All Land Claims in Hancock County, Mississippi had to have different names for the purpose of receiving Mail. His address was, John Bond Jr. Indie, Hancock, Mississippi. ( Indie, Mississippi was located about 3 Miles West of present Wiggins, Mississippi that did not exist then). John Bond Jr.built his House on the same Hill near to where the Batson Log House is now located by the largest Spring in the State of Mississippi. ( Currently, Archie Batson who is a descendent of John Bond Jr. thru his daughter Delphia Bond who married James Batson II currently owns part of the Property where Indie, Mississippi had been Located ). (The Batson Log House that was built by Hollis Batson who was a descendant of Lt Col John Bond Jr. near to where Lt Col John Bond Jr. built his house.)
Elisha Bond built his house with the help of a French Indian named Manikoki; the new house at Indie, completed by June,1822. His son Elisha Bond and Nancy Batson were going back to Covington and Lawrence Counties to visit family members and friends. Lt Col John Bond Jr. wrote a letter to be delivered by them:
To my Bond Family By my new House on a Hill , is near the largest Spring that I have ever seen and forms a small Creek that flows thru Indie Bay to the Red River. (now Red Creek) And there are many more smaller Springs in the Hills on the North side of Indie Bay too. Indie Bay is over 5 miles long and as wide as 2 miles in places. Indie Bay has only a few Trees. There are large Areas in Indie Bay where only Grass grows. From my House on a Hill, I can see the East end of Indie Bay that is over 5 miles to the East. 80 Acre Land purchases only cost $8 Cristoforo Silver Coins.($8.00) And Land purchases up to 320 Acres are permitted. Anyone who does not own any Slaves can get a 320 Acre free Spanish Land Grant. There is more than ample room for the entire Family to settle at Indie Bay. The rich Dirt in Indie Bay is Black, Soft and is richer than the Dirt in the Bays by the Mississippi River. Elisha settled by Flint Creek which is around 12 miles East of here and there is a large open Bay on the North side of Red River there too. Me and Elisha are the only new Settlers to north-east Hancock, Mississippi, to date. There are miles and miles of grasslands for many Cattle to graze on. There are around 7 Houma Families that live on the North side of Red River in Hancock, Mississippi that dress like Americans. They speak the English language also.The majority of the French Indians live in the Territory of Jackson, Mississippi. They speak the French language and dress like Indians but they are friendly too. I am yours etc. Junior John Bond
To my father John Bond the Senior. Send your thoughts back by Nancy and Elisha and I will come to Bouge Chitto, Mississippi in my large Milita Wagon that has a small Stove and six Bunk Beds in it and is fit to live in for any length of time to get you. For the Bond's with Wagons that decide to relocate to Hancock County, Mississippi. Travel from Natchez along old Three Notch Road towards Mobile, Alabama to where James Batson II lives at Cozy Corner, Mississippi near the Three Notch Road and the Fort Stoddard Road Intersection. Then continue on the old Three Notch Road past the large Oak Tree that has Three Notches on it about 6 miles South-East to a Oak Tree that Elisha that has marked a new X on it. ( That X was located by the old Three Notch Road and was on the East side of old Highway 49 in the Pecan Orchard at present Fruitland Park, Mississippi ). At that new X, turn South and travel around 6 miles to a Intersection that will have two new X's marked on two Trees there. ( Those two X's were at the present Intersection College Avenue and First Street in Wiggins, Mississippi ). The X on a Oak Tree on the left on a new Wagon Road will go to where Elisha lives at Chinquapin, Mississippi (present day Big Level near Flint and Red Creek). The X marked on the Pine Tree on the right side of the Road will lead you South-West 3 miles to Indie, Mississippi to where I live. I am yours etc. John L Bond the Junior. In September of 1822 he went to Natchez, Mississippi. Then John L. Bond paid his Tax on 1 Slave at Courthouse at Lafayette, Mississippi Then he went back to Washington, Mississippi and then John Bond Jr. went to Bogue Chitto, Mississippi and brought back Col John Bond Sr, Rebecca Wiggins, Sarah Lott, who were Widows. Sarah Lott had a five year daughter named Carolyn Lott with her. Robert Bond who was the youngest son of Col John Bond Sr. followed them in his Wagon. ( reference, the Russell Bond records )
In 1828, John L Bond Jr.. paid a Poll Tax (based on Free People of Color taxation) in Hancock County, Mississippi (along with John Bond Sr, Elisha, William, Brantley, Bargel, and Robert Bond). [ 1830 report; at Indie by Red River John L Bond; House 2 | In 1827 John Bond Jr. took Saw-Wood Amite to the Hancock Mississippi Courthouse to be registered as a FPOC or Free Person of Color. Saw-Wood wanted his last name to be Bond and he wanted his first name to be Francis and his middle name to be Hamtramck to honor John Francis Hamtramck Claiborne who raised him as a free Black. Lt Col John Bond Jr. did know that Saw-Wood would have to be registered as a free Black in Covington County, Mississippi and had to pay Taxes for Him. In 1830, John Bond Jr. was counted twice. One time he was counted in Hancock County, Mississippi.( House 2) And a second time he was counted in Perry County, Mississippi. He was in a House next to his daughter Delphia Bond who married James Batson II. (House No. 34ii). House No. 34ii was the Cozy Corner Inn. ( Sources: Census records in Hancock Co, MS; Census in Perry Co. MS were confused genealogists because there are no more records for John Bond Jr. of any type in Hancock County, Mississippi until 1835 ; but, it is now known that John Eaton, the Secretary of War, requested Col John Bond III's attendance to the Treaty of Dancing Rabbits and the Chiefs considered him a friend and he was en-route to Dancing Rabbit Creek.
