I'm looking for information on the second wife of William H. Bonnett (born 12 Oct 1822 in Lewis Co. West Virginia, died 15 Apr 1884 in Marion Co, Iowa) and Mary A. ??? (born 22 Feb 1837 in Indiana, died 2 Apr 1902 in Jackson Co., Oregon). I think that they were probably married in Iowa or Indiana about 1863.

Mary is also known as Mary A Brittain, Mary Ann Britt, Mary Britt, Mary Reed, Mary Burnett and Mary A Bonnit.

Mary married Daniel Proctor Brittain (b 25 Jun 1825 in Indiana, d 11 Mar 1910 in Jackson Co., Oregon) in Jackson Co., Oregon around 1890. She was the second wife of Daniel, his first wife was Mary L. Garrison. Daniel and Mary appear in the 1900 census for Jackson Co, Oregon.

I think her second marriage has caused confusion regarding her last name, hence many references to her as Mary Ann Britt.

I have a photo of "Grandmother Bonnett and her father great-grandfather Venator". The notes are on the back of the picture appear to be written by my great grandmother Hazel Gladys Bonnett.

I think that Mary is the daughter of Benjamin Venator and Ann Maxwell. The family is found in 1850 Census for Knox, Illinois. I have not been able to prove or disprove the idea. I'm looking for information about Mary and her parents.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
