Sarah (Bonine) Hadley is the descendant of a Huguenot emigrant.

Biography

Sarah was a Friend (Quaker)

The only daughter of French Huguenot descendant, Daniel Bonine, and his 2nd wife, Sarah (Miller) Bonine (1749-1774); Sarah Bonine is said to have married "Evan Jones" but no date or children are listed in the "Bonines in America" book. Sarah's mother, Sarah Miller, was a Quaker. She died when her only daughter was still an infant. Young father Daniel Bonine remarried in 1779 to another Quaker, Mary Copeland. He and his family converted to the Quaker faith in 1774, following young Sarah's birth. Sarah Bonine was raised as a Quaker and both of her husbands were also Quakers. She lived a long and fruitful life to 91 years old and was twice widowed.^[1]

Sarah Bonine's birth and death information is given on The Lindeschmidt/Lindesmith Tree on RootsWeb - Sarah Bonine .

Sarah Bonine accompanied her family when they left York County, Pennsylvania, in 1794 to help found a Quaker community in eastern Tennessee (it became a state in 1796). It's possible that fellow-Quaker Evan Jones, Sr., b: 1740 in Pennsylvania, knew the Bonine family in Pennsylvania but he had already moved south before the American Revolution. He married Mary "Miriam" Crafford (aka Crawford) in Orange County, North Carolina on 14 Nov. 1765. They had 9 children there before moving to what became Greene County, Tennessee, as early as 1785, when it was still wilderness and still considered part of North Carolina. His 2nd son, Evan Jones Jr., was born September 19, 1770 in Guildford, North Carolina, and moved to eastern Tennessee with his family as a child.

Rev. William Stanberry married widower Evan Jones Jr. to newcomer Sarah Bonine on July 17, 1794, in Greene County, Tennessee.^[2] They had 9 children born in Tennessee from 1795 to 1814 and 2 more born at Lick Creek MM, Orange County, Indiana, between 1816 and 1820. Some died as children.^[3]
The 11 children of Evan Jones Jr. & Sarah (Bonine) Jones:

1. James JONES b: 18 APR 1795 in Greene County, Tennessee
2. Isaac Bonine JONES b: 18 FEB 1797 in Greene Co., Tennessee
3. John JONES b: 24 JAN 1799 in Greene County, Tennessee
4. David JONES b: 2 JUL 1801 in Greene County, Tennessee
5. Samuel JONES b: 24 MAY 1803 in Greene County, Tennessee
6. Sarah JONES b: 5 MAY 1808 in Greene County, Tennessee
7. Mary Jane JONES b: 20 NOV 1805 in Blount Co., Tennessee
8. Evan JONES b: 24 SEP 1811 in Blount County, Tennessee
9. Lucinda Macy JONES b: 8 FEB 1814 in Blount Co., Tennessee
10. Isaac Bonine JONES b: 7 JUL 1817 Lick Creek MM, Orange, IN
11. William Miller JONES b: 4 AUG 1820 Lick Creek MM, Orange, IN

As noted above, Sarah & Evan Jones Jr., moved their family, along with many other of their fellow Quakers, from slave-holding Tennessee to the new, non-slavery, territory of Indiana. They settled in Orange County, where other North Carolina Quakers had established Lick Creek MM as early as 1813. Evan Jones Jr. died on their farm near Lick Creek, Orange County, Indiana, on September 1, 1822. He is said to have been buried at the Beech Grove Cemetery in Paoli Twp., Orange Co., Indiana, but most-likely in an unmarked grave as modern-day searches for his burial site have been in vain.^{[4] [5]}

Sarah (Bonine) Jones, survived her husband's passing, raising their young children with the help of the Quaker community at Lick Creek MM. On August 12, 1829, widow Sarah (Bonine) Jones remarried to fellow Quaker, Joshua Hadley, b: 1763 in NC. A widower with a grown son, he had a farm near Mooresville, Morgan County, Indiana. Sarah moved there with her younger children. The couple were married at White Lick New Meeting in Morgan County, Indiana, 80 miles north of Orange County. ^[6]

Sarah Bonine Jones-Hadley was again widowed May 12, 1853 when Joshua Hadley passed away in Morgan County, Indiana, at 89 years old. She then moved northwest to Hendricks County, Indiana, doubtlessly living with one of her children. She died at nearly 92 years old on September 11, 1865 in Plainfield, Hendricks Co., Indiana. She was buried in Mill Creek Cemetery, near Danville, Indiana, USA next to an historic Quaker Meeting House.^[7][8]
