    Sergeant Nicholas Bonham was born about 1630 and was probably the son of George Bonham and his first wife. Some genealogists believe he was George’s brother, rather than his son.

    He married Hannah Fuller on January 1, 1658 in Barnstable, Essex County, Massachusetts. Their children and life together are described in detail in the section on Nicholas and Hannah Bonham.

    He signed the Oath of Allegiance in 1672. He was approved Sergeant in 1681. Nicholas named the town of Bonhamtown in Woodbridge Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey. It is five miles northeast from New Brunswich.

    He died on July 20, 1684 in Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey. His will was proved on December 18, 1684.
    Barnstable County, Massachusetts consists of Cape Cod and its associated islands. It was settled in 1638.

    Before 1752 the year began on March 25th. Dates between January 1st and March 24th were at the end of the year, not the beginning.

    Piscataway Township, New Jersey was first settled in 1666 by Quakers and Baptists who had left the Puritan colony in New Hampshire.
