Biographical Details:

Joseph Bonham was the son of William and Betsy Williams Bonham and was probably born in Wythe County, Virginia, about 1797 or 1798.  It appears that he moved with his family to neighboring Grayson County, Virginia, in the first decade of the nineteenth century and married Tabitha Russell on August 29, 1822.  They were married by Rev. Jonathan Thomas and this was evidently a double wedding since Joseph's sister, Anna, married Tabitha's brother, William, on the same day.¹  There is no evidence that after their marriage Joseph and Tabitha Russell Bonham ever lived outside of Grayson County.  Indeed, Joseph was assessed tax on one tithable and two horses in 1824 and on one tithable and two horses, again, in 1828.  The household of Joseph Bonham appeared in the population schedule of the 1830 US Census for Grayson County and at that time consisted of seven individuals, viz, one adult male between thirty and forty years of age, one adult female between twenty and thirty, one male child between five and ten, three female children under five, and one female child between five and ten years of age.  Obviously, the adults correspond to Joseph and Tabitha themselves.  Likewise, the older female child can be confidently identified as Hannah, Joseph and Tabitha's oldest daughter.  Similarly, the male child must have been their son, William, and the three younger females their daughters, Elizabeth, Rebecca, and Ludema.  In 1835, Joseph Bonham was assessed tax in Grayson County on one tithable and three horses and was issued a land grant for ninety-one acres on waters of big Foxe Creek apparently adjoining the property of his father.²  Subsequently, on October 30, 1837, he was issued two land grants, one for twenty-four and one for forty acres, again, on waters of Big Fox Creek.  Within this context, Ms. Trula Purkey stated in her history of the Bonham family that, "The Tax Lists for the year 1838 for Grayson County, Virginia show Joseph Bonham paying taxes on 144 acres, 91 of these acres located on Big Fox Creek and 50 acres on waters of Fox Creek.  In 1839, Joseph Bonham was listed as having property located on Big Fox Creek and waters of Big Fox Creek in the amount of 296 acres."  Ms. Purkey further stated that ten years later, tax records of 1848 indicated that Joseph was the owner of three parcels, viz., ninety-one acres on Fox Creek, one hundred and fourteen acres on waters of Big Fox Creek, and three hundred and fifty-seven acres on Guffy Creek.  Obviously, the ninety-one acres must correspond to his land grant of 1835, but the remaining land parcels cannot be as easily identified.

According to the 1840 Grayson County population schedule there were two adults and seven children living in the household of Joseph Bonham.  Again, Joseph and and his wife, Tabitha, can be identified with an adult male between forty and fifty and an adult female between thirty and forty.  However, they apparently had nine living children at this time; hence, the population schedule does not account for at least two them.  Within this context, the four youngest children, Ephraim, Rosamond, Eveline, and Allen, accord well with the population schedule.  Of course, the additional male child can be identified as William.  In addition, it is known that Hannah Bonham had married Abraham Shuler in 1839 and, thus, was probably not living in her parents' home.  Therefore, it would seem that one of the three middle daughters was not present in the household.  Since, it is reasonably certain that none of them had died by 1840, it is plausible that one of the daughters was living with another family, perhaps, as a hired servant, but this is merely speculative.  Subsequently, the household of Joseph and Tabitha Bonham was listed in the population schedules of both 1850 and 1860.  Of course, by this time many of their children had married and were also living with families of their own close by in Grayson County.  Furthermore, Joseph seems to have become well-to-do by the 1860's because according to the 1863 Land Tax List for Grayson County, he was assessed on a total of eight hundred and seventy acres on two parcels located on Middle and Big Fox Creeks.  This is further supported by a land grant issued to Joseph Bonham on August 1, 1861, for seven hundred and seventy-six acres.³  It is likely that the purpose of this grant was to provide a clear title to the entire parcel since, in addition to a new survey made on June 1, 1858, several previous grants and conveyances involving Joseph's father, William Bonham, as well as other individuals, were described.  Possibly, he may have done this to settle any boundary disputes he might have had with his neighbors.  Alternatively, in the political confusion and disorder that preceded secession of Virginia and the advent of the Civil War, Joseph may have thought it prudent to remove any defects in title of his land holdings.  Moreover, although there is no evidence that the Bonham family ever owned slaves, it seems that all three of Joseph and Tabitha Russell Bonham's sons served with Confederate forces during the Civil War.^4,5  Indeed, most southerners were not slave owners but, nevertheless, generally supported the Confederacy.  Accordingly, Ms. Purkey summarizes the service of one of their sons as follows, "Allen Bonham served in Company C, 63rd Regiment, Virginia Infantry.  He fought in battles in North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee.  He was wounded in the hip and in the hospital in Greensboro, North Carolina, when the surrender took place."  As with most of the male residents of Grayson County in the nineteenth century, Joseph Bonham was a farmer.  Even so, by 1870 it appears he had retired and that he and his wife were living with the family of their youngest son, Allen, although probably still on the "homeplace", the son having taken over.  Evidently, this arrangement must have been congenial since, according to the 1880 census population schedule, Joseph and Tabitha remained in the household of Allen Bonham and his family.  Joseph Bonham died on February 22, 1881, and was buried in the Old Bonham Cemetery.  Again, citing Ms. Purkey, "Today one can stand on the knoll near the 'Old Bonham Cemetery' and look down into the beautiful valley and see the Joseph Bonham mansion house.  Remains of the old road leading from the Fox Creek road along Guffy Creek to the Joseph Bonham estate can still be seen and is still partially used."
