Paine remained in France until 1802, returning to the United States only at President Jefferson's invitation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/01-33-02-0302|title=Founders Online: From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Paine, 18 March 1801|website=founders.archives.gov|language=en|access-date=August 20, 2019|archive-date=August 20, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190820150705/https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/01-33-02-0302|url-status=live}}</ref> Paine also paid for the passage for Bonneville's wife [[Marguerite Brazier]] and the couple's three sons, [[Benjamin Bonneville|Benjamin]], Louis, and Thomas Bonneville, to whom Paine was godfather. Paine returned to the U.S. in the early stages of the [[Second Great Awakening]] and a time of great political partisanship. The ''Age of Reason'' gave ample excuse for the religiously devout to dislike him, while the Federalists attacked him for his ideas of government stated in ''Common Sense,'' for his association with the French Revolution, and for his friendship with President Jefferson. Also, still fresh in the minds of the public was his ''Letter to Washington,'' published six years before his return. This was compounded when his right to vote was denied in [[New Rochelle, New York|New Rochelle]] on the grounds that Gouverneur Morris did not recognize him as an American and Washington had not aided him.<ref>Claeys, Gregory, 1989.

Brazier took care of Paine at the end of his life and buried him after his death. In his will, Paine left the bulk of his estate to her, including 100 acres (40.5 ha) of his farm so she could maintain and educate Benjamin and his brother Thomas.<ref>{{cite book | last1=Paine | first1=T. | last2=Wheeler | first2=D.E. | last3=Rickman | first3=T.C. | title=The Life and Writings of Thomas Paine: Containing a Biography | publisher=Vincent Parke | issue=v. 10 | year=1908 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tFE2D3F_aNAC | access-date=2022-04-21 | chapter=The Will of Thomas Paine | chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tFE2D3F_aNAC&pg=PA365 | page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=tFE2D3F_aNAC&pg=PA368 368] | archive-date=December 30, 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231230044610/https://books.google.com/books?id=tFE2D3F_aNAC | url-status=live }}</ref>
