You should visit the site listed below. It is a pretty thorough list of a big family of Bonds in America in the late 1600's. They settled in the Baltimore area (before there was a Baltimore). There is listed a John Bond who married a Mary ??? but it reports his death as before 1720. Do you know where your John and Mary were married? I suppose there could have been other Bonds in America as well. This Bond family is well documented in a book called The Bonds of Earth. Earth is the name of the place in England where they came from.
