Hello, I am researching my BOND lineage from Nova Scotia. My great-grandfather Thomas BOND was born in Chester, N.S. in 1832. His father was James BOND, who I think was born in N.S. in 1786. The parents listed for this birth were John BOND and Elizabeth. Who may have just arrived to Nova Scotia around the 1780s because John BOND may have been a Loyalist. He may have been the John BOND from Ninety-Six, S.C. If anyone has any information on this family please let me know. Below is the putative descendents of John BOND.
