Notes
a. Note:   Samuel "Sherwood" Bonney was born in February 28, 1812 in Cornwall, Litchfield County, Connecticut. While the Barbour Index of Connecticut vital records lists him as Samuel "Sherman" Bonney, the actual listing in the Cornwall town records is Samuel Sherwood Bonney and he used the name "Sherwood" Bonney. He was the son of John and Orilla (Sherwood) Bonney. In the summer of 1813, the family moved to the Connecticut Western Reserve and settled in Nelson township, Portage County, Ohio. When his father died in the fall of 1814, his mother was left with eight children to support and care for. When he was 14 years old, Sherwood went to live with his eldest brother, John, and lived with him until he was 21 years old. John Bonney's widow, Orilla (Sherwood) Bonney, married Alphus Streator on October 27, 1816 in Portage County and had several additional children.
  When he turned 21, Sherwood got a portion of his father's land and in July 1837 he bought his brother Timothy's share to make a small farm of about 58 acres, where he lived for 15 years. He went to work clearing land for himself and other people, and took jobs, at four dollars per acre, chopping heavy beech and maple timber, cutting it to logging length, and piling the brush. On March 9, 1837, he married Elizabeth Byrons in Nelson township. He built a log house on his land and lived there until the spring of 1839 when he sold it for seven hundred dollars which he took in one span of horses and a wagon, and the balance in dry goods and money.
  About the first of May, 1839, Sherwood and Elizabeth left their home in Ohio and started for Iowa with their year old son. They had a "very pleasant" journey and stopped 14 miles of Burlington at his brother Timothy's house while he went back to Ohio for a wife. While he was gone, Sherwood rented a farm from S. S. White, brother-in-law of General McCarver, proprietor of old Tacoma. He engaged in farming during the fifteen years he resided in Danville township, Des Moines County, Iowa. In 1852, Sherwood and his wife, Elizabeth, decided to move and sold their land to Charles Mason for $1,000; bought two wagons, six yoke of oxen, two cows and provisions for the journey. A first hand account, by Sherwood, of this trip across the country in 1852 via the Oregon Trail is as follows:
  "My wife favored the plan, thinking that in the future we could have plenty of land for our children, six in number, and we saw nothing but success. We were in good health; and with high hopes we started on that tiresome journey for the far on the 7th of April, 1852. My brother, Timothy Bonney, had preceded us, and we overtook him, with his family, about sixty miles on the road in Wapolo County, Iowa. Fearing a scarcity of feed, we camped at Gray's Creek and bought corn for our cattle. We then loaded our wagons with as much corn as we could conveniently carry, but to our great surprise we found plenty of corn on the road - so much for people not speaking the truth.
  We got to Council Bluffs on the Missouri River all right, but were obligated to wait there, with many others, for a new boat to be finished before we could cross the River. The company had now increased to twenty-six wagons, cattle, horses, men, women and children. We commenced the crossing on May 20th, but it took four days to land all on the other side. Our captain's name was Ogle; who was the father of the Ogle who owned the nursery at Puyallup.
  Our route lay on the north side of the Platte River, through a level country entirely unsettled, mostly without timber, and sometimes making it difficult to get a few sticks with which to build a fire at night. After crossing the River we began to see Indians. They did not bother us much, but often appeared in camp to beg food, or to find what we had left on the ground. We saw no buffalo or animals larger than coyotes or prairie dogs.
  We corralled our cattle at night. One night we encountered a severe storm of rain and wind which blew down our tents and stampeded our cattle, which took nearly all the next day to find. My oldest son found them about three miles away from camp. We found the dust very uncomfortable in so long a train. Often we could hardly see the team we were driving, and it shut out all distant view. Gradually the country became more rugged, and we began to ascend hills.
  Nothing of any importance happened before we reached Fort Laramie, where we saw a few Sioux Indians and a few soldiers. I went over to the fort on the opposite side of the river from our camp, where we stayed only overnight. The next morning my brother Timothy and I started with our three teams from the fort and travelled alone for awhile, leaving the dusty train for a time behind us.
  On the Fourth of July we camped on the summit of the Rocky Mountains at South Pass, starting at night to descend toward Green River, a beautiful stream on the banks of which we camped in the morning. When we reached the River we found a ferry kept by the white men. We paid them eight dollars to take us across the stream the next morning. Soon after this, Timothy's team failed, so he had to leave his heavy wagon and take one of mine that was lighter. We took his things and family into one of my wagons.
  Reaching the Snake River [at Three Island Crossing], we found John Rigdon with rope stretched across the river and a wagon-box for a ferry. We asked him if we could join his company. We were permitted to join his company. We brought up our teams and the next day we all got across safely.
