Disputed Parentage

Although several online sources say the mother of this family and wife of Jean Pierre Bondurant is Rhoda Ann Faure (Ford), the Bonderant Family Association, which has done extensive research on this family says this:
"Jean Pierre married Ann Tanner and they had five children: Joseph, John, Ann, Frances, and Peter."

"The Genealogy Research Committee was established by the BFA membership at the October 26, 2019 annual meeting in Portland, Oregon. Its purpose is “to further our understanding of the various Bondurant family lineages descending from John Peter (Jean Pierre) Bondurant and Ann Tanner, and assist Members in moving forward in their research so that they can firmly establish their connections to the correct lineage” using traditional genealogical methods as well as DNA testing."

The one thing everyone seems to agree on is that her name was Ann. The plaque that the family erected in 1990 says "Jean Pierre Bonderant and his wife Ann. ... He married Ann... Their five children are John, Peter, Jospeh, Ann and Frances." No mention of a birth name for Ann.

See also https://www.bondurant-family.org/styled-7/ where it refers to several publications, one of which is The Bondurants of America - Ann Tanner's Ancestors by Mary Bondurant, (Name: Heritage Papers; Location: Athens, Georgia, USA; Date: 2009;).

Ann's father died in England in 1700, but his widow and children made the voyage to the New World, and settled in the James river.

Ann Faure is often mistakenly said to be the wife of Jean PIerre Bondurant. However, according to his will, the wife was named Ann - but her maiden name was not specified.

It is not known if he (Dr. Jean Pierre Bondurant) was married more than once and, if so, which children belong to each wife. A wife Ann, the mother of his son Peter, is mentioned in his will. Many researchers had thought that his wife was Ann Faure but this appears incorrect. She may have been Ann Tanner. The will of Mrs. Mary Tanner, Albermarle Co., Virginia, in the 1760s, left $1 to her daughter Ann Bondurant. Whether this is the widow of Jean Pierre has not been proven. Also, the marriage date cannot be confirmed. The date shown is given by some researchers but it has never been proven.

An article for the Huguenot Society says Jean Pierre's wife was Ann Tanner - not Ann Faure. For more info see his profile:

Dr. Jean Pierre Bondurant

If you have a better source - please list it. Thanks.

Some suggest her maiden name was L'Orange, some say it was Tanner. There is no source for a maiden name.
