He retired to Dorset, where he died at Sandwich (Swanage), in the Isle of Purbeck, and was buried at Steeple on 30 July 1676. He is thought by some to be identical with the John Bond who was member for Melcombe Regis in the last parliament of Charles I, recorder of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis in 1645 and subsequently a recruiter in that district for the Long Parliament.Hutchins, Dorsetshire, ed.