  The following day was the 4th of August. Putting our wagons together again, we pursued our way as usual, until four o'clock in the afternoon, when my little son, Alvin, five years old, was taken violently sick with cholera. No medicine seemed to do him any good, and he died. The next morning we put him in a chest, it not being long enough we had to knock out one end which left his feet sticking out. It was sad, indeed, to lay him down for his last sleep in this wild place, but we had no alternative - the Indians gave us no chance to stop - we must push onto keep out of their way. There were several persons buried there that day. The others became sick, my brother Timothy, and his little daughter, aged two years. We did all we could for them, but after a few days of suffering they died on the 8th day of August, and were buried near our path, as well as many others, who were strangers.
  There was neither comfort by day nor rest by night. My second and third boys, David and Lyman, were very unwell, and it was not wonderful that my dear wife, worn and fatigued with the long journey and sorrow, should be the next victim. The situation seemed very hard; everybody was frightened at the cholera and the Indians. We could not stop alone, and none was willing to face death and the Indians, so we struggled along sick and sorrowful until we had crossed the Snake River the second time [at Fort Boise where they entered Oregon] and had a hard drive to reach the next camp which we did not reach until after dark, where we could get water [at the Malheur River at what is now Vale, Oregon].
  That was a dreary and hopeless night as I watched my dear wife, the companion of my early years, battling disease and yielding up that hope that had sustained her through many trials. She lingered until noon the next day, August 14th, when she breathed her last. We were left almost alone to perform the sad rites of burial. Most of the company had hastened on. Mr. Fisk and August Lewis were, with their wives, kind enough to stop with us until it was over. We buried her on a little mound beneath a tree, and smoothed it down as well as we could, lest the Indians might disturb the grave.
  The children were improving slowly and we were obliged to move on and camp at Burnt River, where there was feed and water. We forded the stream in the morning, and at evening camped at Powder River [near what is now North Powder, Oregon], where I lost an ox. The Indians, still impelled by curiosity, followed us and there were one hundred or more straggling along to escort us across the Grande Ronde Valley. When we arrived at the foot of the Blue Mountains [near what is now La Grande, Oregon] we found a man by the name of Gabriel - he had one yoke of oxen and cart and wife. He could not have been an angel because he swore like a pirate at the oxen because his poor oxen could not pull his almost empty cart up the mountain. I told him to quit and I would help him up. We put one yoke of my oxen on the lead of his and went up without any further trouble.
  The road was rough and my fourth son, Samuel A., took the mountain fever and was nigh unto death door. He could eat nothing and wasted to almost a skeleton, but when we reached The Dalles he began to mend and could eat fresh salmon. Here my brother's widow and what was left of his family went down to Portland in a small boat, but I camped for three weeks, and sent my oldest son with two hired men to drive the cattle down the trail to the Cascade landing, where I was to meet them by boat.
  Fifteen families with all of their belongings were put upon a large keel boat called the Sea Serpent. When we arrived at the Cascades I carried my wagons off the boat and put them together. I loaded them and hitched up the teams and went down River five miles, where they were again taken apart and loaded onto a steamer and carried to the mouth of Sandy River, and again we rebuilt our wagons and drove to French Prairie to spend the winter."
  At French Prairie, Sherwood earned money by thrashing wheat and making 20,000 shingles. They sent the shingles to Salem where they sold them for $9.00 per thousand. In February 1853, Sherwood married his brother's widow, Lydia Ann (Wright) Bonney, and moved to Salem. There they rented a house on the opposite side of the street from T. Mercer and Dexter Horton. Sherwood did some carpentry work, hauled some lumber, and took a job cutting and thrashing 25 acres of wheat on shares. He hired Mercer and Horton to help him with the work.
  The 1853 Oregon Territorial Census for Marion County includes: Sherwood Bonney, Jervis Bonney (Sherwood's father's first cousin), Bradford Bonney, Truman Bonney (Sherwood's father's first cousin) and Silvester Wright (possibly Lydia Ann's uncle who may also have gone to Oregon).
  Mercer and Horton went up to Puget Sound and came back with glowing reports of the country. Sherwood and Lydia decided to move to the Washington Territory in the fall. They started out about October 1 with eight children, five yoke of oxen and four cows. Ring Perkins accompanied them as far as Olympia. They went through Portland to St. Helen where they stayed one week waiting for a conveyance down the Columbia River. They shipped the stock across the river in a scow and Mr. Perkins and their three oldest sons went down the river with the stock. After waiting about a week, the rest of the family finally got aboard a large batteau. Sherwood, Lydia, and five children, Mr. Sanders and his wife and two children, the captain of the ship, 2 wagons, bedding and other belongings were all loaded on board. It took two and a half days to get down to Monticello, a little town above the mouth of the Cowlitz River, where they had to wait another week before they could get conveyance up the river.
