My paternal grandmother was Mary Frances (Mollie) Bond (Bonds?) and was married to Hugh Watson Nichols b. 1851 AR. Do not have any birth info on Mary Frances and would sure like to find out something about her. They had 8 children that I know of, one of whom, Vard Rollin Nichols, b. February 14, 1887 in Ozark, Franklin Co. AR, was my father. If you know of anything would appreciate hearing from you. Will save your inquiry also.
