Sandra, Don't feel like the lone wolf! I can't travel either. Have been looking for my grandfather, John Francis HILL, and his ancestors....but first I have to find him. He was married to a Martha WELTON, who is just as elusive. I have no birth data on either one. All I know is they were living in Coal Hill, Johnson County, AR when my mother, Nona Isabelle HILL, was born December 24, 1888. As for Bond....well, my paternal grandmother was Mary Frances (Mollie) Bond (Bonds?) and have no birth data there either. I have seen her name written Bond and Bonds, so am not sure which one is correct. She was married to Hugh Watson Nichols and they were living in Ozark, Franklin County, AR when my father, Vard Rollin Nichols was born February 14, 1887. And then there is my MANNING/ST.GEORGE line......another brick wall. If any of this rings a bell, let me know.....and lots of luck. ginny -----Original Message----- From: SJLTDL@aol.com <SJLTDL@aol.com> To: BOND-L@rootsweb.com <BOND-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, May 30, 1998 9:26 AM Subject: Re: BOND-D Digest V98 #58 > Hi! cousins, you all make me so envious knowing about family all the way >back to the 1700's.
