The Fluvanna County Marriage Bond Book gives several records of Bond family marriages between 1777 and 1800, they are: John Burgess and Elizabeth Bond (relict William Bond) 18Sep1778. John Carter and Mourning Bond (Consent by John Burgess for his daughter) 6Nov 1794 Allen W. Bond and Sally Murry 1Feb 1798. Calib Henley and Polly Bond Consent by John Burgess for his daughter-in-law) 22Dec 1790. Benjamin Mayo (father Stephen Mayo) and Mary Ann Bond (Consent by her father William Henley). Edmond Noell and Pasty Henley (possibly sister of Calib) 23Nov1800.
John died in Albemarle, Co., VA in 1804-05. No will or settlement of his estate has ever been found. After John died Mourning and their children moved back into her childhood home in Fluvanna Countywith her mother and step father, Elizabeth and John Burgess. This was the plantation home deeded to William (Billy) Bond by his father Charles Bond.
In 1814, Mourning and her children and Allen Woodward Bond and his family moved to Alabama and settled near their Uncle Claiborne Saunders. There were also some Carters in the area that might have been related to John.
In 1847 Mourning Carter, with the help of her son Charles, made application for a bounty land and for a pension on the Revolutionary War service of John Carter. The claim was rejected because they were unable to name the officers of John's regiment, or provide detailed information about his service. GSA in Washington reports this application were lost in 1877. In follow up letters by Charles Carter trying to identify his father's military record, he says that his grandparents and others in Virginia told him that his father was a private in the cavalry of the Virginia Continental Line. There is a record for a John Carter as a Private in the first regiment Light Dragoons, Continental Troops, and according to the information Charles gave in his letters to Washington, this man was his father.
In 1857, at age 87, she applied for a widow's pension for her husband's service in the Revolutionary War. She thought that he had been a private of Cavalry in the Virginia Continental line for over two years. She didn't know his regiment, officer's names, service record, or even when he died (1803-1806 she thought). She did say that he died in Albemarle County Va. She couldn't sign her name.
