Hi, I'm not the original message sender. My standstill on the Bond line is a John Bond married to a Ruth Calvert. I believe This John Bond was born in Lancashire. His son, James was born 25th August 1830 in Blackburn, Lancashire, England. I have no Birthdate, Place of birth or Death date or Place for John. Like I said, my standstill. John supposedly died in England. Ruth, his wife came to America and latter married a man named Brower. My question is, does any of your records or research indicate This John Bond? I would like to say I know of many Nichols' and Bond's who migrated to a place called Ramah, New Mexico in the 1880's. Thanks for your help.
