John Peter Bondurant [Sr.] was born circa 1710 in King William Parish, Goochland Co., Virginia., He married Sarah Rachael Moseley about 1729 or 1736. John died circa 1774 in Buckingham Co., Virginia.

John Peter Bondurant was listed as a vestryman in King William Parish in 1748. He is first mentioned in his father's will in 1734. 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 Bondurant Epling, indicates that John died about 1744 in Buckingham County, but before 1776, and that his death was recorded in Powhatten County. A GEDCOM received from Ruby Talley Smith indicated he died in 1774.

Notes:

In 1776 Boonesborough was again attacked by Indians. That summer Daniel’s daughter Jemima and two daughters of Col. Richard Callaway, were captured by the Shawnees, but rescued two days later.
Another Indian attack was made on Boonesborough in April 1777, and Daniel was wounded. Settlers continue to come into the area.
In January 1778 Daniel led a party of 26 men to the Lower Blue Licks to boil salt. He was captured in February by the Shawnees, but escaped and returned to Boonesborough in June.
September 1778, under the guise of signing a peace treaty with the whites, the Shawnees gather at Fort Boonesborough. They besieged the fort from 7th to 18th September, but the settlers held on, with only two casualties – DAVID BONDURANT, and London, a male slave of Col. Richard Callaway.
In the fall of 1779 Boone led a group of settlers from NC into KY, and they established a new settlement six miles northwest of Boonesborough which they called Boone’s Station.
While in Richmond, VA, in 1780, Daniel Boone was robbed of $20,000 in depreciated Continental scrip, and land certificates (including one from “JOHN BUNDRUM”).

DAVID BONDURANT (BUNDRIN, BUNDIN, BUNDRANT, BUNDRUM)
Now we switch from the life story of Daniel Boone to that of the one white casualty in the 1778 attack by the Shawnees on Boonesborough – David Bondurant.
Kentucky in 1778 was Kentucky District, VA, so its earliest records can be found preserved in the Virginia Archives at Richmond. David Bondurant had come into Kentucky District, and had made a settlement in February 1778 on “Tate’s Creek about three miles from the mouth thereof including the Walnut Bottom,” an area now part of Lexington, KY.
Indians made repeated attacks on small settlements of whites, and with the impending peace treaty with the Shawnees, we presume that David and his wife had gone to Fort Boonesborough to witness the signing. Their home was some miles to the northwest of the fort.
These eyewitness accounts collected by John Filson, and documents gathered by Lyman Draper, give a graphic account of the siege of Boonesborough.

From THE LIFE OF DANIEL BOONE, by Lyman C. Draper, edited by T.F. Belue, Pages 510-12
On Friday the 11th of September [1778] .... That night was the severest firing on both sides that occurred during the siege, commingled reports of the firearms and the vivid flashes of powder in quick succession, the one echoing back from the surrounding hills and the other partially exhibiting the dark forest in the distance, rendered the scene one of solemn grandeur. The constant flashes of the guns made it so light in the fort that the smallest article could be seen in every part....
Another tragic event occurred during that busy and exciting night. While DAVID BUNDRIN, a Dutchman who was posted in the south-west bastion, was looking through a port-hole partly closed with a stone, a ball struck close and split, one half penetrating his forehead, producing a mortal wound and rendering him speechless.
A little before day Boone called out to his men to cease firing, as they were necessarily shooting at random and were uncertain of producing any good effects....
He [Bondurant] lived a number of hours, all the while resting his forehead in his hands and his elbows upon his knees, constantly rocking his body in a sitting posture until all his brains by the action had apparently worked out of the wound, sometimes wiping away the oozing brains with his hand. [He is said to have lived 3 days.]
His simple-hearted wife, while her husband was in this dying condition, would consolingly remark, “it vas Got’s plessing dat de pall didn’t hit ‘im in the eye.”
Bundrin was a good soldier and had been wounded in the thigh when at work in the field the preceding spring [1778].
Draper had discovered John Filson’s interviews with survivors of that Boonesborough siege, and built this narrative from Filson’s interview of John Gass, and others. What came as a surprise was that Gass described David Bundrin [Bondurant] as “a Dutchman” and MARRIED. The quote of David’s wife’s comment, in broken English with a German usage, further suggests that it was Mrs. David Bundrin, who is not named further in the interview, who was “Dutch” – at that time the colloquial reference to a German-speaking person, not just a person from Holland.
The Valley of Virginia had a number of settlements of German-speaking citizens who had moved south-westward from Pennsylvania, and may have formerly been “Pennsylvania Dutch.” Was David’s wife one of them?
Might their marriage be found recorded in one of the early church registers or record books; perhaps his surname was mis-spelled, and we’ve missed it in transcriptions and indexes. The marriage would almost certainly have been performed by the minister or in the Meeting to which SHE belonged, and this should provide her name, and possibly parentage.
Calling David a “good soldier” suggests that he may have seen some military service, possibly earlier in the Revolution, or in the French and Indian War. Has anyone seen documentation? I have not; Clint, have you?
All able bodied white males 16 to 45 were required to do militia service in their home county four days a year for drilling, and when called out by the Governor. While this might be considered military service, would David’s contemporary have referred to his appearance at militia musters as making David a good soldier?
Since the settlement made by David Bondurant lay in the Kentucky District of Virginia, inheritance of his land would be governed by Virginia law.

