Who Were John Howard Bond's 1st Cousins?

Why should I care who they were? Because all of his 1^st cousins were my relatives also. From my research I found 49 1^st cousins on his father's side and 44 on his mother's side. There were 5 who were double cousins that showed on each side so the total number of 1^st cousins was 88.

First cousins share grandparents. John Howard Bond was my gt-grandfather, so his grandparents were my 3^rd gt-grandparents. The gt-grandchildren of any of John's 1^st cousins are my 4^th cousins, since we would share 3^rd gt-grandparents.

On Ancestry DNA there are over 1000 matches to me that Ancestry has classified as 4^th cousins. These designations certainly aren't precise, but it gives a range. So it is likely that some of John's 1^st cousins are ancestors of a portion of these matches.

Ancestry DNA has a feature called DNA Circles. There is a DNA Circle for John Howard's grandfather, John Bond, which includes me. Because the circles require the members to have a tree on Ancestry's site I can see who they are descended from. Among the 17 members of the Circle, 10 are descendants of John Howard's 1^st cousins. There are 5 different cousins represented: Sarah (Tong) Wise, Martha (Davis) Gustin, Albert Daniel Davis, James Nelson Davis, and Martha (Davis) Alkire. So my plan is to write about these 5 cousins over the next week or so.
