Early History Resumed

The new members of the House who represented the
county in 1653-54 were Daniel Boucher, Francis Hobbs,
and Captain John Bond.
...
Captain John Bond was promoted to be Major of the
Isle of Wight militia and also served in the House until
1660, with the exception of 1656 when he was sheriff. "In
1656 Major John Bond, sheriff of Isle of Wight com-
plains that the county has been overrated in the list of
tithables by thirty-eight persons amounting to 1,292
pounds of tobacco." (17 V M, p130)
Major John Bond was a dissenter of some sort as
the Assembly in 1659 expelled him from his office of
Justice in Isle of Wight for his "Schismatical tend-
encies". The resolution was as follows, "Whereas a
complaint has been exhibited to this Assembly concern-
ing the factious and schismatical demeanor of Major
John Bond, and the same proved by several testimonies,
it is ordered that he hath shown himself to be unfit to
be continued a magistrate so he shall henceforth be made
incapable of any further public trust or employment."
Major Bond died in 1678 and left a wife Dorothy and
sons John and William.
