Editors Suggestion: Share your copy with your local Library or Historical Society, if they don't receive it - You arc welcome to make a copy of the paper - This is a a Not For Profit paper to help gather family information - the more circulation, the better. At this time, Jan 1997 forward, it is not copyrighted by me…

From the Editor: Our Newest Bonnell; Our Granddaughter, Tabitha Rose was born 25 April to our son and wife. Dean and Carmen (Goodwin) Bonnell of Tacoma. Carmen is the daughter of Robert and Roxanna Goodwin of Yelm, WA. Weighing in at a sweet package of 6 Ibs. 9 oz. (same size at birth as her 4 yr old brother Fletcher) with a cute little turned up nose and quiet demeanor, she's a doll! Proud Grandparents; Carole (Guthrie) & Larry Bonnell of Spanaway, WA..

British Isles; By the time you read this, Larry and I will be in the British Isles: England, Scotland and Ireland We plan on a little research, a little relaxing and a whole lot of sight-seeing. We will be gone May 18 - June 8th (unless we REALLY like it there!) My mothers line are the Bruces, and my Dad's Guthrie's have a Castle yet standing. It will be fun to see all the history first hand. If any of you have not traveled to your ancestors’ homes in the US - do it. You will have a whole new outlook on your ancestors.

Research Trips: Larry and I motorhome and were in the North and North Eastern States and New Brunswick, Canada a few years ago. I wish we could have done this when I was a child studying history - it makes more sense than a flat map and dates and names. We enjoyed Plymouth, MA and the library there (walls filled with our ancestors). Salem, MA. was sad for the witch hunts, but my great-great grandmother was born and married there, and it's rich with History. New York, although we should have done lots of research there - the traffic was the worst 'Road Rage' I'd ever seen. Upper New York was beautiful with farms and sparsely populated, as was most of the Eastern states when away from big cities..

Salt Lake City; If you are unable to do much traveling by car or motorhome - a must is the trip to Salt Lake City -a real 'Heaven' to genealogists and Family researchers. The Family History Library there has nearly every, town, city, county, state and country recorded. You will find your own birth and marriage certificates on film or in books, tax, land and death records of relatives and friends. We, in Pierce County are now about to be charged $ 14 for a birth certificate- It is 20 cents for a copy of it there. There is a book floor, A film floor, British Isles floor and Europe Floor full of films and books If you don't find someone in you line, you aren't looking!

Teri and other sister-in-laws and I go once or twice a year and share rooms. The flight from here isn't bad. We have paid from $50 to $140 round trip each. If you go nowhere else in the next three years, go to Salt Lake. The library is free, except for copies you make. The people are very helpful and friendly (No. I am not a Mormon, and no one asks for donations or tries to convert you to their religion. In fact, I've never heard anyone talk religion around us)

Next Mothers Day, Birthday or Special Day when your family runs out of ideas for you, tell them to all put together and get you a round trip ticket for a week in Salt Lake city, or trip to your family home town.

OOPS.' Christine Krafts Pedigree was supposed to be in the last issue (pg. 2 Vol 12 # 1 1998 Winter) Sorry Christine. Also a 'Coffin' receipt was sent in by Charles R. Bunnell of AL. from 1816! Look for them in this issue.

THE BONELLS - Old Members of Christ the King Church 1900, Puyallup, WA.

by Carole Bonnell

(My daughter in law. Carmen Bonnell, gave me a paper from her church in 1997 which read:

"James and Fred Bonell, brothers of the Rev. Henry Bonnell, who first served the church at it's inception, settled in Puyallup with their families and discovered the little locked church on what was then called Rainier Street. They cleaned it for the occasion of their children's baptisms and asked the few Episcopalians they had found in the town to join them. From that point regular worship was resumed and the church grew slowly and steadily during the early 1900's." Someone at the Church had given her a page from a book at the Church, asking, since they were Bonnell's, were they related.. She asked if I had any information on them, were we, indeed, related?

