Notes |
- The father, Samuel Bonum, died testate in 1726 in Westmoreland County. His names his son Samuel and the child his wife carryiing. He appointed George Eskridge as guardian to his children, which duty was later assumed by Lindsay Opie.
Opie's account of his guardianship was settled in 1738 or 1739 (Westmoreland County Fiduciary Accounts 1742, p. 89 according to Elizabeth Combes Pierce, writing in April of 1935.) The account includes payments to Mrs. Bennett and a Mrs. Chatten for board, a wig for John Johnson (this cannot be his uncle John Johnson who died in 1721, and who had no children.).
