[I have corrected this document for obvious spelling mistakes and typographical errors. I have also made some formatting changes I think will make the text easier to understand. I have made no substantive changes to the text. Finally, I {Gregg Bonner} converted it to HTML.]

 

Robert Hicks married Miss Irby (should be Irwin) of Virginia.  One of their daughters married a Reeves, another, Sarah, was left in her care.  She treated her as a menial.  John Bonner of English descent fell in love with her.  He stole her from her sister. In her flight she left her wardrobe.  He purchased her trousseau for her and they were married at church.  Robert Hicks, a third child, inherited the landed estate.  He founded the town of Hicksford, in Sussex County, VA.

Sarah, the wife of John Bonner, was a woman of unusual strength and decision of character.  She was noted for her strong will and independent spirit.  Her husband at one time went to Petersburg and had the necessary writings drawn up to free his many negroes.  When he reached home that night, and told his wife of it, she was indignant, and told him that she did not consider it safe to remain on the place with a set of free negroes so she got up and started to walk to her son Robert's home but being at that time old and feeble, and it being in the night, she was unable to reach the house although she had crawled part of the way.  She called repeatedly to her son to come to her aid.  He and his wife were seated around the fireside.  He heard her cry and said, "wife, that is my Mother's voice I hear, I must go to her".  Sarah belonged to the English Church. She, in company with her son Robert, started to go to church.  She was riding a wild, untamed, colt, that no woman had ever attempted to ride before.  Suddenly she let the bridle reins fall on the colts neck, raising her hands aloft and clasping them together exclaimed; "It is so"! "What is so?" exclaimed Robert. "That we must have a change of heart before we can be saved" she replied.

After the death of her husband, she went to live with Robert.  She was then very old.  One day she was sitting before the fire engaged in knitting.  She said to her son; "Tomorrow I will be sitting in this same seat with my knitting in my hand and just as the clock strikes ten, my soul will have taken flight".  Robert remained about the house the next day and as the clock struck ten, she breathed her last.  She had twelve or fourteen children by John Bonner.  I here-with furnish the names of twelve, and the names of those they married, and the names and number of their children as far as I know.

1st: John, who married Polly Bonner, his cousin.  A daughter of theirs married a Mr. Chappell.  I think the Price family who resides seven miles west of Somerville, Alabama, are their descendants.  John Bonner's second wife was a Smith (Daughter of Isham Smith as noted in his will).  The names of their daughters were Elizabeth, Mary, Lucy and Drusilla.  John Bonner's third wife was a sister of his second.  Their daughter, Mary, married Claibourn Wright.

One of her (Malvina's) daughters married Mason of Athens, Alabama.

John Bonner also had a daughter, Elizabeth, who first married Asa Allen, a widower.  Her second husband was Mr. Binford.  She was a stylish elegant lady, a splendid housekeeper.  She died childless. Her sister Mary's children inherited her property.

Robert Wright married Sarah Darwin and left five (she gives 6 names here though) daughters. (1st) Mary, who married Ford Hulett, a Methodist preacher on the Athens Alabama circuit at the present time (2 February 1895). They had five children: Mamie, Fannie, Ford, Robert and one other.  Robert Wright's two daughters (2nd) Irene and (3rd) Fannie died young. (4th) Sallie and (5th) Bettie who married Jackson Rose and has no children.  At this time she resides in a large roomy house surrounded by many rare and beautiful hothouse plants.  Her Post Office address is Trinity, Alabama.  Another daughter (?)

As soon as they were at home, he exclaimed, "I saw my future wife today."  He was asked to describe her and when he did so they exclaimed, "Why it is Rhoda Ham, we know she would just suit you." After Charles married Rhoda their happiness was complete, but alas, after the birth of her first child, she had puerperal fever and her mind was never restored.  Charles' devotion never wavered.  He slept with each of their little babes in his arms at night and watched over them with a Mother's devotion while his meek and gentle wife was cared for, petted, and caressed as fondly as ever.