I had nothing on this family at the time, but find doing family research, that most of us are related one way or another. These are not in our direct line, but may be yours. I sent out a query in July 1997 newsletter. I didn't received a reply until Jan 1998 (you have to be patient doing genealogy!) One of our most generous subscribers, Claude Bunnell of Florida and NJ., has a 35,000 Bonnell/Bunnell (every spelling) data base where he found this family. His data base is from proven records of Birth, Death, Marriage, Census, Baptisms, probates, etc. He sent a printout of the notes and sources and below I've summarized the chart and notes, as closely as I can with the facts given. Curiously, in our records, there is not a Henry, the subject and Rev. in the above article. Can anyone add more?

The story below is constructed from Birth, Death and Census records of this Family.

THE BONELLS - Old Members of Christ the King Church, Puyallup, WA

by Carole Bunnell Feb. 1998

Joseph & Sarah Bonell, an English couple had at least six children born to them in England. Joseph and Sarah were themselves bom in 1770's in England. At least one of these children immigrated to the United States, finding a home in Wisconsin, with part of his family finally settling in Washington State. For a time the family made their home in Puyallup, Pierce county, Washington.

* James Bonell # 1. was bom 1803 in Litchfield, Staffordshire, England. He was one of at least six children of Joseph and Sarah (Thursfield) Bonell of England, who were married 13 Jan. 1793 at the Ghad Church in Lichfield, Stafforshire, England. Their children were all bom in Litchfield, Staffordshire, England, and all listed as baptised at Ghad Church, Lichfield, also. Six known children listed below;

(Note: To keep it a little less confusing, we will call the three James Bonells, by numbers and asterisks, as born *James #1 b. 1803 to Joseph & Sarah, ** James # 2 b 1831 to James & Elizabeth and ***James # 3 b. 1859 to James and Hannah Bonell.)

James Bonell # 1. b. 1803, although he and brother Thomas seem to be born on the same day and both Baptized Feb. 6, 1803, they could be Twins or it could be an error in typing or recording this information. I find no statement that they were twins, though that does not mean it is not so. James # 1 married in England, Elizabeth — who was also born in England in 1810. This couple are the parents of the boys listed in the Puyallup, WA church in 1900 -James and Fred Bonell. I have found no (Rev.) Henry Bonell, yet, in my research. (I notice the James middle initial is H,–could this be for Henry and maybe one of the brothers has this same middle name and using it, instead of first name.) James # 1 is listed as having 9 children to he and wife Elizabeth: There is no Henry listed here or any reference to him, so far. All James & Elizabeth's Children were bom in England

From subscriber. Jerry Hatch: I chuckled to myself regarding the Steven Bonnell item on page 9 of your Feb. Newsletter. On a rainy day (no pictures) in 1985 I visited the Nathaniel Bonnell house in Elizabeth. I was amused that even the 'local authorities' were uncertain as to how to spell the surname: A sign in the front yard which read:

"Bonnell House - Oldest house in Elizabeth. Nathaniel Bonnell, early settler

and an original "Associate", erected house Sometime before 1682."

Inside a picket fence nearer the house was another sign:

"NATHANIEL BUNNELL HOUSE

Traditionally built before 1682, probably long before January 1679, when Nathaniel Bunnell,

one of the 1665 Elizabethtown Associates, obtained a confirmation grant from the Proprietors

of East Jersey "for a hous lott" "bounded south by a highway."

Owned by

The Elizabethtown Historical Foundation Headquarters of

The N.J. Society of the Sons of the American Revolution and Union County Historical Society."

As you may know, it is reported that the above Nathaniel's son, Joseph, became the first Mayor of Elizabeth, MN, and was a Justice of the Supreme Court of NJ.

Congratulations to you and Teri B. Bonnell on continuing an informative and interesting Newsletter. It takes considerable time, patience and work, I know...and is a lot of fuss. Please know the we 'out here are grateful for your efforts and the results" Keep up the Good work!! Jerry Hatch

(Thank you very much. Jerry, for the inf. and fan letter!)

I'm at a loss for the Eliza (BONNELL) BRANNEN that was in the 1850 Columbia Co., FL census. She was married to John "Milledge" BRANNEN. All your BONNELL'S mentioned are up North. Anyone know of any BONNELLS in Florida, Columbia. Co, 1850? Thanks. Barbara Waters Barren - 6461 W. Raven Street, Chicago, IL 60631

Reply from Claude Bunnell: / have a reference to her (Eliza Bonnell Brannen) and Millidge Rrannen from the IGI as parents of Sarah Ann Brannen (1825-1909). The only other BonnelI in Columbia Co, FL in 1850 was my 000485 John Bonnell born 1814 GA. His father was 000768 John born 1778 GA and among his children is a female born 1805 10 who may be the 027467 Eliza in my records. I am enclosing (in letter to Barbara) a printout of the information I have on the two Johns and their children, I hope this may be helpful.

