Yes, her name is given as Nancy...not Nancy Ann. I'm going to type in the bio as it appears in Vm. 1, pg 230 (& thanks for that info).....
BARNEY B. BOND -- born in Tyler county, July 8, 1825, is a grandson of one of the earliest and most prominent of the settlers in the country. He is of English descent, his great, great, (sic) grandfather, Peter Bond, having been born in England, as was the wife he chose. They came to America, and Benjamin Bond, great grandfather of Barney B., was born in Baltimore, Maryland. Benjamin Bond, jr., grandfather of Barney B., married Nancy Barney, and in 1808 they came to Tyler county, where their days were ended. John Bond, their son, was a soldier of the 1812 war, married Margaret Furbee, and the subject of this sketch is one of their children. John Bond died March 11, 1841, and his widow is still living in this country. The marriage of Barney B. Bond and Ellen C. Eslack was consummated in Ritchie county, now West Virginia, February 3, 1853. She was born in Harrison county, then part of Virginia, May 22, 1834, and her parents, Thomas W. and Eliza C. (Marsh) Eslack, died in the county of ther birth. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Bond were born: Inez A., April 30, 1854; Jennie I., March 4, 1856, died December 7, 1857; Viola, July 6, 1860, died October 1864; a son, April 11, 1863/(note....no name given); Corrilia Carmenta J., July 4, 1870; Olive M., December 29, 1872 -- the living children are at home. Barney B. Bond held commission under the State of Virginia as captain of militia; he filled the office of constable, 1858-9, and was justice of the peace in 1872. In Centerville district he owns and carries on a first-class farm, and receives his mail at Bearsville, Tyler county, West Virginia.
I have heard that they had to pay to have the bio printed in Hardesty's books and from all the ones listed it appears that most of the Union men did.
Happy Hunting & I hope this helps.....Sonnie
