  • Notes: 

  • Nicholas Bonham's father has been said to be George Bonham of Plymouth. However, doubt has been cast upon this claim and no evidence other than the same surname has been found to support it.

    No evidence has been found to support claims that Nicholas Bonham is the son of George Bonham, or that he had sons named Nicholas and Elijah.
