An old friend, Spencer Kraybill, wrote "Pennsylvania's Pine Creek Valley and Pioneer Families"
which contains a lot of info on the Bonnell family. I first met Spence in 1960 in Jersey Shore, PA. He was a plumber
at the Lewisburg Federal Pennitentary, and subsequently started a plumbing business in Northern Virginia. I lost track
of him after that, but apparently he later moved up Pine Creek. Steve Bonnell put the Bonnell info on his website at
http://www.kbsb.com/kraybill/.
