                          Memoir of Henry Bond, M.D.
By Horatio Gates Jones, A.M., Corresponding Secretary of the Historical Society 
of Pennsylvania


When a man of eminent attainments dies, it becomes a matter of interest to 
learn of his early history, to trace his progress upwards from boyhood to 
mature years, and especially to note those events and traits by which he may 
have been more or less characterized.

The void that has been created in society, of which he may have been a dist-
inguished ornament - or in his profession, to which perhaps he added dignity
as well as reknown - we naturally wish to fill up with precious mementos of his 
worth, and thus preserve for succeeding generations that example and influence 
which were so justly prized by us during his life.

The scholar lives not for himself alone. He may have, and every true scholar
does have, enjoyments of which none can be partakers. He has his fond dreams,
his etherial visions, his inward joys, which the world without cannot compre-
hend; but he lives in a world of his own, and holds sweet converse with unseen
visitants.  To the real, true scholar and the diligent student, the words of
Cicero apply with peculiar force - nunquam minus solus, quam solus.

These remarks may be predicated with great propriety of Henry Bond, M.D., the
author of the work which follows; and although the book itself is a monument
which will ever continue to shed renown upon his name, a brief biographical
sketch has been deemed necessary, in order to give those who may peruse it, 
some facts and incidents in the author's life, not to be found in the succeeding 
pages.

the ancestors of Dr. Bond were residents of Bury St. Edmund's in the county of
Suffolk, England; and the first of the name who came to America, was William
Bond, who became a settler at Watertown, Massachusetts as early as 1650 and was 
one of the prominent and influential men of that place.  He married Sarah
Brisco, daughter of Nathaniel Brisco, of the same place, and had nine children.

From one of these, Colonel Jonas Bond, commonly called "the marrying Squire,"
as he held a Justice's commission and was famous for officiating at weddings,
Dr. Bond was lineally descended. His grandfather, William Bond, also of Watertown, 
was a Lieutenant Colonel under Colonel Thomas Gardiner, who was
mortally wounded at the battle of Bunker Hill.  

Lieutenant Colonel Bond succeeded to the command, and subsequently marched with the 
regular army to New York and was ordered to Canada by the way of the lakes.  Upon his 
return he encamped on Mount Independence, opposite Ticonderoga, where he died August
31st, 1776.  During his service in New York and Canada, Col. Bond was accompanied by 
his third son, Henry Bond, then quite a lad, who was present at the death of his 
patriotic father.

Henry Bond, M.D., was born at Watertown, Mass., March 21st, 1790 and was the 
only son of the above named Henry Bond, who married Hannah, the eldest daughter of 
Captain Phineas & Hannah (Bemis) Stearns of Watertown. Shortly after the birth of Henry, 
his parents removed to Livermore, Maine, where Mr. Bond had previously purchased land and 
several mills.  He was an active, influential citizen, a deacon of the First Church organized 
in the town, and was the second schoolmaster of the place in the winter of 1794.  

He died March 27, 1796, in the 35th year of his age, leaving a widow and two children, a 
sonand a daughter.  The widow survived until August 13th, 1803, having previously
married Zebedee Rose of Livermore, Maine, by whom she had several children.

In the month of March, 1806, Henry commenced his academical course at Hebron
Academy, and remained there until September, 1809, when he was admitted to the
freshman class of Dartmouth College, where he maintained a respectable rank,
and was duly graduated in August, 1813. While in college he exhibited a fond-
ness for the exact sciences and was considered a good mathematician.

Dr. Henry Bond also devoted himself to various literary efforts, and was interested 
in historical studies.  When he graduated from Dartmouth, his class numbered forty-one, 
although during the sophomore year it had as many as sixty.

