Hi Jim,
The big problem of mine is Allen Bond brn abt 1850 AR. I cannot find any info on him or his parents. The 1880 census of Campbell Co TN states brn AR,and researching his children the cencus states that he was brn United States/KY/
TN/AR,and cannot find him anywhere in those states,except a Allen Bond(Mulloto) abt the same brn date in I believe Palaskie?Co AR. I do have a picture of him or his father,and he does look Native American,and I believe he is wearing a uniform. Also the name Ballew/Blue/Ballue comes up in Chadwick,and Bond research from family tales.
Thanks very much.
