JOHN BONNETT

John Bonnett, of Marysville, Ohio, was born in Ohio County, W. Va., November 8, 1808. He is a son of Lewis and Jane (McClain) Bennett. He was raised on the farm, and had but few educational advantages. He adopted the occupation of a farmer, and has spent the whole of his life at that honorable avocation. He was married May 2, 1832, to Ann Maria Davis, daughter of Isaac and Keziah (Askew) Davis, who were of German descent. This union was blessed with an issue of seven children, of whom only three now survive, viz.: Ralph S., Keziah Ryan and William. Mr. Bonnett is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and a Republican in politics. He has met with well merited success in his farm operations, and has lived to reach a ripe old age. Three of his sons answered the call of their country to protect its flag when threatened by the traitorous hands of rebellious subjects.