Among his classmates were:

Rev. Joseph B. Felt, LL.D.
Rev. Benjamin F. Farnsworth, D.D.*
Rev. Austin Dickinson
Dr. Frederick Cushing, M.D.
Rev. Rufus William Bailey.

the Baptist Church in Edenton, No. Carolina, remaining there two years then

his wife died Sept. 17, 1819. He m. (2) Aug 2, 1821, Maria Cates Ripley. He
was until 1823 Principal of the Bridgewater Academy, Mass.  He then opened
the Female High School in Worcester, Mass. and edited the Christian Watch-
man in Boston until 1826 when he became First Principal of the New Hampton
Academy in N.H. He started a boys' high school and one for girls in Providence
R.I. In the Fall of 1836 he became President of Georgetown College in Kentucky. 
When his health failed he retired to the home of his dau. Julia
Maria wife of Patrick Henry Thomson and died at their home, Hurricane Hall,
Donerail, Fayette Co., Lexington, Ky. on June 4, 1851.
                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Immediately after his graduation Mr. Bond commenced the study of medicine
under Dr. Cyrus Perkins, who was Professor of Anatomy at Dartmouth College,
and Dr. Nathan Smith, Professor of Surgery, and continued thus engaged until
March, 1815, when he was elected a tutor in the college.  He remained in this
position util August, 1816 when he resigned.  The period he spent there as
tutor was full of interest as well as excitement, for it was in the midst of
the troubles about the charter of Dartmouth College, the history of which has
become incorporated with the judicial decisions of our country, and is so
closely connected with the fame of New Hampshire's noblest son, the lamented
Webster.

In December, 1816, Mr. Bond received his medical degree, and early in the
following January he commenced the practice of his profession in Concord, New
Hampshire.  During his residence in this town, Dr. Bond delivered each summer
for three years, a course of popular lectures on chemistry and at the same time 
he continued his general literary studies.  In 1818, he was chosen to
deliver the oration before the New Hampshire Alpha of the Phi Beta Kappa
Society.  He selected as his theme, "Traits of American Genius." The manu-
script of the oration, now before the writer, shows that devotion to his
profession had not produced a distaste for the paths of literature.  Those 
who knew Dr. Bond only in his later years, would be surprised at the tone of 
the entire oration.  The following extract is given, as indicative of his style,
and also because of the high, yet delicate encomium passed on one whose 
subsequent brilliant career justified the flattering praise bestowed upon him.

Dr. Bond says:

"Were transmigration of the soul a prevalent doctrine of the day, we might
believe the spirit of Warren had once before been disembodied at the Straits
of Thermopylae - we might believe Putnam

to have wandered over Greece with his brazen club, destroying tyrants, robbers
and monsters.  We might believe that Prometheus lived a second life in Franklin, 
our Jupiter Tonans - that Archimedes, who boasted if one point were
granted he could move the world - had re-appeared in the person of Rittenhouse, 
to put in motion the whole planetary system.  In the reverend founder of this, our 
beloved Alma Mater, I fancy I see the Phoenician Cadmas with his little band groping 
his way hither through dark and savage forests, to introduce learning and piety into 
this wild and rude Boeotia.  And it would require no extraordinary faith to believe that 
it is the joyous felicity of this Institution and of this State, to reproduce Demosthenes 
and that although his efforts to save Athens from the lawless grasp of Philip were not crowned
with the success they deserved, he has reappeared with all his former brilliancy and fervor, and
more than his ancient learning, to plead with greater success the cause of this, his literary birthplace 
- ths little Athens of New Hampshire."

Having relatives in Augusta, Maine, Dr. Henry Bond concluded to leave Concord
and settle in the former place, but wishing to perfect himself in a knowledge
of his profession, in November, 1819, he went to Philadelphia to attend lectures 
at the Univ. of Pennsylvania, whose medical department, then as now,enjoyed a 
world-wide reputation.  Here he formed several new and strong friendships - 
and when in 1820, he was about to remove to Augusta, where an
office had already been engaged, he was persuaded to make Philadelphia his
permanent abode.  His trunks had been packed for his departure, but the in-
ducements offered were so kind and generous, that he at length consented to
stay.  He accordingly commenced the practice of medicine in Philadelphia in
the spring of 1820, and having as a new beginner considerable leisure, he taught 
at his office, classes in practical and general surgery.  These classes
were well attended and were continued for several years.

The character of the medical profession of Philadelphia, which has 
numbered among its members such distinguished men as:

John Morgan
Benjamin Rush
Thomas Bond
Caspar Wistar
Philip Syng Physic
Nathaniel Chapman
William E. Horner
Robert Hare

and scores of others equally eminent, has always been high toned, and, in a
great measure, exclusive.

