donbonnah20 — 2011-12-22 16:05:06Z

There was a Celia Bonnah/Bonin/Bonnin born to Joseph Bonnah and Mary Ward in 1852. That Joseph Bonnah was born abt 1812 but some records have him born as early as 1800. Celia married a George Letts. I have seen the name spelled many different ways but never Bannaugh. I have quite a bit of info on the Bonnahs if you wish to see it.

This John does have a NJ connection but to whom is unknown at this time. As far as I am aware he married Ann. Nancy was a nickname for Ann in those days where as today it is a name in its self. Then he married Elinor. You may have more info. indicating that Ann and Nancy were different wives. I am unfamiliar with Lydia. Please feel free to contact me. I would be interested in hearing more about this family. I think I have read some of your older posts. Please bring me up to date. There is reference to a will for John Letts of Webster. Do you by any chance have it or live in NY? He is associated with the names Lyons and Inman in early Webster history. These surnames did exist in NJ and we do have marriages into the NJ Inman family. So I am very curious.

John Letts was New Jersey born, died in 1872 at age 90 in Penfield (Webster) New York. He lived in the Penfield area from 1810 until his death in 1872. He had four different wives, first Ann, then Nancy, then Elnor, then Lydia. John Letts is buried in the Webster Rural Cemetary next to his second and third wives. Any one know his New Jersey connection? Also would like to know information about his first wife, Ann.

Re: The Letts family researching and recompiling

JaneAbsalom — 2010-05-25 19:16:27Z

Jean,
I do have this book but please let me know if you come across anything that may help with James and Mary Silver/s Letts in particular. I am sure there are plenty of sources out there that I may not have seen yet. I have found data on some other NJ families in Warren Co. in "The History of Warren County Ohio Part V. Biographical Sketches Union Township" (Chicago, IL: W. H. Beers Co, 1882; reprint, Mt. Vernon, IN: Windmill Publications, 1992) Page 1061. Familiar surnames are Perrine, Budd, Randolph, Laurence/Lawrence, Rogers, Lippincott, Engle, Silver/Silvers, Stokes, Barkalow/Buckelew, Wickoff/Wycoff, Tice, Cox, Borden, Crane, Emley, French, Hunt, Burrows, Haines, Lamb,
"ISAAC CAMPBELL, farmer; P. O. Oregon; was born in Salem Co., N. J., June 1, 1824, and is a son of James and Temperance (Bradford) Campbell, also natives of Salem Co., N.J." (note this is were Hannah "Silver" Letts's family was from) I know your Campbell's were from NY but Andrew found his way in to Hannah "Silver" Letts's family. (They owned a bit of land and in many parts of NJ.)
All these names are associated with the Monmouth, Ocean and Burlington Letts's either by marriage or location in NJ. So I feel this James Letts c. 1811 belongs with one of our Letts lines. I presently have James as a potential son of Campbell Letts son of James and Hannah Campbell with this James being son of Peter and Hannah "Silver" Letts. I am also aware of the distance between Ashtabula Co. and Warren Co. Ohio. I could be way off but it feels like a comfortable fit and deserves further research.
Thank you and keep in touch.
Jane

Yes, we have been in contact several times. I have just gone through all of my papers on the Letts. I find that Elisha's father is Peter and his mother is Hannah Silver.
I have not found any mention of a Samuel. Peter b 1707 in Cheesequake,South Amboy, Middlesex Co, NJ, Source-- Book "At the Headwaters of Cheesequake Creek" Madison Township Historical Society, 1979 There are a few books about the Letts Family. Hope this will prove helpful to you.

Re: The Letts family researching and recompiling

JaneAbsalom — 2010-05-24 21:22:20Z

Jean,
I know we have shared data before but I am curious as to whether you have come across a James Letts who married Mary Silver. They were born in NJ and moved to Warren Co. Ohio before settling in Jay Co. Indiana. James may have been born July 1811.

Re: The Letts family researching and recompiling

JaneAbsalom — 2010-05-24 21:01:12Z

Joann,
I did not have Peter connected to any one yet and John son of Daniel had no data but I do have a bit from Peter to Mable and Lynn Hilliker. If this rings a few bells I would love to hear more and possibly see a copy of your certificates. They may have some clues that I may recognize. These Letts'es have names and places that over lap with my NJ Letts'es. I believe they may be related but I have to warn you that I found connections to a line from possibly Germany who settled in East Pa. and also owned property in NY. They crossed the river into NJ often and can be traced heading west. In any event they will fit into my vol. of unlinkable Letts'es. and include those who once spelled the name as Litts Lutz Lotts etc. which eventually developed into the spelling of Letts.

I would love to have my Letts included in your research and find out how they relate to others.

My maternal grandmother was Mabel E. Letts born 1903 in Michigan, her father was Elmer E. Letts born 1869 in Indiana, his father was Peter S. Letts born 1840 New York, his father was John Letts born about 1810 New York, according to John's death certificate his father was Daniel Letts born in New Jersey.

Thanks! JoAnn Browning

I do not have any knowledge of any Indians. There are a lot of lines of Letts. I also show they made pottery and were son and son-in-law.
