SAD NEWS ABOUT EDYTHE MAXEY CLARKIn a letter from her daughter Mrs. Debbie Cole, 430 West H St., Purcellville, VA 20132, we have learnedthat Edythe and Eugene Clark have had to give up their home. Both now have Alzheimer’s disease. Edytheis confused in talking on the telephone, and can no longer write or answer mail, and both have gone intopersonal care facilities.We are all indebted to Edythe for her years of labor, and the two volumes she published of THE MAXEYSOF VIRGINIA, which included so many Bondurants and their kin. I’m sure Edythe would appreciate a cheery card. She is in Homewood Residence, Room 2207, 3910 GalenCourt, Sun City Center, FL 33573.

RADFORD UNIVERSITY HONORS THE LATE KEN BONDURANTIn a banquet ceremony during their annual “Partners in Excellence” banquet, last October, the LifetimeAchievement Award was accepted by his widow Carolee, parents Lillian and Hix Bondurant, and brotherBill Bondurant.“As a partner in his family’s real estate business, [Ken] Bondurant demonstrated a genius for envisioningand executing new uses for old buildings, a talent that helped prevent downtown Radford [VA] fromhollowing out like so many towns and cities of its size.In 1997, he and his family donated the Norwood Center to the university, providing much needed art andeducational space as well as a community center for cultural, civic and social events.


Bondurant served as a member of the RU Foundation Board of Directors from September 1982 until June2004. He and his family created an endowed scholarship for artistically gifted students in the College ofVisual and Performing Arts, and he contributed to the establishment and development of other educationalprograms sponsored by the Foundation. Bondurant passed away in June [2004].

BENJAMIN BONDURANT CEMETERYDavid Holland, e-mail: [email protected], sent this informative letter.“I am the conduit for info that may be relevant to your search. My wife, Claire Mabry Holland, is a directdescendant of Benjamin Bondurant as is her dear cousin, [Mrs.] Mary Thomas Burton (Mary Tom) Denniswho, although in her middle nineties is very active and has a sharp memory.Mary Tom enlisted Claire and me, and later others, to help recover the Benjamin Bondurant graveyard nearDresden, TN. After a lot of work that was reported in this newsletter, the task was done with a fence aroundthe cemetery, a gate, several headstones discovered and repaired and reset. There is also a new stonemonument that gives some explanation about the cemetery. We have tried to get more help to keep thisimportant cemetery in repair, but to no avail. All of us are getting up in years and we fear that the cemeterymay fall back into disrepair unless we can get more interest in the place.With that preamble, I can report that we found no BAYLISS in the Benjamin Bondurant Cemetery. MaryTom and Claire, after looking back through the great academic work of the late Don Bondurant found thatVIRGINIA ANN BONDURANT was the 9th child of BENJAMIN BONDURANT and SARAH EASTMOSELEY, who is buried next to her husband. Virginia Ann married first a Bayliss in 1830 and had onechild. She married 2nd a Jones and is buried in the Jones Cemetery near Salem, TN....Mary Tom is doing fairly well. Her eyesight is poor, but her general health seems to be good. She is a dear,as always.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: Thanks David for sharing Claire and Mary Tom’s information on the Baylissconnection. We’re grateful to Mary Tom who was instrumental in gathering up Don Bondurant’s extensiveBondurant research after Don’s untimely death, and brought it back to University of TN - Martin Library.It has now been microfilmed, and the films are available through interlibrary loan from the TN StateLibrary, Nashville, TN.

THOMAS BONDURANTMrs. Marcelle Bondurant Hoffman, e-mail: [email protected], has corrected the actual name of her gggfThomas Bondurant, Sr. (1792-1869) who has been called Thomas MORGAN Bondurant in severalpublications, including issue 64.“I have tried finding information listing him with a middle name. I have not ever seen his middle name ormiddle initial listed at all, and I have no idea if it is Morgan.Someone listed him in a book as ‘T.M.’ ‘The land, donated by T.M. Bondurant, is located on a side roadfour miles north of Uniontown [AL]...’I have a copy of the actual deed and he is listed as THOMAS BONDURANT, with no middle name orinitial. I also have a copy of his estate from Perry Co., AL, and he is again not listed with a middle initialor name. Samuel F. Bondurant was administrator of Thomas’ estate.Thomas is listed in the census as Thomas Bondurant along with his children, as you have listed in the lastnewsletter. Have you any more information that I don’t have regarding Thomas Bondurant, Sr.? I can sendcopies of these legal papers if you want.”

Mrs. Hoffman “returned from France in November [2004] and what a wonderful trip.I bumped into Claude [Bondurand] purely by accident in the rain looking for Genolhac and for his family’scemetery [at Belle Poile]. What a wonderful cousin. We had a nice chat but not long enough for I hadanother two hours to travel to our hotel in the Gorge of Tarn, which is a little more west of Genolhac....”

EDITOR’S NOTE: Thank you, Marcelle. I am correcting the data base and my files and deleting thespurious middle name. Glad you have checked contemporary records and his estate, since his “legal name”would have been used in the donation and administration.

EARNEST BONDURANTThanks to Clinton Bondurant, e-mail: [email protected], who found a stray Bondurant in a Canadiancensus.1906 Census of Alberta, Canada, District 19 (Calgary), Subdistrict 19, page 21, house 234, row 29.BONDURANT, Earnest, “rel. - H”, male, status - s, age 34, birthplace USA, immigration year 1906,Section/Ward 18, Township/Ward 32, Range/No. 24.

Clint added, “My thoughts are that he is one of the sons of CYRUS S. BONDURANT and purchased landin Montana during 1906. Nothing about this Ernest since then, but he was definitely alive at the time of


Cyrus’ death in 1910.”