  Sherwood chartered two canoes and Mr. Sanders chartered one. They put the wagons in one of the canoes and the two families in the other two. They also had two Indians in each canoe. Sherwood paid the proprietor a fifty dollar gold slug for his part of the conveyance. It took them two days to get to the landing because the river was very low. A good part of the way they had to walk. The Indians used paddles where the water was deep and poles where it was shallow. They found the boys with the cattle without any problems.
  They then hitched up the teams and went to Olympia where they bought some provisions and struck out for Chamber's Prairie. There they stopped and camped close to Mr. T. Chambers. Sherwood and Mr. Sanders rode by horse down to Steilacoom where they found "a place quite lovely". They went back for their families and moved to the small settlement. Sherwood turned his stock out on the plains near American Lake, went to work for three weeks as a carpenter and then got a job hauling lumber from Bird's saw mill.
  In the fall of 1854, the first election was held in Pierce County and Sherwood Bonney was the first elected Justice of the Peace. As such, he performed the first marriage ceremony, at the old Thomas Chambers house near Steilacoom, where Charles Hogan married a Miss Kilbuk. He next married Mr. J. R. Meeker to Mrs. Nancy Burr at Fort Steilacoom. He also officiated at the first wedding on the town site of Tacoma when Nicholas DeLin and Gertrude Meller were married in 1854 at the old saw mill on Gallegher's Gulch (creek) at the head of Commencement Bay. In 1855, he conducted the first wedding in the Puyallup Valley, at the home of the Hon. Robert Moore, when Mr. J. W. McArty married Miss Ruth Kincaid.
  In the spring of 1855, he took up a Donation Land Claim on the north shore of American Lake, built a house and moved his family into it. This claim consisted of 322.9 acres in sections 16 and 17, township 19, range 2 east. Most of the property subsequently became part of Fort Lewis. The eastern portion was subdivided into small lots upon which vacation homes were built in what is now part of Lake City. The U. S. Veteran's Hospital was built on ground immediately to the south of the old Bonney Donation Claim.
  During the summer of 1855, there began to be rumors of a war with the Indians. Sherwood rented a double log house in Steilacoom and moved the family into it. The people of the town undertook to turn it into a fort where they could sleep at night. They made a stockade of split cedar logs stuck on end around the house. In the fall of 1856, the family moved back onto the claim near American Lake. During the winter of 1861/2, there was a very deep snow that stayed on the ground all winter. More than 2/3 of the stock in Oregon and Washington died during that winter, and Sherwood himself lost 40 head.
  In the spring of 1862, Sherwood went with captain Settle to the Salmon River mines in Idaho. They each took two horses and went by way of the Columbia River, past Fort Vancouver and over the trails to The Dalles. They then went up the Umatilla River where they saw a great many dead cattle on the road past Walla Walla; and then over to Lewiston. From there they took a southeast course across the Cammer Prairie and up a trail along the bank of the Salmon River on a trail where the river was several hundred feet below. They came to the mouth of Skate Creek then ascended a long and steep trail to the summit where the snow was five or six feet deep.
  They then went on a prospecting tour with several others, around what was called the Camel's Hump. Sherwood then started home in the company of Father Guthrie of Olympia. When he arrived home he rented, for one year, the Sumner farm owned by Cyrel Ward which was later purchased by Joseph Rives Dickenson. While there, he raised a good crop of wheat, oats, barley and vegetables. He then rented the farm owned by John Carson. The following winter Sherwood Bonney, John Carson and Mr. E. Meeker chartered a scow, loaded it with wheat, and sailed past where Tacoma is now located and around the Narrows to Chamber's Mill. When they returned, they got an Indian to pilot the scow into the slough.
  In 1863, Sherwood acquired a preemption claim near Sumner which he farmed. On December 12, 1863 Lydia A. Bonney received a deed from Lafayette Balch for "Lot 5 - Block 23 of Balch's Steilacoom" (Pierce County Deed Book 2, page 4). On February 18, 1864 Sherwood Bonney and his wife Lydia deeded both "Lot 6 - Block 52 of Balch's Steilacoom" and the " 1/2 of Bonney's Donation Claim" to Nathaniel Hudson (Pierce County Deed Book 2, page 22).
  The Christian Church was Sumner's first church of any kind. It was actually a transplant from near Steilacoom area, moving there in 1863. Early members included J. R. Meeker, Abrial Morrison, Sherwood Bonney and Israel and Thomas Wright and their families. Their earliest meeting place is unknown, but by 1872 they were meeting in a schoolhouse in the corner of Main Street and Wood Avenue.
