  • Notes 
    • UID 09B9BCEFE62FBD4E8CD80111ABB3E396DA83

      Some confusion on the name-
      1860 census- James Bond
      1870 census- James M Bond
      1880 census- Munro Bond

      As of the 1880 census there were 3 black male laborers living with the family- John Posey (21), Lewis Sterling (21), Wilsey Sterling (20)

      1887 death not confirmed yet, but wife's death cert in 1918 does show her to be widow & 1900 Census shows her as widowed
    • (Research):1880 Census shows his Father born in NC and Mother born in SC

      Various Family Trees on Ancestry.com show Father is Daniel Bond (1800-1859), mother is Claricy (1805-1860), but give no source.
      Father from these trees, Daniel Bond born in Jackson, AL, marries Claricy 19 Feb 1825 in Elbert, GA, dies in Elbert GA, but this is in conflict with 1880 Census, showing his father is born in NC
