Benjamin South

Keziah (_____)

Benjamin South:

Keziah (_____):

Children:

1. Mary South

2. James South

3. Lydia South

4. Charlotte South

5. Benjamin South

6. Ezekiel South

NOTES: Gee, op. cit. Helen Almy West, A History of Hamilton Township, Mercer County, New Jersey (1954). Donald W. South. The line becomes clouded at this point. That Mary was a daughter of Benjamin and Keziah is proved by the Bible of Oakey Van Arsdale/Vanosdol (op. cit.), and further evidenced by the naming patterns, with Benjamin, Keziah, and Lydia coming into the Vanosdol family names. William Malkin warns us of the many Benjamin, Daniel, and Joseph Souths present in the area of Windsor township, to be absolutely certain of the descent, with the absence of explicit wills to rely on. He thinks that the Benjamin named above might be a son of Joseph South, Sr.. This Joseph died about 1812. Donald South, another premier researcher of the South family, states that while the parents of Benjamin South are not known with certainty, he is "certainly the grandson of Thoms South and Dorothy Lippington South, his wife." The continued use of certain names in the particular area of concern is convincing to this researcher, even though certain corrections may surface regarding particular individuals. Basically; if Benjamin South is not this grandson, then he is another. Donald South also warns us explicitly that the Gee book is not to be trusted; it is replete with error and conjecture. Some conjecture is necessary in lieu of the wills, bibles, etc., that we rely on; and family names, locations, and usage can carry us to a point. However, Donald South worked closely with Mrs. Gee for some time, and reports that she ignored many of the records he supplied to her, and during his last contacts with her, seemed to be unaware of even possessing those records. At any rate, I basically follow the Malkin-D. South hypothoses; even if the parents of Benjamin are uncertain, the grandfather and his spouse may be taken up again with good faith (per the best records available). It is more than possible that he had more than one grandson named Benjamin; but once we hit Benjamin, we may feel sure we are back on track.

Thomas South

Children:

1. Thomas South

2. Edmund South

3. Joseph South

4. Daniel South

NOTES: Will mentions wife, Dorothy, and sons Joseph and Daniel, with goods and chattel to be shared (should Dorothy remarry) "amongst the rest of my children Share and Share alike..." Thomas was in Piscataway, New Jersey, prior to 1700. In 1707, he registered the earmark for his cattle. Constable of Perth Amboy, 1723, and of New Brunswick, 1724. Gee; Malkin; South (all op. cit.); Bruce Campbell MacGunnigle, C. G., Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, Vol. IV, "Dorothy (Lippington), dau. of Daniel and Hannah (Bonham), m. Thomas South and their 4 sons are descendants of Edward Fuller." The Lippington surname did not survive; a grandson of Thomas and Dorothy, named Lippington South, provides additional support for the South-Lippington marriage.

4. Elizabeth Bonham

5. Hezekiah Bonham

6. Samuel Bonham

7. Jane Bonham

8. Priscilla Bonham

9. Nicholas Bonham

10. Elijah Bonham

NOTES: Hazie, op. cit.; Bonham & Allin, op. cit., who begin with Nicholas, as hard evidence proving Nicholas to be a son of George has not been discovered. The link between Nicholas and George has been established, according to researcher Maudin, although the exact relationship is not proven -- were they brothers or father and son? George was transported from Colchester, England, to Virginia, 20 June 1635, at age 31. Mauldin feels that "It is much more rational, logical and has more to support that as a matter of fact he was the father of Nicholas Bonham..." and agrees with others that Miss Bishop was a first wife, and probably the mother of Nicholas. Schenck, Where the Raritan Flows, (1964); Mauly, History of Piscataway Townsship 1660-1976. Nicholas appears in the 1669 records of Piscataway. Built the first house in Bonhamtown, a 1 1/2 story frame house which stood for some 200 years. Received a grant of 122 acres in Middlesex County, New Jersy, 1678, having been in that state at least since the birth of Sarah, 1665. Took an oath of allegiance as Sergeant Bonham, 1681. Belonged to a military group under Captain Francis Drake. Founder of the Baptist Church, Bonhamtown, 1689.

NOTES: Bonham, Bonham & Related Family Lines, (1996); Huntington, A Genealogical Memoir of the Lothrop-Lathrop Family, (Connecticut: 1884); etc. The Fuller-Lathrop lines are among the most easily accessible of our best documented lines, on-line or off. Further references, which are numerous, will not be cited. It is of interest that Samuel is believed to be the last surviving passenger who came to America on bord the Mayflower, and that he was raised in the household of William Bradford, following his parents' death during the first, harsh winter of the Pilgrim's removal to America. Also of interest, Thomas was married to Jane Lothrop by Captain Miles Satndish, at the house of James Cudworth.
