     William Bonnell Day Upon Day, p 42:

"In that year, 1607, probably after his father's death, Benjamin, Thomas's son, brought a letter from the Walloon Chruch at Norwich to the London Dutch Church. Benjamin was probably born in Flanders and died in London. The name of his wife and the date of their marriage are not recorded. He had a son, William, born about 1610 in England.

William Bonnel emigrated to America in 1638 settling at New Haven, Connecticut. Soon after his arrival he married Anne Wilmot, born 1614 in England. He took the oath of fidelity in 1648. He was a farmer and mechanic. Anne Wilmot was the daughter of Benjamin and Anne Wilmot. She died in New Haven in May, 1654. William returned to England at some later date and died there. Their children were: ...

1. Benjamin, b. 1642
2. Nathaniel, b. 1648
3. Lydia, b. 1649

There is a child of Jeremiah Durand baptized 16 Jun 1785 (with two of Ebenezer Durand's) at St James, Derby, CT, which is surprising since Jeremiah is living in VT by this time. Jeremiah was born at Derby, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 8 August 1749.^3,4,5 He was baptized at Oxford Congretational Church, Oxford, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 13 August 1749.

     Zerviah (Zuruiah) Durand [Du20] Durand Family, p 26: "Unmarried." Zerviah was born at Derby, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 5 November 1756.^2,3,4,5 Zerviah died on 19 September 1777 at Oxford, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, at age 20. "Oxford Church Record".^6,7

     John Durand [Du21] I do not for sure that this is the John Durand that married Betsy Clark in Oxford 2 Sep 1811, but he fits. He's the right age, he was born and died in the Derby area, and he is son of early Oxford settler John Durand. John was born at Derby, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 2 February 1758.^1,2 He married Betsy Clark at Quaker Farms, Oxford, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 2 September 1811.³ John died on 23 April 1826 at Derby, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, at age 68.⁴

     George Washington Durand (Du143) History of Benton County, Iowa, p 480:

"DURAND, GEORGE W., Eagle Flouring Mills; born in Litchfield Co., Conn., July 31, 1811; lived there twenty-three years, and learned the milling business; removed to Michigan, and was engaged in cabinet business and farming; he came to Benton Co., by wagon, with ox team and horse, team being six weeks on the way, and arrived here in June, 1853; they were early settlers located at Cedar and engaged in farming; he has been engaged in milling business for past six years; has held office of Justice of the Peace, town and school offices. Married Laura A. Waterman, from Ohio, in 1836; they have two children - Mrs. Helen Kimball and Carrie; they have lost nine sons; he had two sons in the army - Robt. was in 13th Iowa V. I. and was killed at Atlanta; Alonzo was in 9th Iowa V. C., and died at St. Louis."

Here is the 1850 MI Bronson, Branch Co, taken 27 Sep 1850 Census:

"26/26 Geo W Durand 39M Farmer 1200 Conn
Laura " 32F Ohio
Daniel? " 10?M (12?) Mich 1 [=attended school during yr]
Robert " 7M Mich 1
Alonzo " 3?M (2? 5?) Mich"

And the 1840 MI version:

"G. W. Duran 2M <5 1M 20-30 1F 20-30"

George and Laura would account for the two 20 yr olds, and Daniel? would account for 1M <5 perhaps. But we are missing 1M <5.

The 1860 IA Census has this (from ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/census/ia/benton/1860/indx-d-h.txt):
