A cousin had THOMAS BONNELL researched. The notes for BENJAMIN BONNELL born before 1595 in Flanders and died 1607 in London. Dates
of birth, marriage, death and wife's name are
not recorded. BENJAMIN was probably born in Flanders and died after 1607. There were four sons by THOMAS BONNELL's first marriage
(name unknown), however, the name of only one is recorded by Mrs Carolyn Syron Valentine.
(from Syron-Searing Wills, Deeds, Ways by
Carolyn Syron Valentine, Washington, D.C. 1925; pages 100, 103 and 104.) "THOMAS BONNELL, founder of what we call the Norwich-London Line of the family, was an
elder in the Walloon Church in 1595. He bacame Mayor of Norwich, page 104. In 1607 BENJAMIN brought a letter from the Walloon
Church at Norwich to the London Dutch Church.
BENJAMIN was the younger son of THOMAS by his first wife, page 103. BENJAMIN BONNELL, son of THOMAS, the English founder, was the immediate ancestor of WILLIAM, as there is no proof to the contrary."

From Ancestors and Descendants of Havilah and Dorcas Gale Bonnell by Adele Andrews, page 58, "WILLIAM BONNELL came from England in 1638 and settled in New Haven, Conn. He took
the Oath of Fidelity in 1648. He was a farmer and a tanner. He married Ann, daughter of BENJAMIN and ANN WILMONT. She died in 1653/54 and WILLIAM returned to England.

From the History of Elizabeth, New Jersey by Hatfield, page 99: "ISAAC WHITEHEAD was of the New Haven Colony of immigrants (to Elizabeth), son of JOHN, one of the founders of New Haven, Conn. He came hither with his wife and seven children. Daughter SUSANNA married NATHANIEL BONNELL."

My connection - NATHANIEL/SUSANNA son JAMES BONNELL b.1710, m.SARAH BROWNELL; daughter
JEMIMA BONNELL b.1763, m. DENNIS HARTY (THEUNIS - DENYSE OR DENIS, Early Settlers of
Kings County lists it four times).
