I am looking for information regarding Rev. Edward Eden Bonta, b. 18 Sept. 1844, probably in Jefferson County, Indiana. He married Elizabeth Mathis (or Matthews) 21 Sept. 1865 in Madison County, Indiana. He died 25 Aug. 1908, probably in Ireland, Dubois County, Indiana. He is buried at the Shiloh Pioneer Cemetery in Ireland, Dubois County, Indiana.

I am searching for his parents and/or any siblings.

According to census records, he was living with the family of John Matthews (Mathis) in Shelby Twp., Jefferson County, Indiana in 1850, at the age of 5. He is also living with this family on the 1860 census in the same place.

I have a web site: www.potrafke.net/bonta. My email address is genealogylove@gmail.net, please put MIH Bonta Family in the subject line.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
