Am searching for ANY info regarding the family of Bonnell Ponteaux? Coachman who was residing in the Donaldsonville, Seminole Co, GA area in the early to mid 1900's. Any info would be appreciated. He had a son named, Bonnell P. Coachman, Jr. who was in the Army Air Corps, mar. Peggy Askew in 1946 in Columbus, Muscogee Co, GA and died about 1947/48 in air accident. Jr. had a son who is the father of my son. I would like info on this family to add to my son's family tree. I have been working on my family for a number of years and have amassed quite a bit of info. Would like to have info for him when he gets older. He loves to hear the stories about my family!!!!!!!
Any help anyone could give me regarding dates, names, places, etc would be very helpful!!! I don't know enough about this family to pursue it. Thanks in advance!!! Please email me directly with any pertinent or impertinent info!!!! Or, can post to the list. Patricia Cantrell, Columbus, GA PACA1509@aol.com or pacant1104@hotmail.com

Dear Patricia,
Perhaps I can help a little. I know that Bonnell Ponteaux Coachman was born 21 Feb. 1922, in Donalsonville, GA, son of Bonnell Villaponteaux Coachman and Ruth Butler. He had five sisters - he was the only boy. He attended the Citadel 9 Sept 1940 and dropped out 18 Sept. 1941. Bonnell married Peggy Askew in June 1946 and as you know was killed in Dec 1947.
He had one son Bonnell Ponteaux Coachman born the 10th of April 1948. Peggy married William Graham Love in 1950. I thought that he adopted Bonnell and changed his name to Love. Bonnell (Love?), married Nancy Bishop in 1968 and had a child Margaret.
Is this the same Bonnell who is the father of your son?
Bette

Hi Bette!
Forgot that on lists, supposed to reply back to the list. I sent you an email. Yes, that is the Bonnell Love that is my son's father. I would love any info that you could give me on this family or at least a direction to go into. Was Bonnell, SR b. in GA? Is he out of those SC Coachman's I see quite a bit of in my research? Thanks again for the info you sent me. I knew some of the dates. Thanks again for the info!! Patricia
