My gr-grandfather Charles Bond married (2) a Martha J. Nichols in Texas. Both claimed their state of birth as Tennessee. Apparently the Nichols and Bond family were connected. The story is Martha was a close friend of my gr grandmother, Susanna J. Markham Bond, who died in childbirth, I believe. Both the second marriage of Charles Bond and the death of Susanna Markham Bond took place in Fannin County, Texas, between 1890 and 1900. The family called the second Mrs. Bond Grandma Nichols. I've been meaning to trace the Nichols connection a little further and this reminded me. Susanna's nephew married a Nichols also. In 1920 they were living in Burkburnet Texas (Wichita County) with Charles and Martha Nichols Bond. Thanks for the reminder. I want to look at the Bond/Nichols connection back in Tennessee. Genie Holt
