Biography

Samuel Bond, the son of Richard Bond and Mary Jarman, was born in 1754. He passed away in 1838.

Samuel - Richard's eldest son, born Sept. 30 1754, was , at the time of the family's move, forty-five years old. He did not accompany them west but remained in the east. On Apr. 7 1778, at the age of twenty-three, he had married Elizabeth McVeigh. Their children were as follows:

1. Edith, b. c.1782, said to have died young
2. Mary, b. c. 1782, said to have died young
3. Samuel, b. c. 1784, said to have died young
4. Benjamin, b. c. 1786, married Sarah Howsel of Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. They had six children, Eliza , Rebecca, Sarah, Phebe, Moses,and Aaron.
5. Sarah, b. c. 1788, married Nathaniel Wilson of Northumberland County. They had six children, Samuel, Eli, Hugh, Nathaniel, Elizabeth and one whose name was unknown.
6. Eli, born February 1879. He later joined his grandfather Richard's family in Virginia.

Some time between 1789 and 1793 or 1794, Elizabeth, Samuel's first wife died and Samuel married Phoebe Booth, daughter of Charles Booth of London Grove, Pennsylvaniia, probably a relative of Thomas Booth, first husband of Mary Passmore, Richard's second wife. Their children were:

1. Lewis, born c. 1794
2. Jonathan, born Feb. 2, 1796
3. Charles, born c. 1798
4. Richard, b. c. 1799, married Ellen Best.
5. Anne, b. c. 1801, married James McGinnis. They had five children, Phebe, Lizzie, Sarah, James and John.

Lewis and Jonathan would have been only about five and three respectively when Richard's family moved to Virginia, and Charles and Richard only infants. This might have been one of the reasons, at least, why Samuel decided not to join the rest of the family in the westward migration. Perhaps only after the departure of the family, Samuel and his family settled in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, where he owned a farm and was frequently elected to the State Assembly. His last child, Anne, was mentioned in the will of Charles Booth, her grandfather.

Samuel died Mar. 3, 1838, at the age of eighty-three. ^[1]
