I, as well as other Bounds seekers received this message. I believe it offers
some extra details not found in Ruth Dryden's book Boundless Bounds. But I also

BOUNDS FAMILY
By Myron Bound <> and the Bounds List

Here is a direct descendant chart of the Bounds to Hooper connection.
In 1614 a John Bownd, age 20, sailed from London aboard the ship Hopewell
bound for the Barbadoes. Around 1660-65 land records in Northumberland
County VA reflect a John Bounds Jr. About 1670-72, a John Bounds, wife Ann
Hiam(Hyam) and son William left Northumberland County VA and went to
Wicomico County Md. This is where the Bounds history in America begins
although I have references to other Boundses living in Delaware, Virginia,
and or elsewhere in Maryland at about the same time. The records of the
births, deaths, & marriages of the Bounds family may be found in the Green
Hill Church, officially St. Bartholomew's, which still stands on the bank
of the Nanticoke River.

In 1692, John Bound was among the ones appointed to "laying out and
dividing ye county into parishes". John Bound was chosen as vestryman for
Stepney Parish and the Stepney Parish Church was built in 1698 and was
