John Peter Bondurant, Sr.

Disputed mother

Although several online sources say the mother of this family 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;).

Geni has Ann Tanner locked on Jean Pierre Bonderant as his wife and the mother of his children.

John and his wife Sarah lived in Goochland County, Virginia, and later in Cumberland County. He deeded 200 acres of land to his son, John Peter III of Albemarle County, on 9 March 1758.

Sarah was the widow of Robert L. Moseley. The Bondurant Family Association Newsletter reprinting information from The Huguenot Magazine, Vol. 25, page 173 gives the marriage date as 1836 but indicates date and place not proved.

Grinnell, in his manuscript, indicates that John died in Manakin in 1744. A pedigree chart in The Huguenot, Publication No. 30, submitted by Mary V.
