I couldn't help but notice your unusual first name, Vernard. My dad's and grandfather's name is Vernon. While not as unusual as yours, I find the similarities intriguing. Looking for anyone related to the BONDs of Dooly County, Georgia: Samuel P. (presumeably Perham) BOND (1803-1882) and his wife, Quintina (1810-?) ? They had 5 children: Cornelia V (1830-1924) m. Lucius A YOUNG Edward L (1835-1886) m. Georgia Ann WOOTEN Beverly Jane (1840-1907) m. Enos J YOUNG (brother of Lucius) Jonlicius/James U (1843-1870) m. Fanny R LOVEJOY Samue H (1849-1879), never married. Many thanks, Debbie