Northern Bonnell/Bunnell's (Editors note) Here is a good point: Since my Bonne/Is were in the Northern, Western States and Canada, that is where I have researched and have files of. This is YOUR Newsletter. You are encouraged to send in information to share on all other lines of Bunnell, Bonnell, Bumell, etc. from other areas. Thanks, Carole

Does anyone know how to find the Bunnell family burial plot on Bunnell Hill near Meshappen, PA.? (I know where the Bunnell - Overfield cemetery is west of town.) Kevin Paul Bunnell - 1010 Rose Hill Dr.. Boulder, CO., 80302 (303)443-0642

William Austin answers: The Bunnell Hill, burial plot is less than five miles from where I sit. (Laceyville. PA) I gave him (Kevin) general directions and offered to show it to him if he comes this way again.

37. DAVIS. JUNIUS. RICH

Adelia Ann Davis was born in approximately 1828 in Ontario, Co., NY., near or in the town of Phelps. Her father was from Maryland She married Philo Belden Rich or perhaps Junius in Seneca Co., NY. I am searching for her parents names and a birth record and a marriage license. Any help or clues regarding this person would be most appreciated. Rodger Timmer - 342 Greentree Lane, Ada, MI, 49301

38. BONNELL

The place is Kuwait during Desert Storm in 1991. The person is a Chief Warrant Officer (branch ?, maybe US Air Force) named Ted Bonnell. A 1st grader named Toby wrote a letter to "any soldier" in the country and received some mementoes and a return letter from W. O. Ted Bonnell. The mementoes were a set of W. O. bars and an eagle, with instructions on how to wear them on a shirt collar. Toby is now 13 years old and has cherished the mementoes and would like to communicate with Ted. If any one has any information, Toby Porter can be reached at 37 Highland, CT; Paris, IL, 22624-1704 (send in by John C. Bonnell, Jr of Clear Brook, VA)

HE RODE WITH MOSBY - LUDWELL BONNELL, SON OF DALLAS

From John C. Bonnell, Jr., VA. - "First, I thank you and Teri for taking over the newsletter. I think you are doing a great job. My thanks also goes to Claude Bunnell for his Civil War Service Records feature. I am a civil war enthusiast and have written a book. (see sources section in this newsletter). Information below was sent to Claude, anything of interest, feel free to use;"

VA, C, D Bunell - A/MOSBY REG VA CAV.

LUDWELL/DALLAS BONNELL

Who was Ludwell Bonnell? Ludwell Bonnell came to my attention as the father of Dallas Bonnell who rode with Mosby. I don't think he is my relation. He and his family lived near Paris, VA. in 1860. (There is genealogy data to take this line back to Ohio and an Isaac Bonnell, bom in 1755, but I don't know where he was born.) Ludwell P. Bonnell, age 48, wheelwright. (1860 Census)

son of William, Son of Isaac

b. 1813, Virginia d. prob. prior to 1870 census, (does not appear)

m. Ann(ie) Elizabeth (Mary) Pierce, age 48, (dtr of Amos Pierce) housewife, 23 Nov 1837, Fauquier County, VA.

b. 19 Aug 1812 d. 12 Nov 1900. 88 yrs old. Bur; Andrew Chapel Cem.

Rt 7 & Trapp Rd., Fairfax Co, VA. (mother of Dallas)

Herod Dallas, age 12.

The following information has been extracted from various Confederate unit histories;

Thomas, N. (L.?) Bunnell

Enl. Confederate Army 1861 (age 13) Joined Mosby, date unknown. Pvt. Co- A Appears on a 1898 roster of Confederate soldiers- Scott district, Fauquier Co, age 58 (1898-1860=38+12=50) Age is good.