Hence, it so happened, that the societies which the earlier physicians of
Philadelphia formed for their mutual improvement, were difficult to access,
except by those of acknowledged merit.  Yet in December, 1819, Dr. Henry Bond
who was comparatively a stranger, was elected an honorary member of the
Philadelphia Medical Society, and he continued as an active member of it until
it became extinct.

In 1823, there was organized in Philadelphia, the Kappa Lambda Society, the
object of which was medical improvement, with special reference to medical
ethics. Of this Society he became an early member, and was for some time its
Secretary.

In May, 1824, he delivered an address before the New England Society in
Philadelphia, which was published at the request of the Society. It is a noble
vindication of New England, her institutions and her sons.

Having once attained a position, and giving evidence of professional eminence
as well as personal worth, Dr. Henry Bond found himself gladly welcomed by his
medical brethren into their societies and private coteries.  The first step
once attained, his ascent from one post of honor to another was easy, and in
the course of several years he was successively elected a Fellow of the
Philadelphia College of Physicians in 1825 and its Secretarty in 1832, and one
of its Censors in 1844.  In 1840, and again in 1850, this college sent him
as a delegate to the Decennial National Convention which met in New York to
organize a National Medical Association, and he generally attended its sub-
sequent meetings.  In 1847, he was a member of the Convention held in Lancaster, 
PA., for the purpose of organizing a State Medical Association, 
and he was also a member of the Board of Health of the city of Philadelphia
from 1833 to 1838 and its President during the year 1837/8.

It is thus seen that Dr. Henry Bond's talents and professional ability were
appreciated by his brethren - those who are supposed to be the best judges -
and this was all the more flattering from the fact that he himself was modest
and retiring to a fault.  He had energy,

_____________________________________________ 
p.x

persevervance and talents, but he was not obtrusive, and hence he was indebted
to his own sterling merit for his advancement.

In due course of time he attained considerable practice, which continued to
increase from year to year, until, by habits of careful economy, he had acquired 
a competency sufficient for his support; but even then he did not desist from active 
duties, until failing health and devotion to a new study,
compelled him to husband his strength.  His chief branch of practice was
obstetrics, to which he paid much careful attention, and in which he was very
successful. He was accustomed to make a note of every such case that was under
his care, and a small volume, still preserved, shows the exactness with which
he noted every event connected with his obstetrical practice.  Possessed of
an original mind, and meeting with a number of new and remarkable cases of
disease, Dr. Bond wrote several interesting papers on such professional subjects, 
and gave them to the public through various medical journals published in Philadelphia.  
His mechanical as well as surgical knowledge were
particularly displayed in contriving some useful instruments and apparatus,
which are now in general use by the profession, and which will long perpetuate
his name as one of the benefactors of mankind.


            The Great Work of Dr. Henry Bond - His "Watertown"

But the great work of Dr. Henry Bond, to which he devoted the latter part of
his life, and in which he became so deeply and engrossingly interested, was,
"The Genealogies and History of Watertown, Massachusetts," which is almost
unrivalled by any similar work ever published in this country.

This remarkable book, which attained its present magnitude from a very small
beginning, originated in the preparation of a *Genealogy of the Bond Family
which Dr. Bond had begun as early as 1840. 
                         

At first, as he has frequently said, he designed it to be a mere family memorial, but 
as he advanced in his researches, he found that much material other than what he first 
sought, grew upon his hands, and then the idea occurred to him of making it general in 
its character so as to include all the early families of his native town.

The work was begun, and as it advanced the author seemed to appreciate the
importance of the researches in which he was engaged.  His views are worthy
of special notice. He believed that "Genealogies, besides gratifying a natural
and enlightened curiosity may excercise a salutary influence, tending to main-
tain in their social position, families already elevated, and to elevate the
lowly;" and he also firmly held, "that when persons affect an utter indifference 
to their lineage, or a history of the past generations of their
families, and deride any attention to them as a foolish weakness and vanity,
they are contravening an innate principle, and it may be generally suspected
that they have some knowledge of a lineage they would consign to oblivion,
because it is untitled and without a good renown."

p.xi.          Dr. Henry Bond's Research for "Watertown"

While pursuing his investigations, Dr. Henry Bond visited various localities
in New England, and spent much time in examining town records for facts not
to be found elsewhere.  He employed persons to make copies of records and
valuable documents, and he was very materially aided by his friend, Horatio
G. Somerby, Esq., who made researches for him in England.

