Hello Bond cousins! Last weekend I went to the Hood County Genealogy Library in Granbury, TX to search for my ggg-grandfather, Amon Bond. The wonderful ladies working their produced a folder with 27 pages about Amon, his ancestors and descendants. Jackpot! I learned five new names of ancestors I had been searching for, and several dates. Some of these may pertain to some of you so I am posting them. There were also some interesting family stories. This is what I didn't know before: The name of Amon Bond's father-in-law was John Carter. Amon's wife, Sarah Elizabeth Carter was half Cherokee (I already knew this part). So her mother must have been Cherokee. Amon's grandfather, Peter Bond III, was born in 1700 and died 12-26-1762. Amon's great grandmother, Susannah Parrish's father was William Parrish and he was a Quaker. Amon's son, Henry Bond married Martha Johnson from GA. Her parents were Barney and Phoebe Johnson. Peter Bond the Immigrant was married to Alice Gill Drury. All I had before was just Alice. Hope this helps someone.
