Peter George Bonawitz, (7/17/1824-9/30/1895) 
m. Mary Ann (Amanda), —--—-- (5/27/1827-9/16/1884) 
    At Linglestown Pa, in 1856, Peter G. Bonawitz and wife Mary Ann 
    Bonawitz sold land to settle the estate of Peter Bonawitz (1784-
    1852). George Bonawitz and wife Amanda were in census records of 
    Carroll County Illinois in 1850 and 1860. In 1870 and 1880 the 
    same family was in Marshall County, Iowa, living near William 
    Bonawitz of chapter 7. A history of the Linglestown area says 
    that Peter Bonawitz went to Iowa, and it is believed that the 
    George Bonawitz who is buried in La Moille Cemetery in Marshall 
    County Iowa is the man known as Peter G. Bonawitz in Pennsylvania. 
    George was a farmer. He moved to Iowa about 1865. He left no will.

     tracing was listed in the 1870 census Jones County, Wayne Twp Iowa.
