Bondet, Daniel, a minister of the French Reformed Church, was pastor at Boston and Worcester, Mass., from 1686 to 1695. He was then missionary to the Indians at New Oxford from 1689 to 1695, and afterwards became pastor of the Church at New Rochelle, Westchester Co., N. Y., from 1697 to 1704, at which time he visited England and received episcopal ordination.