Hening’s STATUTES AT LARGE ... OF VIRGINIA, vol. 9, pages 355-56. October 1777.
V. And whereas great numbers of people have settled on waste and ungranted lands situate on the Western Waters, to which they have not been able to procure legal titles, and the general convention of Virginia on the 24 June 1776 did “resolve, that all such settlers upon unappropriated lands, to which there was no prior just claim, should have the PREEMPTION or preference to a grant of such lands,” and it is just and reasonable that the lands in their possession thus secured to them should contribute by tax to the common charge....
That all persons who, on or before the 24 June 1776, had bona fide settled themselves, or at his or her charge had settled others, upon any waste and ungranted lands on the said Western Waters, and had not by regular entry, survey, or contract, ascertained the quantity of their claim, shall be allowed for every family so settled 400 acres of land to include such settlement, or such lesser quantity as the person entitled thereto desires....
Had David and his widow had children, his preemption would have passed to the widow and children. That the claim was awarded to JOHN PETER BONDURANT, if David died intestate (as he probably did), suggests that J.P.B. was David’s father.

War of the Regulation

Jump to: navigation, search

The War of the Regulation (or the Regulator Movement) was a North Carolina uprising, lasting from approximately 1764 to 1771, where citizens took up arms against corrupt colonial officials. While unsuccessful, some historians consider it a catalyst to the American Revolutionary War.

Causes

In 1764, several thousand people from North Carolina, mainly from Orange, Anson, and Granville counties in the western region, were extremely dissatisfied with the wealthy North Carolina officials, whom they considered cruel, arbitrary, tyrannical and corrupt. Taxes were collected by local sheriffs supported by the courts; the sheriffs and courts had sole control over their local regions. Many of the officers were deemed to be very greedy and often would band together with other local officials for their own personal gain. The entire system depended on the integrity of local officials, many of whom engaged in extortion; taxes collected often enriched the tax collectors directly. At times, sheriffs would intentionally remove records of their tax collection in order to further tax citizens. The system was endorsed by the colonial governor, who feared losing the support of the various county officials. The effort to eliminate this system of government became known as the Regulator uprising, War of the Regulation, or the Regulator War. The most heavily affected areas were said to be that of Rowan, Anson, Orange, Granville, and Cumberland counties. It was a struggle between mostly lower class citizens, who made up the majority of the population of North Carolina, and the wealthy ruling class, who comprised about 5% of the population, yet maintained almost total control of the government.

The primary aim of the Regulators was to form an honest government and reduce taxation. The wealthy businessmen/politicians that ruled North Carolina at this point, saw this as a grave threat to their power. Ultimately they brought in militia to crush the rebellion, and then hung their leaders. It is estimated that out of the 8,000 people living in Orange County at the time, some six or seven thousand of them were in support of the Regulators.

Although the "War of the Regulators" is considered by some to be one of the first acts of the American Revolutionary War, it was waged against corrupt local officials and not against the king or crown. In reality, many anti-Regulators went on to become Patriots during the American Revolution, such as William Hooper, James Robertson, and Francis Nash, and many other Regulators became Loyalists.
Regulators

Herman Husband became one of the unofficial leaders of the Regulators. Husband was originally from Maryland, born into a Quaker family. One of the major flaws in Husband's campaign was that he tried to invite good relations with the eastern regions of North Carolina, mostly unaffected by local sheriffs. Husband retained very little control over the group of Regulators, which generally went against his policies of winning over public sentiment by committing acts of minor violence at regular intervals.

Another leader of the Regulators was James Hunter. He refused to take control of the Regulators after Husband's departure before the Battle of Alamance.

Captain Benjamin Merrill had about 300 men under his control and would have assumed control over military leadership after James Hunter, but he was unable to serve in the Battle of Alamance.
Opposition

Governor Arthur Dobbs, who authored popular works at the time such as "Trade and Improvement of H'elend" and "Captain Middleton's Defense," served as the Royal Governor of North Carolina until his death in 1765.

