Lucy English Bonham

Mary English Southerland's sister.

I only know of two cemeteries called "English Cemetery" in Duplin County. One is that cemetery in the middle of the field near Hanchey's Store. I have a listing for it, and there are no Bonhams there. Madison Francis English is buried there. He was Lucy and Mary's half-brother. He was also the informant on this death certificate. He died in 1946.

The other "English Cemetery" is supposed to be on Stokestown Road. I do not have a listing for that one. If Lucy is buried there, then there should be other English family members there.
