In J. H. Watmuff journals written 31 August 1868 "Thursday we had at our house another party to tea & to spend the evening - Old Mrs Bond & her two Sons William & George, with the formers wife, also my sister Mary (Mary Clark) & her husband. William Bond is a middle aged man & when I saw him last, on Board the Ship “Brothers” when we were fellow passengers nearly 19 years ago, he was a thin stripling of a young man, now he is stout & looks as he is, a regular "paterfamils". George is a smart young fellow, not quite so old as I am - it seems strange that after such a lapse of time our families should thus become so intimate The old lady is a most pecular religious enthusiast who is hourly looking for the coming Christ & expects to be carried up to heaven - yet in all other respects is a nice sensible old soul - We made things as pleasent as possible & altogether we spent a most agreeable & social evening."
His brother George went onto marry J.H. Watmuff's sister Elizabeth Sarah 'Bessie' Watmuff.
He passed away in 1880.[9]
His wife Elizabeth passed away 1923.[10]
