  Notes:

The other children of this James Bonwell have been determined from the will of his son James Bonwell, the third, who died unmarried in 1721, leaving an only brother John Bonwell to inherit the land and carry on the line (Wills, Deeds & c 1715-1729, p. 320). This James left 100 acres of land to his mother, Mary Huebank. He named sisters as Elisabeth Bonwell, Mary Wise, Sarah Wise and Susanna Mychell and his brother John Bonwell. (Miles Files)

On Sep 17 1675, James Bonewell requested Tho. Fowks as his guardian. The court ordered that Roger Mikeel, the former guardian, deliver Bonewell's estate to Fowkes, who gave security according to the law. Ordered that Bonewell remain with Roger Mikeel till the middle of October. (Accomack Co.)
