The Death Record for William Bonner clearly states that William Bonner and Elizabeth were This William Bonner's parents.

I removed Henry Bonner as the father and added William Bonner Sr and Elizabeth as his mother, not his wife. Sandy

I am interested in any information you have on the "other source" claiming William had a brother Samuel. I believe Samuel had a daughter Elizabeth, who married Francis Landon Smith, named Elizabeth b. late 1700's. Any help you could offer would be much appreciated. Thanks, Honi
