Andrew Samuel Bonner, son of Dr. John Bonner and Eliza Feribry Williams, was born 24 July 1835 in Wilcox Co., AL. He was named for two of his father's brothers. He moved to Freestone County, TX with his parents. Andrew Samuel Bonner married his first cousin Sue Bonner on 2 May 1856 at Stewards Mill, Freestone Co., TX. Their plantation in Bonnerville was known as the "White House Place"---known as the only house in the area to be painted white---and was burned by raiders during the Civil War while he was serving in the CSA Cavalry.

When he died 9 September 1865, he was buried in Fairfield, TX but his body was exhumed in 1867 and moved to the newly created Bonner Cemetery.