(Probably son of Ludwell's)

Dallas Bonnell. There are no records of Dallas in Richmond or National Archives. He was listed as a private in Co.A, 43rd Battalion Virginia Cavalry, Mosby's command. This Company was formed 10th June 1863, near Rector's Crossroad, Loudown County, Va. A "Bunell, D." was paroled on 22 April 1865. Height

was 5'5" and age, 18 when paroled. 200 of Mosby's men received their paroles near Winchester on 22 April 1865. He was enlisted as a PVT and probably paroled as a PVT.

Part of a Letter from Claude Bunnell to the above information;

"Ludwell P. Bonnell was the son of William Bonnell (1,761-1858) who was the son of Isaac Bonnell (175x-1834) The big question in many descendants minds is who were the parents of Isaac. There are some records indicating he may have lived at one time in Frederick, VA-, which I surmise was Frederick Co. I find it coincidental that Isaac founded the town of Winchester in Guernsey Co., OH, later named Winterset. Since the Capitol of Frederick Co, VA. is Winchester, it leads me to believe he lived in Frederick Co, VA and used its capitol to name his town in OH. If you wanted to help solve the mystery of his origins, you might check the early records between 1795 and 1808 to see if there are any clues in Frederick Co. I was thinking particularly of Deeds, Mortgages, Church, Newspapers, etc The last three of his children were born in VA and they were: Isaac 1800, Catherine 1802 and Nanacy (spell? Nancy) Jane 1804. All prior children were born in NJ. In 1808 he bought land in Crawford Co, PA., sold it in 1812 and moved to Guernsey Co, OH."

'HARRIOT BONNELL STEINWAY' PIANO

Mar 20, 1998 - Naples Daily News carried the following news item; "A Piano and cello recital will take place at 2 PM Sunday in the An Hall at Koreshan State Historic Site. The program will feature the restored 'Harriot Bonnell Steinway' piano, which was originally brought to the site for Bonnell, "a Koreshan, by boat in 1905.

The Koreshans were a group of Chicago area people who established a communal society north of Naples in the late 1800's under the leadership of Cyrus Teague, who was an army surgeon during the Civil War. Koresh, I believe, was the Hebrew word for Cyrus. He taught that we lived on the inside surface of a large globe with the sun at its center; therefore, the surface we lived on was concave rather than convex. He "proved" this by constructing a fencelike stucture that extended for several miles, along the beach, with measurements taken at various points from the top to the surface. They were intellectuals, artists, musicians, and earned a living for the community by serving as a publishing house for outside firms- The men lived separately from the women, were celibate, and after Teague died, their numbers dwindled. The last member died about 20 years ago, but the grounds are maintained by the State as a historical attraction. Teague's master plan was to build a New Jerusalem there that would be populated by hundreds of thousands.

A tidbit of history from Jim Bonnell, 2968, Merced, CA. 95340 e-mail = JPB74@; sent to him by e-mail from his class (of'41) school buddies. Can anyone claim this Harriot Bonnell?

Following two articles Sent to me from Nancy Bruce Crilly, good pal (and maybe Bruce cousin) form Lockport, IL.

Part of A Letter to Mr. Clarence Bonnell, from Big Prairie Cemetery Assoc., Epworth, IL 11 Feb 1947 Mr Clarence Bonnell, Harrisburg, IL. Dear Friend;

I shall address you as "Friend" for, after reading your splendid little book "The Illinois Ozarks"

The Big Prairie Neighborhood was settled early in the year of 1800. The Methodist Society was organized in 1810 and the first church - a log structure - was built in 1812. The first settlers - the Hannas came in 1808; the Land family in 1809 and the Pomeroys in 1810. First sermon preached in 1810 in the home of Geo. Logan Hanna.

The concord (Emma Postoffice) neighborhood was settled very soon afterward. Emma (Concord) a small village is situated six miles north of New Haven on the Little Wabash river.

My good friend W. E. (Win) Benndl loaned me his autographed copy of your book and I am enclosing my check for a copy. I am sure there are others who will prize highly this appeaiingly interesting little volume. By the way Win (Bonnell) and family are members of the Big Prairie Church having only recently bought a home in Carmi.

As I visit Harrisburg occassionally I may some day meet you and talk over old times.

Yours sincerely, Ernest O. Pomeroy (written on top is the notation, book sent $2 chk)
