- Thomas 2nd, who married Dorcas Sampson

- Sarah, who married Nathaniel Cole
- Hannah, unknown
- John, who married Elizabeth Bishop
- William, who married Ann May

One of them should be disconnected as Thomas' mother, since the two Thomas Bonney represent the same person

Terry-2641 and Hunt-837 do not represent the same person because: These appear to be two different people, as they were born about 30 years apart.

Terry-2641 and Hunt-837 appear to represent the same person because: Mother of Thomas Bonney. Terry-2641 is currently dead prior to Thomas' birth and has no source given to indicate that she is his mother. Merge of mothers is required before merge for Thomas may be completed.
