About the Database

The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System contains just an index of the men who served in the Civil War with only rudimentary information from the service records (including name, rank and unit in which they served). The full service records are housed at the National Archives and Records Administration.

Additionally, all records in this database have been transcribed from the National Archives' original documents; alternate names and/or misspellings are recorded as initially documented. The database includes many spelling variations of "Bonney" including: Bonny, Boney, Bony, Booney, Benney, Bonner, Barney, and others.

Notable Service

One notable family member who served in the Civil War was Edward William Bonney (1807-1864), who enlisted in the 127th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment at age 56. He participated in General Grant's Mississippi River Campaign, including the Siege of Vicksburg, where he received a paralyzing leg wound. He was medically discharged in December 1863 and died in February 1864 as a result of his war injuries.
