Cens-1860 | 27 Jun 1860 | A few years after their marriage Henry and Mary were enumerated in Washington County on land valued at $1,000. Besides Henry (29) and Mary (26), the household included Nancy 6 [Henry's daughter from his 1st marriage], Sarah 2 and Albert 1.9 |
Another daughter was born in early 1861 and named Lizzie. However, both Lizzie and her older sister Sarah died in 1862; Lizzie from scarlet fever in July and Sarah from diptheria in June. John's father had passed away in May of 1862 as well; it must have been an extremely difficult year for the young families on Maiden Creek as Henry's brother James lost 2 young children that year as well.1 | ||

Cens-1880 | 15 Jun 1880 | The 1880 census for the Saltville district enumerated Mary and her husband Albert Bondurant living with Henry (50) and Mary (47). Henry and Mary's son Albert was present too [he would marry later that year]. The men were farming.10 |
Occupation | Although Henry is listed as a farmer on census records, family records state that he was also a Baptist minister.11,12 | |
Henry's 3 children who lived to adulthood all married and had families of their own, but in each case the children were left without their mother at a young age. Henry's daughter Mary Bondurant died in 1889 from meningitis leaving a son (2 children preceded her), his daughter-n-law "Mae" (wife of son Albert) died in 1893 leaving 5 children, and his daughter from his first marriage, Nancy Dungan, died in 1902 leaving 3 children. | ||
