contact person for this is <>

now, the following is interesting, contact person is the same as
above. note the children:
ISRAEL WASHINGTON BONHAM
Birth: 1777 Death: 1862
father listed as Nehemiah Bonham born 1746, mother Betsy Williams
he married Mariam Hughes in 1800
children listed are
james bonham b 1804 in TN
annie bonham b 1806 in TN
david bonham b 1807 birth state not given on rest of children
nehemiah h. monham b 1809
israel w. bonham b 1811
martin l. bonham b 1813
margaret bonham b 1815
mariam bonham b 1817

  information on child MARTIN L. BONHAM
BORN 1813, DIED 1854
father israel washington bonham b 1777
mother mariam hughes
married 1) E. Stanley
married 2) R McGinness
children:
Richard Washington Bonham b 1844 in TN
E. Ann Bonham b 1845
Martin L. Bonham 1847
Jepthia b 1849

if you can go with a different birth year of 1813, a mix up somewhere
which is not really unusual, i think this may well be your martin l.
bonham with parents, siblings etc.  you would need to verify all of
this, the email on linda spence is 2  years old but may still be good.

she lists nehemiah's father as Nehemiah Bonham b 1724 in Hunterdon
co., NJ who married Betsy Williams in Virginia, and their children as
israel washington bonham b 1777
lucy bonham
nancy bonham
james harvey bonham b 1778 in NC
martin luther bonham
zedekiah asbury bonham b 1789
benjamin bonham

some of these name sure look familiar, LOL.
