Thomas S. Bonner was born in Dinwiddie County in 1793, the son of Chappel Heath Bonner and his wife, Priscilla. Chappel Bonner came to Hancock County, Georgia, in 1802 and died there in 1806, at which time Robert H. Bonner was appointed guardian of Thomas, James, and Polly P., "orphans of Chappel Bonner." Robert H. appears to have been an uncle of these children, as were Hubert and James Bonner. If this surmise is correct, Chappel Bonner was the son of William Bonner of Prince George County, Virginia. William's father in turn probably was John Bonner. (A land deed of Prince George County in 1827 transferred title from John "to my son William").

Thomas S. Bonner was married to Patsy Cleveland in Morgan County in 1814. A deed record of that year shows that he removed to Morgan from Jasper County in the same year of his marriage and acquired lots 246 and 247 in the Fifteenth District, which was just north of Little River not far from the homestead of Thomas Bonner (b. 1779)....

Thomas S. Bonner's will was probated in Morgan County in 1869. His children were Thomas, James, Benjamin, William Smith, Leonidas, Franklin, Pleasant Stovall, Marcus Aurelius, and Judson. Most of the above children remained in Georgia. However, William Smith (February 9, 1821 - March 6, 1907) married Mary Elizabeth Durden in Morgan County in 1851 and a little later, with his brother Marcus Aurelius, he moved to northern Louisiana, settling near Homer in Claiborne Parish.
