"Are any of your Bonds African Americans. I have been searching the Bonds/Barnes family in Wilkinson and Amite County. I have a lot of family information for both counties. I am will to share. Who were the parents of Amanda Bonds married to William Cobb." As far as I know, none of my BONDS were African American. I don't know the names of Arminda's parents - the 1850 US census, Amite Co, shows her birthplace as Amite Co, MS and her son John's death certificate shows his mother's birthplace as Gloster. She would have been born 1829-1830. Does this match anything in your BONDS files? Thanks, Kay
