Note: CENSUS DATA: The 1870 federal census, Clay Co., AL, Ashland, p. 7, taken 3 August 1870 shows a F. R. Bonner, female, age 30, born AL living in the home of Thomas S. and Lucinda Bonner.
COMMENTARY: After several years of looking for Frances Rosene Gamble Bonner, wife of William Smith Bonner, it is now known that the F. R. Bonner, female, age 30, born AL, shown above in the 1870 census is in fact, Frances Rosene Gamble Bonner living in the home of her inlaws. Also living in the home were: M. L., female, age 13, born GA; W. V., male, age 11, born GA; John, male, age 8, born GA; F. S., female, age 6, born GA. These are the children of Frances Rosene & William Smith Bonner. M.L. is Mary L. Bonner; W.V. is William Underwood Bonner; John is John T. Bonner, and F.S. is Frances Smith Bonner.

CENSUS DATA: The 1880 federal census, Clay Co., AL, Ashland, Dist 36, taken 9 June 1880 shows Fannie R. Bonner, head, age 42, widowed, born AL. Also living in the home were: Willie Bonner, son, age 21, born AL, and farming; John T. Bonner, son, age 18, born Al and farming. The census record is too dark to read, so other information was not available.
COMMENTARY: This record finally confirms that William Smith Bonner was deceased by 1880, thereby confirming the idea that William probably perished in the Civil War.
NOTE: We have further learned that William Smith Bonner died on or about 14 Jun 1862 based on hand transcribed note by his father, Thomas S. Bonner, Jr and administrator of William Smith Bonner's estate.
