I, too, am getting started on my Bonham Family search and have found quite a lot on the net. You will find that Edward Fuller's son Samuel came over on the Mayflower. They are our connection to England. Samuel, the son, was just a little boy and Edward and his wife died the first winter in Plymouth. So, little Samuel was reared by his uncle Dr. Samuel Fuller (so you have to be careful and be sure your ancestor is Edward, Edward's son Samuel, or Edward's brother Dr. Samuel Fuller. Mine is with the son Samuel. Amazon.com has Mayflower books on Edward and Samuel and lists five generations. Young Samuel had a daughter Hannah who married Nicholas Bonham in Barnstable, MA around 1658. Their sons left the area and my ancestors from this marriage came to South Carolina and settled in Edgefield County. I am still working on the connection of how these Bonham got to SC. I an beginning to believe that it was Nicholas'son Hezekiah Bonham...but here I am stuck. Hope this helps get you more started. Go into www.genealogy.com. and just proceed by exploring. If you need more help, I will be glad to do what I can, and would appreciate any help you might provide for me. I live in High Point, NC, but am originally from Spartanburg County, Inman, born in Gaffney.