Governor William Tryon assumed the position following the death of Governor Dobbs. Tryon had an extremely lavish home built in 1770 in New Bern (now known as Tryon Palace), which became one of the main points of resentment for the Regulators, who were already paying substantial taxes. William (The Regulator) Butler was quoted as saying "We are determined not to pay the Tax for the next three years, for the Edifice or Governor's House, nor will we pay for it."

Governor Josiah Martin succeeded Governor Tryon in office just after the end of the rebellion. His policies eased the burden on former Regulators and allowed them to be assimilated back into society.

Edmund Fanning was the main opposition to the Regulators. He graduated from Yale University, and he was generally regarded by his friends as well disciplined and firm. He held many political offices in Orange County. He was found guilty of embezzling money (along with Francis Nash) but was fined a minuscule amount.
EventsBreaking up the court

North Carolina's colonial court met in Hillsborough. In 1768, the Regulators entered Hillsborough, broke up the court, and dragged those they saw as corrupt officials through the streets.[1] They cracked the church bell of the Church of England, but stopped short of looting the church further due to their religious beliefs.[1]
War

While small acts of violence had been taking place for some time, mainly out of resentment, the first organized conflict was in Mecklenburg County in 1765. Settlers in the region, who were there illegally, forced away surveyors of the region assigned with designating land. Minor clashes followed for the next several years in almost every western county, but the only true battle of the war was the Battle of Alamance on May 16, 1771.

The governor and his forces which numbered just over 1,000, with roughly 150 officers, arrived at Hillsborough on May 9. At the same time, General Hugh Waddell, supporting Governor Tryon, en route with his contingent of 236 men was met by a large contingent of Regulators. Realizing his force was outnumbered, he fell back to Salisbury. On May 11, having received word of the retreat from a messenger, Tryon sent the force to support General Waddell. He intentionally chose a path that would lead his forces through Regulator territory. He made strict mention that nothing was to be looted or damaged. By May 14, his troops had reached Alamance and set up a camp. Leaving about 70 men behind to guard the position, he moved the remainder of his force, slightly under 1,000 men, to find the Regulators. About 10 miles (16 km) away, a force of approximately 2,000 Regulators (by some accounts, 6,000)[1] without any clear leadership or supplies was gathered mainly as a display of force, and not a standing army. The general Regulator strategy was to scare the governor with a show of superior numbers in order to force the governor to give in to their demands. The first clash of the battle was on May 15 when a rogue band of Regulators had captured two of the governor's militia soldiers. Governor Tryon had informed the Regulators that they were displaying open arms and rebellion and that action was to be taken if they did not disperse. The Regulators did not understand the severity of the crisis they were in and ignored the warning. Despite hesitation from his own forces, Governor Tryon allegedly initiated the main battle of Alamance on May 16 by shooting Robert Thompson, who was the first death of the battle. The Regulators resistance crumbled somewhat quickly. Captain Merrill, a Regulator, was supposed to arrive on the battlefield but was delayed. The battle was over with nine deaths for the governor's forces and about the same for the Regulators. Virtually everyone captured in the battle was fully pardoned in exchange for an allegiance to the crown; however, seven Regulators were executed for their part in the uprising.
Aftermath

Following the battle, Tryon's militia army traveled through Regulator territory where he had Regulators and Regulator sympathizers sign loyalty oaths and destroyed the properties of the most active Regulators. He also raised taxes to pay for his militia's defeat of the Regulators.[1]

Several trials were held after the war, resulting in the hanging of six Regulators at Hillsborough on June 19, 1771. Many of the main leaders remained in hiding until 1772, when they were no longer considered outlaws.

Many Regulators moved further west into places such as Tennessee, notably establishing both the Watauga Association at Sycamore Shoals (1772) in present day Elizabethton, Tennessee, the first independent white republic on American soil, and the State of Franklin (1784), another short-lived republic that failed to join the Union of the United States.

The Regulators are important characters in Jimmy Carter's historical novel The Hornet's Nest (2003).

Thomas Dodd Smith was born 17 February 1750. He was the son of John Smith and Jane Bunderant.. On 1 October 1785 he married Kesiah Bunderant and lived in Bedford County, Virginia. Family tradition says that Thomas Dodd Smith, father of Fanny Smith Harris, was a veteran of the Revolutionary War.

