P. Boord" to my great grandfather's elder brother "The Rev. Joseph Boord Ansted." In the letter he tells "JB Ansted" that he is 12th in descent from Sir John Hody "through your Boord descent from the Bonds of Lutton C. Dorset." I would be extremely interested in learning more about the Boord's and Bonds and of course about the line of descent from Sir John. Thank you in advance for any information that you can share.
