From US Civil War Soldier Records and Profiles: John Bonnett, Danville, Illinois, enlisted 15 August 1862 as a Private, served from 3 September 1862 until mustered out on 9 June 1865 at Washington, DC.
From the Civil War Pension Index: General Index to Pension Files, 1861-1934. John Bonnet applied to invalid pension, 17 April 1890. Mary applied to widow pension 28 April 1909.
John's mother may have been Matilda, b.abt 1800, who married a second time to James G. Cunningham. See marriage record and 1850 census.

[2] - LKH note:
There are two children buried in the Cline/Milner Cemetery that have a high probability of being two children of Mary and John Bonnett.
Currently they are labeled with the surname of Bonned, but the photo of the headstone could be read as Bonnett instead.
However, their dates of death and ages at death are too close together and therefore problematic for being the children of the same parents.
