Notes (analysis → people files)
- Locks the gen-5/gen-6 link: the parents column (John C. Bonnell × Emily Green) names [p.1015] + his wife and identifies the groom as their son [p.1145] — upgrading that L.4-tier descent to primary-source.
- John H. Bonnell b. ~1864 Toledo, Ohio (age 27, 1891) — fits the FaG "1864–1938" ([G.284]); shows the John-Cooper-Bonnell family in Toledo OH ~1864 before Michigan (John C. d. 1902 MI).
- Bride Helen A. Hackley of Muskegon (dau of Edwin Hackley × Mary Lewis) — married-in; no people file (peripheral, married-out Bonnell line).
