Re: Bonney's of Maine: Joseph Bonney 1834

In Reply to: Bonney's of Maine: Joseph Bonney 1834 by Ernest Mcgray of 784

Looking at info available, your Joseph H. Bonney is the son of Isaac Bonney Jr. and Elsie Alice J. Newell. Isaac Bonney Jr. is in all probability the son of Isaac Bonney Sr. and Betsey Godson (Isaac Bonney Sr's 1st wife being Abigail Robinson). And Isaac Bonney Sr. by most accounts is the son John Bonney and Hannah Gould - and so on (this line seems fairly well documented and runs way back).

The "Jr." tag on Joseph H. Bonney may be in reference to an uncle or great uncle - not an uncommon practice back then. As to Joseph H.'s wife, this note is found in one of Bonney family files:

"Marriage Data found in "Oxford County Marriage Returns" Prior to 1892", indicates Louisa J.

(Hatch) Bonney, of Peru, and Joseph H. J. Bonney, of Sumner, married in Peru on May 19, 1861

by John E. Jenne, J.P."


Based on census data and other misc assorted data, Joseph H. Bonney's own family looks like this:

Joseph H. Bonney (b. Apr 1834) married Louisa J. Hatch (b. Dec 1842) 19 May 1861. Their children were:

Perley Leon Bonney b. Jan 1862 (m. Cora Lottie Gray 14 Jun 1883).
Isora A. Bonney b. Feb 1868 (m. Charles H. Stearns/Sternes 1887).
Leonard Bonney b. Feb abt 1872 (prob died before 1900).
William Bonney b. abt 1877 (prob William Isaac Bonney b. 12 Oct 1876 m. Marcia A. abt 1902).


Perley Leon Bonney's family looks like this:

Perley Leon Bonney married Cora Lottie Gray 14 Jun 1883 (Cora b. 2 Apr 1865). Their children were:

Ethel G. Bonney b. Apr 1889.
Leon Elton Bonney b. 8 Jul 1897; d. 12 Aug 1984.
Lawrence G. b. 11 Dec 1900; d. 24 May 1879.
Arthur W. Bonney b. 16 Feb 1911; d. 16 Dec 1987.


Census transcriptions centered on your Bonney line as follows. Will probably look pretty ugly here - but here goes:
