Note: William Bond, the second son of John Bond, was born 9 Sep 1793 . At this time, the John Bond family was still in Virginia, probably Spotsylvania Co, near Fredericksburg. As a boy, he travelled with his father, mother and brother Robert first to Scott Co., KY in 1795/1796, and second to Gallatin Co., KY (later to become Owen Co.) in 1803.
According to a biography of William's son Robert L. Bond and also a biography of son Benjamin F. Bond, William was a "soldier of the war of 1812, in Col. Dick Johnson's regiment." Richard M. Johnson commanded a regiment of Kentucky militia consisting mostly of men from eastern Kentucky during the war of 1812, and is sometimes credited with killing the Indian commander Tecumseh. A William Bond, "Trumpeter", is listed in the roll of Johnson's regiment, Allen A. Hamilton's company . No federal pension file for William Bond exists, even though he lived past pension legislation, presumably because he was not in the regular army, but in the state militia.
On 18 Nov 1819, William Bond married Harriet Scott, the daughter of Rev. John Scott, the Baptist preacher in the area . Rev. Scott had joined William's father John and Johanna Holladay in marriage in 1813, but this day, the honors were performed by Henry Morgan.
On 1 Jan 1823, John Scott deeded to William Bond, "for and in consideration of an intermarriage with his daughter Hariat Scott, and for several good offices, and for the further consideration of one dollar", 184 acres on Stephen's Creek and McCool's Creek in Gallatin Co., KY (later to become Carroll Co.). It may not be a coincidence that at the time, Harriet was four month's pregnant with John Scott's grandson. McCool's Crrek parallels the Ohio River near Carrollton, KY. Stephen's Creek is located just east of Ghent. The property would have probably been located some 4-5 miles up Stephen's Creek on the current Sharon-Black Rock road, nearly on the border of Gallatin and Carroll Counties. The house shown in figure ___ is described as the house in which Robert L. Bond was born (1836) would have been built by William and Harriet on this property. Indeed, the syle of the house (late federal) would indicate a construction date of the 1820's, when William and Harriet had moved there.
In 1829, William and Harriet purchased another 55 acres on Stephen's Creek from John Sanders and wife, a plot presumably adjacent to the first .
William Bond died 12 Jan 1863. Harriet died six days later, 18 Jan 1863. His will mentions a grandson, James B. Lindsay, son of his daughter Mary Jane Bond and John C. Lindsay; Mary Jane had died previously in 1855. The will also mentions "my children: John C. Bond, James A. Bond, Benj. F. Bond, and Robert L. Bond." His will further states "If my son Rob't L. Bond, who is now absent from home in the army, should not live to get home or until peace is restored to our distracted country or until his term of service expires, I direct that such portion of my estate as is herein bequeather unto him, shall be equally divided and distrubuted among my three other children." Robert L. Bond had enlisted in the Confederate cavalry in 1862, and did make it home.
The William Bond estate consisted of the land, 4 horses, a yoke of oxen, 21 sheep, a buggy and 7 slaves , in addition to household furniture .
The 1840 Carroll Co., KY census lists the six sons and four daughters. Therefore, one son and two daughters are as yet unknown.
Came to Gallatin County with his family in ~1806 (Gall. Co. Tax Records,
