Ralph Lomax (1600-1649), a vintner was head of a family at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England. The first record found to date about Ralph is for his marriage at All Saints church. That record reads "Rauph Lomaxe" married "Susann Cloughe" on 8 July 1619. [Archaeologia Aeliana, ser. 3, vol. 2, Newcastle upon-Tyne, 1906. pp 33-61]
Ralph and Susanna Lomax had the following children, christening records for whom are found in the parish records of All Saints church: Timothie (23 May 1620), Margaret, Mary, Jane, Thomas (24 June 1630), Margaret, (Rev.) John, Ralph, Edward, Moses, Susan, Henry, Cleborne. Both Thomas and Cleborne Lomax emigrated to Maryland, Thomas before 13 Jan. 1657 when he gave a deposition regarding the estate of John Slingsby (Cleborne and his wife Blanch immigrated to Charles County, Maryland, in 1668 ["CCM COURT RECORDS," Book G-1 p. 3]): Thomas was a backer of Josias Fendall, who seized the government in 1658, and during the Fendall experiment he was clerk of the court from January 1659/60 to November 1660. Thomas was an active merchant and attorney in St Mary's and Charles counties until his death in about 1680.
It is this Thomas whom an earlier researcher "found" as the brother of Elizabeth in the reference: [Taylor, John, m. by 1658, Elizabeth, sister of Thomas Lomax of CH Co. (CHLR E#1:39 F#1:4)]. I am afraid that I too have used this reference to infer that Thomas Lomax did indeed have a sister Elizabeth, even though no record of her christening is to be found in the All Saints parish register. I am therefore deeply indebted to Norma Fiske Lundgren for her close reading of these records and her analysis showing that Elizabeth was not his sister.
The following information may provide a basis for further research into the statement that "Thomas Lomax was the "loving brother" of Henry Bonner, and that Elizabeth Bonner was the relict of John Taylor by 1658." The marriage of Thomas' mother Susannah to Thomas Bonner could be a lead to an alternate explanation of "loving brother."
After Ralph's death, Susanna married Thomas Bonner on 24 September 1657. He was three times Mayor of Newcastle. He died in October 1660.
"During the troubled times that followed the restoration of king Charles II, Mrs. Bonner threw in her lot with those who did not conform to the religion as by law established, and the following extract shows us the company she was in on a Sunday morning in July, 1669: 'Before Ralph Jenison, Mayor of Newcastle, Cuthbert Nicholson, cordwainer, saith, that upon sunday last there was assembled at the house of Wm. Dewrant's in Pilgraham streete, a great multitude of people, consisting to the number of 150 persons or thereaboutes, under the pretence of religious worship and service, for he heard them sing psalmes. And after singing was done, he did see and heare the said William Dewrant pray amongst the said people. And Robert Fryzer one of the serjeants-att-mace, being with the churchwardens of the same parish did in the name of Mr. Mayor discharge them there unlawfull assembly, and upon that, they dispersed themselves. Amongst whom was Geo. Thursby, draper, and his wife, ....... Suzann Bonner, widow,' and many others."
I have not attempted to find the names of the children of Thomas Bonner by his first marriage.
