This marriage was Solemnized between us [signed] Samuel MOUZON Anne MAYNARD In the presence of Charles MAYNARD Elias LEWIS" p. 42n A Jacob BOND is mentioned in a description of land in the 1744 will of Noah SERRE. p. 145- "One of the local military leaders was a former militia captain (1808), Jacob Bond I'on (1782- 1859), a graduate of Yale, who entered the United States Army on March 12, 1812, as captain of the 1st Regiment of Artillery and served until 1815. Upon the reorganization of the army at the close of the war, he was retained. The fortifications at Charelston and Savannah were under his command. After the war he continued to maintain a life-long interest in the military and in 1830 was chosen to command the Volunteer Battalion raised in St. James Santee, Christ Church, St. Thomas, St. Stephens, and St. Johns Berkeley. (SCHM, XXV, (1924), pp. 14- 15.) A planter, I'on had inherited his father's property, which included Clayfield Plantation in Christ Church Parish and Springfield Plantation (1,042 acres) in St. James Parish. Tax returns for 1824 also list his ownership of 964 acres and thirty slaves in St. Thomas and St. Dennis Parish at Spring Hill Plantation. His chief plantation, however, was Fairlawn, later called Furman's, near the head of the Wando River. Bond also owned a house on Sullivna's Island where he served as intendant (1823) and warden (1824) for Moultrieville (Bio. Dir. of SC House of Rep:1775- 1790, Vol. III). From his large house at Moultrieville, I'on dispensed hospitality to friends and relatives. His house was a favorite meeting place for young officers stationed at Fort Moultrie. One of his most frequent guests was a young lieutenant with red hair, William Tecumseh SHERMAN. A bachelor, I'on was a family favorite with his numerous nieces and nephews. Enormously fat and jolly, he was affectionately known by the family as 'Old Uncle.' [omission] A member of the planter governing elite, Bond served, as had Col. Samuel WARREN, as president of the South Carolina Senate (1822- 1828), but was defeated for governor in 1825. After his death in 1859 Bond was buried, as his father had been, in the BOND family cemetary at Hobcaw Plantation on the Wando River."
