JOHN ANDREW BONZO: CENSUS: 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920
"Beaver County, Pa. Marriages 1830--1873 from Beaver County Newspapers" gives wedding date but lists Martha as Maria. Rev. J. Z. Moore presided. The 1993 IGI update gives wedding date and also lists Martha as Maria.
John and Martha had a farm of 175 acres in Rochester, New Sewickley township and 1 adult child according to the 1917 Beaver County Farm Directory
MARTHA JANE OLIVER: CENSUS: 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920
Marriage year in Warner's 1888 History of Beaver County. See also Beaver county marriage index for 1830-73. LDS IGI has marriage on 23 Dec 1868.
So we end up with conflicting marriage dates, for now. December 23, 1868, Unionville, Beaver County, Pa. or November 19, 1868, Unionville, Beaver County, Pennsylvania
John and Martha are buried together at Oak Grove Cemetery in Freedom, Pa. They share a stone which reads "John Bonzo 1855 - 1925 Martha J. his wife 1850 - 1927"