His correspondence on this subject extended throughout the whole country, and
he hesitated at no expense or trouble to unravel a disputed point or make
clear some intricate genealogy. For several years he gave nearly all his leisure 
time to the collection and arranging of the materials thus gathered
from every quarter and when he had so far succeeded as to bring this 
heterogeneous mass of dry and dull statistics into shape, he submitted the
question of immediate publication to his friends, and by their advice, the
first part was printed (but not published) in 1852.

This was done, as indeed may be remarked of the entire book, with the greatest
diffidence on the part of the author, who was as sensitive of the world's
opinion of his effort, as if he was freshly entering the arena. So modest were
his own ideas of the value of his work, and so reluctant was he to speak of it, 
that the book was nearly completed before even his professional assoc-
iates, those whom he met weekly in social reunions, and to whom we naturally
suppose he would mention what was so near to his heart, knew that he was
engaged in such a labor.  To one, who, entering the Doctor's study, found him
reading proof, he remarked, "I shall let you see this now, but dont speak of 
it to others."  To the writer, who made his acquaintance while in the midst of 
the publication, the Doctor said, that he did not care to have people know what 
he was doing, as they would be sure to laugh at him!

p.xii.

This may have been owing to the fact that in Philadelphia little attention
is paid to genealogical studies (in the 1800s). The great work was finally
completed and given to the public in 1855.  It met with warm praise both at
home and abroad, and the Doctor's heart was often made glad by receiving from
his friends their commendatory letters.

It does not become the writer of this Memoir to criticise this great work as
a literary labor, or as a correct and truthful Genealogical History of the
Watertown Families.  It speaks for itself and will ever remain an enduring
witness of the untiring energy, the unflagging research, and the indomitable
zeal of its respected and lamented author.  But this much he can say, that

when the last page was written and the pen laid aside, Dr. Henry Bond might
have exclaimed without fear of being criticised for egotism, "Exegi monumentum
aere perennius," - for, when the marble which marks his resting place shall have 
crumbled to ruins, this work will survive, and succeeding years, as they
rapidly pass away, will only add increased lustre to his name, and embalm it 
in the minds of thousands who shall yet tread the soil of his own loved New
England.

It has been stated that Dr. Bond was well known, beyond the limits of his own
profession, as a lover of antiquarian researches.  His renown as a student in
this department, led to his election to various posts of honor throughout the
country. In addition to the societies already named, he was also chosen a member 
of the Academy of Natural Sciences, the National Institute, the American Statistical 
Association, the New England Historic-Genealogical Societies of the states of 
Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Wisconsin and
Massachusetts.

In the month of August, 1858 Dr. Bond visited New England and was warmly re-
ceived by his large circle of friends.  Within a month after returning to Philadelphia, 
while passing through the grounds of Washington Square, he was
suddenly stricken down with paralysis, and although he rallied afterwards, yet
his nervous system was completely shattered and his mind was much impaired.
For many years he had suffered from an affection of the heart, and this sudden
prostration of his powers produced a marked change in his general health.


The first family Dr. Henry Bond reseached for his book, was of course his own
Bond family of Watertown

Robert Abbot of Watertown, admitted freeman Sept. 3, 1634, was one of that small

named Wethersfield, Conn.  His name is on the list of proprietors of Watertown, Mass., 
in 1642 although he had gone to Connecticut several years before.

p.45 [Bond]

On referring to Doomsday Book, it will be found that numerous estates were held
in England by families of the name BOND in the time of Edward the Confessor,
and through later years down to the formation of the survey by William the
Conqueror.  They held estates in the Counties of Cornwall, Dorset, Essex, Kent,
Hants, Berks, Bedford, Suffolk, Gloucester, Northampton and York and in several
Counties held two or more estates.

