Correspondence added December 29, 2006, Passengers 33 & 34, Bonner
Passenger #33 on board the ship Charles Wharton, arriving 
in the port of Philadelphia on November 24, 1832 is my 
GGG grandmother, Isabella Collins Bonner. She was travelling 
with her first born, John Bonner who was 10 months old at the 
time. 

She settled first in Phoenixville, PA where her husband, 
Francis Bonner was a spinner, who later had his own mill 
until the start of the Civil War.  

Isabella Bonner had 8 children, my GG grandfather, David Bonner 
(b. 1834 or 35) being one of them.
