Hi. Just returned from Hampstead, N.H. and found the following: John Bond, b. Jan 14, 1718 in Haverhill Mass., son of John and ____ (Hall) Bond of Haverhill (Mass.) His father drowned May 21, 1721 in the Merrimack river. He was a doctor in Hampstead for many years. He married Judith Dow (Haverhill, Mass.) and had six children. (Memorial History of Hampstead, N.H., Voll II (Church). I also found one of his sons, John, Jr., (married Mary Moulton), was a doctor in Hampstead, N.H. for many years. I was unable to locate the graves of John, John Jr., or there wives, due to time constraints, and lack of (obvious) records. Hope this helps. -Alan Bond BOND-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > Subject: > > BOND-D Digest Volume 98 : Issue 90 > > Subject: RE: BOND/KENT; MA; late 1600s > Date: Wed, 5 Aug 1998 16:10:09 -0400 > From: "Charles Bond" <bond@labor.lab.state.vt.us> > To: BOND-L@rootsweb.com > > The only living John Bond of the Newbury line was 4 years old in 1722.
