• Notes

  The family name of Bonner is of Norman-French origin with the original Bonners arriving in Britain during the Norman Conquest in the 11th century. There have been numerous spellings of the name: in France as Bonheur and Bonaire all of which have the key of "good". Other spellings of the surname include Bona, Bonar, Booner, Bonney, Bonher and Boner. Many of these latter spellings probably resulted from writing the name as it sounded. Today the name of Bonner is common in France, Germany, England and Northern Ireland. The Bonners were a prominent family in England with Quentin de Riddell an ancestor of the noble house of Buchanan-Ridell. Quentin first bore the ensign of Bonner. Numerous documents, during the reign of Henry the VIII have references to Riddell and Bonner. The Ridell and Bonner families bear the same coat-of-arms, indicating that Bonner descended from Riddell There were several Bonners appearing in America in the 1600's including Thomas ,Henry and Richard around 1638. Thomas, James and William Bonner migrated to the Carolina's and Georiga from the Chesapeake Bay area.
