I know these posts are old, but I hope some of you are still out there. My gr-gr-grandmother was Rebecca “Becky” BONDS (at least that’s what Becky’s daughter told her daughter (Mattie Moore Gipson) who told her daughter (my grandmother, Mollie Belle Gipson Thrash) Archibald Judge MOORE and Becky raised their family in Randolph County, Alabama, 1870 forward. Randolph County is on the Alabama/Georgia line. Mattie also told my grandmother that she (Mattie) was one quarter Indian. I can find no proof of this, but if true I think it might have been through the BONDS line. I can’t be sure, but I think I found Becky in the following BONDS family in 1860 in Randolph County, Alabama. Her age is about right and on the 1870 census A. J. and Rebecca Moore are listed in household 303 and in household 304 is Nancy Bonds (with 2 children). Coincidence? I don't think so.

1860 census, Randolph County, Alabama, Northern Division, Page No. 66, Rockdale Post Office, enumerated July 30, 1860:

Assemith Bonds, age 40, female, domestic housewife, Value of real estate is $100, value of personal estate $60, born Georgia
Nancy Bonds, age 15, female, domestic housewife, born Georgia
Rebecca Bonds, age 13, female, born Georgia
Note 1: Color was left blank
Note 2: I can find no other record of Assemith BONDS

I also found the following, but don’t know if this is my Becky. Maybe it will help someone else.

1850 census, Heard County, Georgia, 41st District, enumerated October 26, 1850,
Dwelling 471:
James J. Bonds, age 32, male, farmer, $100, born Georgia,
Cyne (can’t tell is this is Cyne or Cyre), age 29, female
Mary A. E., age 9, female
Nancy J, age 7, female
Rebecca L. C. (or S.C.?), age 4, female
Babe, age 1, female

Any connections? Can anyone shed light on my BONDS? Thanks.
