Notes:

Thomas Bonner was born in 1744 to Henry Bonner and Sarah (Luten) Bonner and died on 30 Dec 1804 at his home near Dove Creek in Clarke County, Georgia. He was 60 years old. Thomas fought for Roebuck's Regiment in South Carolina during the Revolutionary War. He married Margaret Jones on 06 May 1767 in Edenton, Chowan County, North Carolina. Thomas and Margaret had eight boys and two girls: Jordan, Zadok, Nancy, Whitmal, Mary, Thomas, Allen, Willis, Josiah, and Daniel.

Thomas and Margaret's marriage record lists his name as Thomas Bonner, Jr. This is because when his father died, he was a minor child. He was sent to live with Henry's brother. Since his brother had a son named Thomas, there were two Thomas Bonners living in the same house. The elder one was known by Senior, and the younger one was known by Junior, no matter their true relation. This is why Thomas (1744) is known as Thomas Bonner, Jr. on some historical documents.

Thomas married Margaret JONES 6 May 1767, Edenton, Chowan County, North Carolina. Margaret was born 1753, Chowan County North Carolina, USA; died 1 Sep 1804, Clarke County Georgia, USA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Margaret (Jones) Bonner was born in 1753 in Chowan County, North Carolina and died on 01 Sep 1804 in Clarke County, Georgia. She was 51 years old. Margaret married Thomas Bonner on 06 May 1767 in Edenton, Chowan County, North Carolina. Thomas and Margaret had 10 children: Jordan; Zadok Augustus; Deborah Nancy; Whitmal; Mary; Thomas; Allen; Willis; Josiah; and Daniel.
It has been said that her parents were Nathan Jones and Elizabeth (Slaughter) Jones, but this is a mistake. Elizabeth did marry Nathan Jones, but she was not born until 1753, the same year as Margaret. Elizabeth obviously could not be the mother of Margaret. Margaret?s parents are unknown, but it is possible that her father may be Thomas Jones. This guess is based on land sales to Thomas Jones that he deeded a percentage of to Thomas and Margaret Bonner. The only logical explanation to him doing this is that he was Margaret?s father. However, there is no proof that he is her father.
It is believed that Margaret is buried at the Bonner plantation near Dove's Creek in Clarke County, Georgia. This is more than likely an unmarked grave.

Notes:

Henry Bonner was born in 1706 in Albemarle, Stanly County, North Carolina to Henry Bonner and Deborah (Whedbee) Bonner and died in 1766 in Chowan County, North Carolina. He was 60 years old. It is unknown the exact date of Henry's death, but he died between 17 Jul 1766 and 06 Nov 1766. He made his last will and testament on 17 Jul 1766. Henry married Sarah Luten in about 1729. Henry and Sarah had three known sons: Thomas; William; and Henry. It is possible that they had more children prior to 1744 when Thomas was born, but there is no record confirming this. If there were more children, then they died before 1766, because no other child is mentioned in Henry?s will.
After Sarah?s death in 1750, Henry married Elizabeth Hardy. Henry and Elizabeth had one son: Richard. After Henry?s death, Elizabeth married William Roberts and had at least six more children with him.
