. Pleasant, PA. Here he purchased a farm, where a daughter of Harriette Houser now resides, and erected a grist mill on the Youghiogheny River. When the War of 1812 broke out, he enlisted and was wounded in a limb. On returning home, he became a weaver of coverlids and of woolen cloth." His line of descendents is traced in this old unpublished genealogy.
