John Bonnell (1757-1845) Erie, PA - some DNA Results
John Bonnell (Revolutionary War Soldier, RWS)
who died in Erie Co, PA, 1845,
is said to have 4 Sons and 3 Daughters:
(1) Thomas Bonnell 1776-1871;
(2) John Bonnell, Jr 1780-1874;
(3) Margaret Bonnell b.1782;
(4) Nancy Bonnell b.1783
(5) George Bonnell 1786-1870;
(6) William S Bonnell 1788-1878;
(7) Sarah Bonnell b.1790;
BTW, of these 7 children, 4 (#'s 1, 3, 4, 7) married Coovers!
Recently, a DNA Test has Corroborated with some of this over-200-year-old paper trail.
I'm from John's son (#5) George and I had a DNA Test (12-Marker) in 2006. I did NOT match with ANYBODY in the Bonnell/Bunnell line at the time! And, once I saw and understood better of what DNA could & could NOT do, I upgraded to a 67-Marker Test.
Fortunately (for both my scientific & emotional well being ;-),
a person who was in son (#6) William's line had a test and proved to be a 100% match!
Although this latest test was only 12-Markers (to my 67-Markers), it agrees with the theory that we are related.
Hopefully, this latest member will increase to a 67-Marker test to tie this closer.
As more DNA tests with Males in John_RWS’s line are submitted,
we should be able to clarify these murky branches of the tree.
PLEASE, if you are a MALE in this line, consider a DNA Test,
and FEMALES, please 'coerce' the Males if they need a nudge to do this!
