DESCENDANTS OF GREGORY BONNIFIELD (1726-1794) Compiled by C. J. MAXWELL DALLAS, TEXAS 1949 Lithoprinted from Author's Typescript EDWARDS BROTHERS, INC. Lithoprinters ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN 1949 THE GREGORY BONNIFIELD DESCENDANTS. FOREWORD. For several years I have been assembling the names of the descendants of Gregory Bonnifield and wife, Sarah Henley{?), who finally settled in Randolph {nowTucker) County, {West) Virginia. This task, an arduous one with many discouragements, is now presented in the most complete form possible under the circumstances. Over 5000 names of descendants have been coLlected. It is my guess (not even an estimate) that at least 1500 others are not included. Many of the "children" disappeared in the latter part of the eighteenth and the early part of the nineteenth centuries and no further traces of them are known. In regard to the accuracy of the list, please remember that all information had to be collected by correspondence. In hundreds of cases no direct replies were received and in­ formation had to be obtained from other sources. Very often the data were given from memory, which is always subject to error. Kany of the dates and some names have been changed three or four times as later information would come in. The magnitude of the task, the difficulties in preparing the list, and the chances of error are great. There are over 5,000 names of descendants. Each name has a separate number and from one to three dates: birth, marriage, and death. Thousands of names are given!! Children and are repeated!! parents; every marriage adds an additional name of husband or wife. This makes about g,500 names and about 20,000 separate names, numbers, and dates. Most of the work has been copied two or three times and new numbers given as the lists expanded. So, if you find errors, (and there are many), please consider the chances for making mistakes. Effort was made to list the children in the order of their ages. Occasionally after the material was typed, additional information would show the first arrangement was not correct; but to change the order would have necessitated the changing of every number following; so the original order was retained. Where the day, month, and year are given, they are usually authentic; while if only the year, or often no d~te at all is given, the informtion may not be accurate. No effort was made to give biographies except for the earliest generations; to do otherwise would make a book too large, too expensive, too difficult. Gregory Bonnifield is given the arbitrary Roman number {XVI); his children are {XVII); grandchildren, (XVIII); a.rd so on. Every person in a generation is thus given the same Roman numeral but is given an Arabic number designating his place in the generation. 2 After some names will be found double or hyphenated number as (XIX 478-3). This means that after the regular numbers were allotted, new names came in and extra numbers had to be assigned. Many names have ****' s before them, indicating nothing is known about them. For those unaccustomed to the method of arrangement of the names, these suggestions are made. Remember all children of the same generation have the same Roman m1n~ra.l but each child has also an individual number in figures. This same indiV1dual number is used if the name of the child is repeated as that of a parent. Suppose you wish to find a particular name as Samuel Hupp White. Turn in the Family Index to the name White. In this case you will find the White families in generations XIX, XX, XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIV. Look in the body of the book among the White families under the generations above until you find the name, number (XX 5g2), on page 33. His parent is William White (XIX 178). To find William White fil!. ~ ~' (!!21 ~.!parent), turn towards the front of the book among the XIX children. It will be on pagel'7-E. His parent is Dorcas (Maddox) White (XVIII 4o). To find her .!! ~ ~, turn again towards the front or the book among the XVIII children and find her on page 16. Thus you can go back to John Minear {XVI). You found Samuel Hupp White {XX 5g2) on page 33, !!. ~ ~- To :rind him M !; parent turn towards the back of'· the book among tho XX parents and find him on page , e . His children are listed as XXI. If you knew Samuel Hupp White married a Miss Snyder it would be easy to find his number by using the In-law Index and finding the Snyder marriages. After the biographies is some material about other branohes of the Bonnifields. Thie was inserted to keep the Gregory Bonnifield branch from being confused with other Bonnitields not definitely known to be connected with those of this book. While no promise is made, if enough additional information comes in, it is possible that a supplement will be issued containing the new data. It will be published if I am financially, physically and mentally able to do this. At least a list will be ma.de of all additions and will be available to those interested. I shall be glad to get any corrections or additions. Ky obligations to those who have assisted are great. It is impossible to list all who have aided but to all my thanks are expressed. Care Ginn & Co., Dallas 1, Texas ~ April 15, 1949 3 THE GREGORY BONNIFIELD FAMILY. There is a very persistent tradition of the European origin of the Bonnif1elds. They were said to have been Huguenots in Normandy, France, but, on account of religious persecution they migrated, in the seventeenth century to England and Scotland. This tradition appeared in written form about a hundred years ago in the Autobiography of Abraham Bonnifield (XIX 30) who received the information from his father. The Bonnifields came to Maryland at an early date. In the following account where possible the sources of information are given but it is hard to distinguish between docume ~acy evidence and family tradition. In the published Archives of Maryland, Volume one, year 1658, pages 226 and following 1s an account of the suit of Christine Bonnifield against Robert Holt, (son of her husband), for property. It seems that she was married to his father while he was still undivorced from his first wife. A minister had (unlawfully) given Holt a decree of divorce and performed the marriage ceremony between them. Holt had given Christine (his second wife) an interest in his estate as a gift; soon after this he died. His son bid brought suit for the property. Christine in her suit said she had brought, before her marriage, a 11 cons1derable estate" into Maryland. This suit was settled in 1661. Earlier tha.~ this, (in October 1654), Christine sued Martin Kirke for slander and threats. In the same suit, it is indicated that Christine was 46 years o1d in 1654. These suits were in Prince George County. There is a tradition that the Bonnifields first settled in the Carolinas and that in attempting to return to Europe a storm drove them to the shores of Maryland where they settled in St. Mary's County. In the D. A. R. Magazine of December, 1927 is an account of a Declaration of Independence in South Carolina in 1775 or 1776 signed by Watson Bonnifield and many others. On April 13, 1722> "James Bonifant, carpenter, n Prince George County, Md., sold land to Thomas Wilcoxson. In 1757, James Bonnifield, strayed a horse in the same county. In May, 174o Priscilla Bonnifield, widow, administrator of James Bonnifield, gave bond for administra­ tion. There are several other and later records in Prince George County, all of which indicate the early settlement of the Bonn1fields in Maryland. Spelling of the Name. The name has several spellings: Bonifant, Bonifante, Bonifaunte, Bonnifield, Bonifield, Bonafield. One reason is that the persons often were unable to write and more often the clerks spelled the name according to sound. In the 1776 Maryland Census the name of Gregory 1s spelled Bonni fie 1 d. His will recorded in Culpepper County, Virginia spells it Boni field; but he signed the will with his mark. In the official records of Randolph County, (W), Va., Samuel, the son of Gregory signed his name with two "n's" in signing official papers as sheriff; and also in his application for a pension. Two other sons of Gregory, William and Arnold, signed the name as Boni fie 1 d. The Jlaryland 1776 Census shows two large families. In Frederick County was Gregory Bonnifield with the large family mentioned later. Th~ persons named in this publ.icatict. are descended from Gregory. In Prince George County is found the family of Samuel Bonifant, age 32, his wife Sarah, age 36; seven "males' ages 15, 13, 11, 7, 4, 3, 1 and one "female" age 5. There were also several slaves. Other Bonifants are in the Census but no large families; several marriages are recorded. 4 From the D. A. R. records and application it seems that Samuel Boni faun t e and his brother George (7) James, Washington and Charles served in the Revolution. This Samuel married Sarah Townsend, served under Lafayette, and was killed in the Battle of Germantown, Oct. 4, 1777. From Portraits and Biographical Sketches of an early Congress is found: "George Bonifant was son of John and gr~ndson of Samuel. Samuel was the son of a French Huguenot who fled from France and was among the first settlers of St. Mary's County." Gregory Bonnifield (XVI 1) Gregory Bonnifield was born in 1726; the place of birth not known but likely in St.

