Biography
Esther was named as the wife of Peter Bonneau in his will, signed June 26, 1748 and proved December 16, 1748.[1] On March 10, 1753, the estate of Peter Bonneau was partitioned. Benjamin Marion, husband of the widow of Peter Bonneau, represented his wife as an executor and a recipient of her allotment. Also acting as executors were Peter Bonneau's brothers Samuel and Benjamin Bonneau. The slaves were apportioned into five lots, with one lot to Benjamin Marion and the other four to Peter's children.[2]

Simons-1373 and Simons-1051 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth, same two husbands' names. Only discrepancy is a one-day difference in date of death. These are the same person, so please merge.
