Hello fellow Tennessee BONHAM researchers. I think I just solved the puzzle. Based upon 1850 census records in Moultrie Co, IL and 1840 census records in Shelby Co, IL, it appears that Hamilton BONHAM from KY is the father of Tennessee BONHAM. There are no confirming records to verify this (to date), but all available information fits this conclusion perfectly, including the names of Hamilton's siblings who also were living in Shelby Co in 18 40. From WFT #5, Amariah is the father of Hamilton, Jacob is the father of Amariah, another Amariah is the father of Jacob, Hezekaih Sr. is the father of the second Amariah, Nicholas is the father of Hezekiah and George is the father of Hezekiah. The Mayflower line of course is via the marriage of Hannah Fuller to Nicholas BONHAM and then back to Mayflower passenger Edward Fuller. This has been a tough one, but I'm 100% convinced that the missing link has been found and his name is Hamilton BONHAM!!! Thanks for all of the help. Many of you provided critical clues that were very important to the successful conslusion of this search. Thanks to all of you!!!! Larry
