Major John Bond was a member of the House of Burgesses 1653-54. He served in the House until 1660 with the exception of 1656 when he was sheriff. He was also a Justice of the County Court in 1659-1660 but was evidently a Puritan for he was expelled from his office of Justice in the Assembly of 1656-1660 for his "schismatical tendencies." His son, John Bond, Jr., married a daughter of George Bell. 478
