This is a merged profile. Caddy's version had the death date as 1683-10-29. J.D.'s had 1684-07-20. Haven't looked at the sources. Using the one on the existing profile for now. Whitten-1 16:05, 27 May 2012 (EDT)

The "Silver Book has her being alive on August 23, 1686, "when she posted bond as executrix" for her husband's will.

Comment by Allan Thomas on 3/26/14: Nicholas married Hannah Fuller, a descendant of one of the signers of the Mayflower compact. Nicholas Bonham was a disciple of Roger Williams, and on account of his religious principles was banished from Massachusetts about 1669-70 and went to New Jersey, where he acquired a tract of land and founded the Village of Bonhamton.

Fuller-5725 and Fuller-249 appear to represent the same person because: Same name similar details

Fuller-3698 and Fuller-249 appear to represent the same person because: These two profiles for Hannah Fuller Bonham have the same information for parents, husband etc. According to the Society of Mayflower Descendants, her exact date of death is unknown. Thanks
Fuller-4194 and Fuller-249 appear to represent the same person because: These seem to represent the same person by name, date of birth and parents. I didn't have time to check, but there are probably multiple merges needed in this whole line.
