Before he (Anthony/Anthoine III) died, he gave his son 609 acres in St. Thomas and St. Denis Parish to which the younger Bonneau added holdings of 704 acres obtained by grant and 1,640 acres by purchase. Bonneau lived on a 400 acres plantation on the Wando River which he purchased in 1743 and at the time of his death owned 51 slaves. He served St. Thomas & St. Denis as a tax inquirer and collector (1734); commissioner, to regulate patrols in the lower portion of the parish (1734); and member of the Sixteenth Royal Assembly (1747).
