Bond
Burke suggests that the Bond family in Longford were descended from a Yorkshire family who initially settled in County Derry. Devaney states that around 1731 James Bond bought a property known as Newtownflood and renamed it Newtownbond. One of his sons, William, bought the property known as Farragh from the Wilson family c.1780 and his son, Willoughby, lived there subsequently. William Bond, of Newtownbond, county Longford, is recorded as owning 3100 acres in Longford and over 700 acres in Leitrim in the 1870s. The estate of William and Mary Letitia Bond, nee Lewis, including lands in the baronies of Drumahaire & Leitrim, was offered for sale in the Landed Estates court in November 1877. The Irish Times reported that the purchasers included some of the tenants as well as Lord Leitrim and Mr. O'Beirne, MP. Property in County Longford owned by Jane and Louisa Bond, as well as Samuel Blackall and his wife Catherine was offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court in June 1860. In 1864 over 500 acres in the barony of Granard, the property of William Bond was offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court, At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s John Bond was among the principal lessors in the parish of Shrule, barony of Rathcline. Thomas Bond held several townlands in the parish of Kilglass, barony of Ardagh. Alexander Bond was among the principal lessors in the parish of Mostrim, barony of Ardagh.
