"William and Mary Bonner came to SC from Ireland in 1767. With them were their teenaged sons, James (b. 1753), John (b. about 1751), and daughter Rebecca (b. about 1763). Rebecca died shortly after. James (my line) has been widely researched. However, I have found nothing about John. Does anyone have any information on this John Bonner?"

"The Nancy
Voyages of the Nancy are listed at ship name on Ship List
1767 The Nancy departed Belfast, Ireland, and arrived at Charleston, South Carolina.
* The voyage information was provided at a Council meeting on "June 22, 1767", as "lately arrived". Although the date of arrival was not given, the previous meeting had been May 28, 1767, and the Clerk reported vessel boardings at each meeting. It may be assumed, therefore, that the arrival was between these dates. Primary Sources: (1)Council Journal 33, page 178-184 Meeting of June 22, 1767. (2)Public Records Office, C.O. 5/511, June 25, 1767.

Ship and Passenger Information: (Details provided in cit. 3) Note: The petitioners "set forth that they were protestants" encouraged by the "bounty" to come to South Carolina (see "Bounty Act"). The fares ("passages") were paid "to Messrs. Torrans and Pouag and Mr. Bath" from their "Bounties". Names on petitions for "Warrants of Survey" for land "In or near Boonesborough or Belfast Township" (cit. 3, pages 74-76) includes some additional names not on the first (Bounty) list. The land warrants are indicated on this list by the number of acres in parentheses. Some of these warrants are in the same (or reasonably similar) names as underage (12 and 14 years) names on the Bounty list. There is no indication whether these are for other individuals or warrants were issued for land to these minors; 15 years was generally the minimum age for legal status. Burthen: 300 tons
