Hello Larry,
I am only familiar with the Bono you mentioned that is in Lawrence Co. I
hadn't heard of Toronto, Indiana before. I was curious and did a
Mapquest.com search. It lists another Bono in Vermillion Co., near the
Illinois line. I then searched "toronto, indiana" in mapquest and it's in
the same spot.
I hope this helps you,
Roger Lester

While reading a article about a Kansas church I read the following account.
In 1866 a 11 wagon train left Bono, Indiana, Now called Toronto, for
Bourbon
County Kansas. Was there a town call Bono and changed its name to Toronto
after 1866?
I live in Bono Township in Lawrence County and there is a small community
called Bono close by. Most likely the oldest community in Lawrence County.
