From:(XXXXX@XXXX.XXX) (Curtis A. Mitchell)
I've recently learned that James Bonner and Mary Laird did not settle
in Burnt Corn (I'd always wondered how the family was able to bring
his body that distance to Hamburg). One of our family albums says that
they settled on Flat Creek and Flat Creek is not in Burnt Corn.
Recently I was in Monroe County and spoke with a researcher who has
published several booklets on the area, and she said that in all her
research she never found any Bonners in Burnt Corn (she knows
personally several of our cousins). Anyway I looked up James Bonner's
land patents and found that they really are not so far from Oak Hill.
They're just below McWilliams which is on the Wilcox-Monroe County
line. Flat Creek runs right through the land. Some friends of mine
live next to the land. I bought a little booklet on Conecuh county and
it explained that many settlements along the Federal Road were
designated Burnt Corn because the post office there served that area.
So, all these years we've thought that they lived where they DIDN'T.
Listed on the Nancy ship registration as age 14 in May to June of
1767.
