James Bond was the son of Preston Bond (1824-1896) and Jane Crockett Arthur (1833-1922). His father, Preston, was born in Lawrenceburg, Anderson Co., KY and lived his entire life there. His mother, Jane, was born in Knox Co., KY and died in Depot, Whitley Co., KY. Both James and his mother were born into slavery.
James was born on a farm near Lawrenceburg but by 1880 he and his brother, Henry, were living with an aunt and uncle in Brush Creek, Knox Co., KY. A few years later James left Knox Co. to attend Berea College in Berea, Madison Co., KY. It is said that he walked all the way to Berea.
After graduating from Berea College in 1892 he then attended Oberlin College in Ohio and earned a divinity degree. By 1896, he was a trustee at Berea College. While a trustee he led a fundraising campaign to found Lincoln Institute in Simpsonville, Shelby Co., KY, a prominent all-black boarding school (1912-1966).
James was an ordained preacher in the United Church of Christ, a denomination that believed strongly in interracial harmony. He is known to have been the Pastor of churches in Birmingham, Atlanta and Nashville.
On the day before Christmas in 1895 James married Jane Alice Browne. She was born in Washington, DC, the daughter of Gilbert Dodson Browne (1832-1904).
James and Jane were married for 34 years and had six known children. In order of their birth they were Gilbert Dodson Bond, James Palmer Bond, Thomas Moore Bond, James Maxwell Bond, Horace Mann Bond and Lucy Jane Bond.
The 1900 census shows James living with his wife Jane and their two small children in Knoxville, Tennessee where he was the Pastor of a church.
The 1910 census shows James and his family (wife, 6 children & sister-in-law) living in Depot, Whitley Co., KY. His race, as well as his wife's race, is listed as "Mulatto", an archaic term for "mixed race".
The Bond family eventually moved to Louisville, KY where James was a well respected and influential supporter of civil rights. Their modest home located at 2549 Magazine is still standing.
James died in 1929 and is buried in the Louisville Cemetery on Popular Level Road. His wife, Jane , was buried there in 1937.