  On October 21, 1872 Sherwood Bonney received a deed from M. McCarver for "1/2 acre in Pierce Co." (Pierce County Deed Book 3, page 539). On January 19, 1878 Sherwood Bonney and his wife deeded "1/2 acre in Sect. 31 Twp 21 N R 3E" to H. H. Rognoldson (Pierce County Deed Book 5, page 329). In the 1880 U. S. Census, Sherwood was listed twice, once in Pullyalup Valley, Washington with his wife Lydia and their children and again in Spokane, Washington with his son David H. Bonney and his family, where Sherwood must have been visiting. In 1880 his son, Edward Philander Bonney, was listed as an inmate in the Pierce Co., Washington Insane Asylum.
  On February 2, 1881 Sherwood Bonney received a patent from the U. S. government for "acres in Pierce Co." (Pierce County Deed Book 8, page 742). On April 10, 1882 Sherwood Bonney received a deed from Harris Rognoldson for "land in Tacoma" (Pierce County Deed Book 10, page 208). On October 21, 1883 Sherwood Bonney deeded " 1/2 acre in Tacoma" to Madeline Nichels (Pierce County Deed Book 12, page 6). Sherwood's wife Lydia died on May 10, 1884. On August 5, 1884 Sherwood Bonney received a deed from Warren J. Gordon etal. for "Lots 9 & 10 - Block 2418 in New Tacoma" (Pierce County Deed Book 17, page 266). Sherwood also later served on the jury which heard the evidence in the famous Leschi trial. He died on March 30, 1908, at the age of 96, at the home of his son, Fred Bonney, at Sumner. He was buried at Sumner Cemetery beside his second wife, Lydia, who had died on May 10, 1884. Lydia was the daughter of Levi Wright and Lydia (Chapman) Wright. She became the first school teacher in Pierce County; when she taught in her home in Steilacoom in July, August, and September, 1854.
  On July, 10, 1887, Sherwood married, as his third wife, Susan S. Dexter. On December 3, 1891 Sherwood Bonney and his wife Susan, deeded land in Tacoma to Alice Apgar (Pierce County Deed Book 134, page 119).
  Lydia had the following children by her first marriage to Sherwood's brother, Timothy Stone Bonney: Ralph, Levi C., Mary Emeline, Sarah Amelia, and Lucy (who died on the Oregon Trail). Sherwood had the following children by his first marriage to Elizabeth Byrnes: Edward Philander; David H. who married Emma Bishop; Lyman Walter who married the widow, Eunice Heckle Hughes; Samuel Alonzo who married Emma Northover; Alvin (who died on August 5, 1852 on the Oregon Trail); and Ransom Kendall who married Mina Nesbitt.
  An article in the March 30, 1908 issue of the Tacoma News newspaper reads as follows: "The 96th birthday of Sherwood Bonney was celebrated by a family reunion at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Etta Dickenson, Forty-Fifth and Warner Streets, Tacoma [6438 S. Warner]. Six sons and four daughters [including his step children] are still living: David H. Bonney - Fresno, Cal.; Ransom K. Bonney - Oakland, Cal.; L. W. Bonney, Mary Shorey, Mrs. Gardner Kellogg and Lucy Harris - Seattle; Levi C. Bonney and Fred W. Bonney - Sumner; and Mrs. Etta Dickenson and W. P. Bonney of Tacoma." _____
  On August 24, 1905, Sherwood Bonney, at the age of 93 years, wrote the following:
  "I have lived to see the iron horse take the place of the ox team, and the steamer plough the waters of Puget Sound, where once only the Indian canoe was pushed laboriously along. The telegraph, telephone and electric lights, with all the modern improvements of civilization are here, but we the old pioneers are passing away; soon they will all be gone. Have they lived in vain? When I look back upon that wonderful journey across the mountains so full of hope at first, and then of toils, privation and sorrow, I see many failures and mistakes, many opportunities lost. But the opportunities are not all passed by, nor the labors all done.
  The future is coming when the hills will give up their gold, the waters will have reclaimed the desert, and over every step of this road, where we struggled and toiled and died, new conditions of life will have come to pass. The wild grandeur and beauty of the path will be changed from the Missouri to the Pacific. It will be transformed into fields, gardens, towns and cities for the abodes of men in happy homes, who will never think of those who cut the roads and hewed down the forests, and planted the seeds of prosperity and wealth." _____

  Timothy Bonny is listed on page 83 and Sherwood Bonny on page 84 in the 1840 Des Moines Co, Iowa census. Based on the other names they are probably in Pleasant Grove Twp. Timothy's family had 1 male 20-30 and 1 female 15-20. The female is probably Lydia Wright which would indicate that they were married before 1840. _____