Thomas Smith applied for a Revolutionary War Pension in Washington County Indiana, when he was about 70 years old. On the 12th of October 1818, and on the 16th of June 1819, he appeared before Judge Davis Floyd of the Circuit Court of Washington County in the second Judicial Circuit, District of Indiana, and made sworn statements to the effect that about the year 1776 he enlisted in the State of Virginia in the company commanded by Captain Samuel Cavil (or, Cabba) of the Sixth Virginia Regiment; that he was in the battles of or near Albany in the State of New York, where Johnsons Indians were made prisoners and carried into Albany; also the battle of White Marsh, near Philadelphia, generally known by the name of Chesnut Hill; as also the battle of Saratoga at the taking of General Burgoyne; and that he continued in the service of the United States until the 4th of March 1778, when he was discharged from the service at the Sign of the White Horse on the Lancaster road twenty-six miles from Philadelphia in the State of Pennsylvania.

In 1820 the law required that a veteran prove his need for a pension. The following sworn statement, made by Thomas Smith and recorded by Basil Prather, clerk of the court, was apparently intended to serve that purpose:

District of Indiana...
"On this 13th day of October 1820 personally appeared in open Court (being the Circuit Court of Washington County in the Second Judicial Circuit, and having unlimited in all cases as well civil as criminal) Thomas Smith aged Seventy years Resident in Washington County in said circuit, who being first duly sworn according to Law doth on his Oath declare that he served in the Revolutionary war as follows: That he enlisted in Armherst (Amherst) County State of Virginia Regiment, in the company of Captain Samuel Cabbill of the Sixth Virginia Regiment , commanded by Col. Buckner, that he served in said Corps about one year, at the end of which time he was drafted into Col. Morgans Regiment of the State of New Jersey under the command of the aforesaid Cpt. Samuel Cabball on the Continental Establishment,and that his original declaration was stated on the 12th day of October One thousand Eight Hundred and Eighteen, and that I was a resident citizen of the United State on the 18th day of March 1818, and that I have not since that time by gifts, sales, or in any manner disposed of my property or any part thereof with intent there by so to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an Act,to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and Naval services of the United States in the revolutionary war passed the l8th day of March 1818--and that I have not nor has any person in trust for me any property or securities, contracts any property or securities, contracts or debts due to me nor have I any income other than what is contained in the Schedule hereto annexed and by me subscribed, to wit, Thirty nine acres of Land not paid for, 1 old blind Mare with a coult, 2 cows & 3 yearlings, 9 head of Hogs, l pair old gears, l shovel plough, 2 hoes, l axe, l oven, l pot, l dish, 4 plates, 6 cups & saucers, l old coffee pott & one chair. My occupation a farmer, but not able to pursue that business from old age and infirmity, Kessiah my wife aged about 55 years, weakly and unable to do much labour in consequence of having a confirmed case of the consumption -- which said property was valued by the Court at $114.50.
Thomas Smith

A file notation further reads: "12811 Indiana -- Thomas Smith, of Washington County in the state of Indiana who was a Private in the 6th regiment...of the Virginia line, for the term of three of three years (corrected to '1776 2 years') -- Inscribed on the Roll of Indiana at the rate of 8 dollars per month, to commence the 12 of October 1818 -- Certificate of Pension issued the 12th of July 1819 and sent to David (Davis) Floyd ...Salem Indiana -- arrears to 4th of Mar. 1819: $38.19; semianl all'ce ending 4 Sept. 1819: $48.00; Total: $86.19."

A last notation states: "Died Feb. 27, 1829"

It appears that his wife Kesiah outlived him, because she is listed in the 1830 Census of Lawrence County, Indiana. (Lawrence County adjoins Washington County.) However, her name was not found in the Census of 1840.

Thomas Dodd Smith, father of Fanny Smith, was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He was also known as "Devil Tom" Smith, a name he earned for himself by his daring as a soldier, it is said. During the period of his service, like so many of the poorly-clothed and equipped American soldiers, he had many trying experiences and was often in danger. Once, along with another soldier he deserted, but on the way home he thought better of it and decided to return. The other soldier went on toward home, but was killed by Indians on the way.

In the winter of those days the soldiers slept on the ground, and this is how their beds were made: The snow was first removed from the spot and piled to one side, and a blanket put down. Then the soldier lay down with another blanket over him while one of the other piled snow over the top, it being warmer that way.

It is said that for a period of about three months "Devil Tom" served as one of the Washington's bodyguard, and as such was often one of the last to be bedded down and covered with the snow.

Moses Harris, who married Fanny Smith, is reported to have said, "My father-in-law. Tom Smith, said to me sometime before his death, 'Moses, the Lord is going to establish His work in the earth, and I'm going to look to you for salvation.' This was hard for me to understand, because I thought he was a good man, as good as myself, and felt that his salvation was a sure as anyone's. But when the Gospel was restored and I accepted it, the meaning of his prophetic words became plain to me."

A search of the file of "Nauvoo Baptism" in Salt Lake City shows that in 1841 a vicarious baptism was performed at Nauvoo for "Thomas Smith, at the instance of Fanny Harris, Daughter."