    How Did Law, Order, and Growth Develop in Oklahoma?

    Chapter How did law, order, and growth develop 10 in Oklahoma? Where did the name “Oklahoma” originate? In 1866, the U.S. and Five Civilized Tribes signed the Reconstruction treaties. That was when Choctaw Chief Allen Wright coined the word “Oklahoma.” He made it from two Choctaw words, “okla” and “humma,” meaning “Land of the Red Man.” He meant it for the eastern half of Indian Terri- tory, the home of the five tribes. In later years, however, “Oklaho- ma country” became the common name for the Unassigned Lands. It was 1890 when the western half of the old Indian Territory became the Territory of Oklahoma. What was provisional government? On April 23, 1889, the day after the Land Run, settlers met in Oklahoma City and Guthrie to set up temporary governments. Other towns followed suit. Soon all the towns on the prairie had a type of skeleton government, usually run by a mayor. Homesteaders also chose town marshals and school boards. They chose committees to resolve dispute over land claims. Sur- veyors mapped out Guthrie and Oklahoma City. There were dis- putes about an unofficial government making official property Allen Wright Oklahoma Historical lines, but, later, the surveys were declared legal. Today, they remain the Society basis for land titles in those cities. The temporary or provisional governments were indeed “unof- ficial.” They succeeded only because the majority of people agreed to their authority. Not everyone agreed, however, and crime was hard to control. Often troops from Fort Reno closed the gap between order and disorder. The army’s presence controlled violence enough to keep set- tlers there.

TERRITORIAL GOVERNORS GEORGE WASHINGTON STEELE, the first Territorial Governor, was born December 13, 1839, in Fayette County, Indiana, but spent most of his life in the city of Marion, Indiana. He read law and was admitted to the bar after he had completed his studies at Ohio Wesleyan University. Leaving his law practice in Hartford City, Indiana, he volunteered for service in the Union Army and served throughout the Civil War and for ten years afterwards. He then returned home and entered business at Marion. A Republican, he served as Congressman from Indiana from March ty, 1883, to March 3, 1889. His experience as an army officer probably influenced President Harrison in selecting him as the initial Governor of Oklahoma Territory. Steele took the oath of office immediately upon his arrival in Guthrie on May 22, 1890. 10,000 people from all parts of the territory attended the festive event. It was Steele's responsibility to organize the government of the new territory including the appointment of local officials until elections could be held and to carry out the first census (1890) so that representation for the first legislature could be apportioned.
