Thomas Burke Bond

Notes:

Said to be the son of William BOND and Frances Wilson DOHERTY of North Carolina and Tennessee.

There appears to have also been a younger Thomas Burke Bond with a connection the the McLemore family. Tennessee Death records for William McLemore Bond, born 28 Jun 1904, in TN and died 23 Sep 1936 in Nashville, TN, show him as a son of Thomas B. Bond and Mary McLemore. As Mark Freeman shows Thomas Burke Bond having died in 1887, and since William McLemore Bond was born when Thomas Burke Bond would have been 95, it is likely another Thomas B. Bond who was his father.

This would make him the brother of Eliza Mary Bond, listed below.

Eliza Mary Bond was born to Frances Doherty and William Bond, in 1805. She attended school in Fayetteville, N.C., in 1821; otherwise, she spent most of her youth in Hillsborough. She moved to Greensboro, Ala., in 1834. Following the death of her husband, she moved with her son, George Doherty Johnston, and her aunt, Mary Burke, to Marion, Ala., where she later married Leonard Weissinger. Eliza Mary Bond Johnston Weissinger died in 1875.

Mary Williams Burke was born in 1782, in Warren County, N.C., to Mary Freeman and Thomas Burke. She taught school in Hillsborough, N.C,, starting in 1810. In 1834, she moved with her niece, Eliza Mary Bond Johnston, to Greensboro, Ala. Burke and her niece later moved to Marion, Ala., where she continued teaching and tutoring until her death in 1869. She never married.
George Mulhollan Johnston was born in 1800. Johnston was a merchant in Hillsborough with business connections throughout the state. In 1831 or 1832, he married Eliza Mary Bond. In August 1834, with his wife and her aunt, Mary Williams Burke, he moved to Greensboro, Ala., where he died in September.

Looked on us all; and loving her the most
Straightway received her to the heavenly fold."