Whether these were held by a few wealthy families, or by as many families as there were 
estates, has not been clearly ascertained; but it is probable that the families were numerous.  
The most distinguished families of the name in
England, for the last three or four centuries,trace their lineage to Earth and
Holewood in the County of Cornwall; and some of the old writers of Heraldry
speak of stirps antiquissima Bondorum of that County.

There is a tradition - the very common tradition - that three brothers of the 
name of Bond, first came to this country a little previous to 1650.  One of them, 
Thomas Bond, said to have been a physician, settled in Virginia or Mary-
land.  Of him the writer knows nothing.  Perhaps he was the ancestor of that 
distinguished physician and surgeon, Dr. Thomas Bond of Philadelphia, the leader 
among the founders of Pennsylvania Hospital, who was born in Maryland,
in 1712.   Another of the three, John Bond, settled in Newbury, Mass., and was
a proprietor in 1642.  The other, William Bond, said to have been educated a
merchant, settled in Watertown, Mass.; and from him are descended most of the
families of the name of Bond in New England.

The results of the recent researches of Mr. H. G. Somerley, in England, tend to
discredit this tradition.  He has satisfactorily ascertained that the first
William Bond of Watertown was a son of Thomas and Elizabeth Bond of Bury St.
Edmunds, Suffolk County, England, and that he was baptized there in the church
of St. James, Sept. 8, 1625.  

This William Bond had brothers, Thomas and John Bond, older than himself; but
the Will of their father, Thomas, renders it very probable that all his sons,
except William, settled in England.  This Thomas Bond (father of William),
was the youngest son of Jonas and Rose Bond of Bury St. Edmunds.  It is probable 
that this Jonas Bond moved into Bury St. Edmunds after the birth of
his second child, as his eldest two children were not baptized there and he may
have moved from Hawley or Woolpit, where, according to his Will, he owned houses.  
He was buried August 5, 1601.  It is probable that the maiden name of
his wife was WOOD.  

Family of Jonas and Rose Bond of Bury St. Edmunds, England.

1. Oliver Bond, the "eldest son" to whom he gave his house, etc at Hawley,  
   England and £10.  Children:

         8. Elizabeth Bond bap. Mar 24, 1632
*In reply to an inquiry concerning these two Johns, Mr. Somerley says: "He,
(Jonas Bond), had two sons named John Bond living at the same time.  It is not
unusual to find similar cases, and in almost every instance the two sons are 
named John.  Why that name should be selected to double upon, I have been unable to learn."  
It appears by the Will of Rev. John Sherman of Watertown,
that he had two daughters Mary living at the same time.  It is probable that
he had one Mary by each wife.

4. Bartholmew Bond, mentioned in his father's Will.

Besides the families and descendants of William Bond of Watertown and of John
Bond, of Newbury, Mass., there were families of the name of Bond in Boston, Mass, 
from the middle to the end of the 17th century, who are not known to have
left any descendants.  There was a Robert Bond, who was an early settler (1648)
of East Hampton, Long Island.  Probably afterwards of Conn.  Perhaps he was a
descendant of Robert Bond of Bury St. Edmunds, who had a son Robert, bap. Jan 30, 1572.

There are numerous families of Bond scattered through almost every State in the
Union.  Some of them trace their lineage directly to emigrants from England,
while the lineage of others is soon lost in a vague tradition.  Of the latter class, 
several families in the City and County of Philadelphia, and in the
adjoining County of Chester, who say that their ancestors first settled on Long
Island and in the County of West Chester, N.Y.  Other families are comparitively 
new-comers from England and Ireland.

For some account of the Bonds in England see Burke's Genealogical Heraldic
History of the Commoners of England, Vol. I.

It has not been satisfactorily ascertained what coat of arms, if any, the Bonds
of Bury St. Edmunds or of Suffolk, England were entitled to bear.  The most
ancient one belonging to the name Bond, and not appropriated to any one family
or locatlity, is very simple, viz., sable,  a fesse or.  The arms of the very
ancient family of Earth and Holewood, Cornwall, England, which have been borne
by several scattered branches, are the following:

Arg. on a chev. sa. three Bezants. Crest, a demi pagasus az. winged and semee
of etoiles or.  Motto: Non Sufficit Orbis.  I leave this point to be determined
by those who deem it of such importance as to deserve an elaborate investigation.
