Father: Anum Bonum, b: 1596, in England. Mother: Unknown. David W. Eaton states in his book (op cit) "Samuel Bonum is said to have come from Kinsale, Ireland.. It is known that he named the first tract of land he patented "Kinsal" in Westmoreland County." ...Whether Samuel was descended from English or Irish forebrears has not been determined; Bonum is not a common name in Ireland but is frequently seen in Essex, England records. no record of his birth has been found in either England or Ireland, however. There is also some question as to exactly when Samuel Bonum arrived in Virginia. Three early references to a Samuel Bonham in records of Northumberland County probably referred to the same man we know as Samuel Nonum since the name Bonham disappears after 1660 and from there on there are numerous references made in the records to Samuel Bonum. Samuel Bonham was the recipient of Virginia land patent in 1633, but the precise location of the property has not been determined. Samuel Bonham is listed as a witness in a law suit in Northumberland County 22 Aug 1655. (Record Book 14, p. 56) Samuel Bonham is again mentioned in a a law suit 14 Nov 1660. when he took William Thomas to court for failure to pay his rent. (Northumberland County. Order Book 2, p 133). Samuel owned at least three tracts of land in Westmorelandd county. David W. Eaton in Historical Atlas of Westmoreland county, Virginia mentions 99 acres patented 13 Oct 1665, on Lynch's Point; 288 acres acquired from Mrs. Joane Philpott, mother of his wife Margaret, located on "the south side of Bonum's Creek" across the creek from Pecatone and undetermined acreage in what is now Colonial Beach. according to Nugent's Cavaliers and Pioneers, Volume lII.
