This family is prob. not of the German race and therefore has no relation to the family of Tewksbury twp., Hunterdon Co. It may be that the former is descended from the Waldensian FRANCOIS BONN, who came to this country about 1657. If this is so then MATTHEW, of Woodbridge, was prob. s. of CHRISTIAN and grandson of FRANCOIS and was bap. in New York, 4 April, 1659.
