DeWitt Clinton Bonham Mystery Solved?

  of 1811

Jacob Dritt Bonham was the second child of Samuel Cox Bonham and the younger brother of DeWitt Clinton Bonham. It is said that DWC Bonham either died during the Civil War or fled the territory to Chicago where he was found on a voter registration roll in 1892. Take heart, all Bonham purists. There WERE TWO DeWitt Clinton Bonhams. So our hero most likely died in the war as said.

Jacob Dritt Bonham married in 1846, Miss Matilda Zook, daughter of David and Mary Zook of Lancaster County, PA. They had one son, DEWITT CLINTON BONHAM, in 1846. Matilda Bonham was back with her parents in 1860. She and DWC Bonham, 14 yrs. old, resided in Donegal Twnship, Lancaster, PA with David and Mary Zook. Jacob Dritt Bonham is nowhere to be found. My sources were the census.
