Born in King William Co. since Dannett did not move his family to Spotsylvania until 1721.
w/o John Bernard, Sr. m. 5-2-1729. John Jr. buried in Clarke Co., VA believed to be her son.
"In 1739,ten years after their marriage, John & Mary purchase 200 acres of land on Horseley Creek in what is now Fluvanna Co., Virginia. It was here and in this vicinity where they lived the remander of their lives."
Children believed to be: 1)Judith 1731, 2)Rebecca, 3)John 1736, 4)Elizabeth 1737, 5)Abner 1738, 6)Francois 1742, 7) Peter 1747.
The Bernards with other Huguenots migrated from France to England during the latter half of the sixteen hundreds seeking religious freedom. Some of these Huguenots including Peter Bernard came to America about 1700. John Bernard, son of this Peter Bernard, married Mary Abney on May 2, 1729. Ten years later in 1739, John and Mary bought two hundred acres of land on Horseley creek in what is now Fluvanna county, Virginia. it was here and in this vicinity that they lived the remainder of their lives. They evidently had a large family, but until recently records have been available for only two of their children, John, born in 1736, and Elizabeth who was carried away by the Indians when she was a child. Based on recent discoveries, however, indisputable evidence is now available to prove that Abner, Peter and at least two or more unnamed girls were children of John Bernard and Mary Abney.
