I had corresponded with Tex Dick about that line of Bonds and cannot connect them to mine. The Joseph B. Bonds were always difficult to separate. His is Joseph Ballenger and mine is Joseph Benjamin. My Bonds seem to group with Mayfields, Camps, Longinos, Davenports, Garretts, and Harps to name a few. Found a book on the History of Palmetto, GA but it did not go beyond Joseph M. (McMillon?) Bond. Will just keep digging in SC!! Nancy
