Well COUSIN, am I glad to hear from you! I do have a descendancy ged.com for Lucinda, if you would like it. Sounds like we are stuck in the same place. Your information looks, on first glance, substantially like what I have. For your trivia collection, I descend from both Lucinda and Wiley, and John Carroll and his first wife, Huldah Hearne. That little fact adds a lot of confusion to my mind! Where did you find the information that Lucinda and Frances are sisters? This could help us track down the family... At any rate, I have lots of information on Lucinda's descendants, and would love to share it if you are interested. There are some Texas cousins working on this line, too, though I think they are all Hearne descendants, and not Bonds. I am taking it for granted that we should work together on this line, cuz, as it has been frustrating to work it alone! If you have a ged.com or FTW file of your line I would love to have it. Nice to meet you, Valerie Austin CTSchick@aol.com wrote: > > Valerie, > The only information I have on Lucinda Bond is that she is supposed to be the > full sister of my ancestor, Frances Bond, born 25 March 1813, in Franklin > County,Georgia.
