Ann, I too descend from from John Bond and Susannah. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any information on who his ancestors are. Other people researching this line have run into the same problem. I can send you my descendancy (through their son Leonard). It will take me a day or two to get it together. When I was little, my dad (now deceased) was told the Bonds' had an ancestor named Richard Bond in Virginia. I haven't found that connection yet. If you find anything, I would be interested myself. Do you know what Susannahs' mothers' name is. I know her fathers' name is Stephen, son of Robert Wade.
