Excerpt from Bond Genealogy: A History of the Descendants of Joseph Bond, Born 1704, in Wiltshire, England, Died 175-in North Carolina; Also a Brief Account of Many of the Descendants of John Bond, His Brother, Who Also Emigrated to America
The work of compiling data for a genealogy of a branch of the bond family was begun in the year 1884 and has been pursued at intervals during twenty-five years. It has required no small amount of patience and perseverance to secure the historical facts herein narrated. No attempt has been made to present anything like write-up of any individual; on the contrary the biographies are very brief, this being necessary, otherwise the volume might become too large to suit our purpose. A number of abbreviations are used in the work, the list of which should be learned by the reader. The place of birth is not always given, but frequently can be ascertained by reference to the parents and their place of residence.
After the name heading each family, appears, in parenthesis, the name of his or her ancestors of each generation running back to the immigrant joseph bond, or john bond, as the case may be. Both being sons of benjamin and ann (par adise) bond.
A name in parenthesis thus Anna (huff) Bond denotes that her maiden name was Huff. Each name is given a number, in light type where the birth is noted; when this number is car ried forward to where the marriage of the person named is re corded the number is here placed in black type, so they can be readily found. The light and black numbers will be found throughout the w,ork including the index.
The aim has been to record the facts as a matter of history of our kindred. That errors will be found is to be expected and cannot be avoided; for these we ask the indulgence of the reader.
