Response to Darcy - saw your not of 9-26-98. I am also researching Andrew Jackson BOND. His father was Banister BOND born c 1776-79 in VA. Banister married RAchel MARTIN CLARY. Their son was Andrew Jackson BOND who marries Emeline LEWIS in IA. I can give more info. I realize my ancestor is BOND not BONDS. Have you ever seen another Banister? It has been a brick wall for me to get any information on him. I know he died in IA at the age of 100. I would appreciate any and all information anyone can provide. Thanks, Valerie Bearley in Kansas
