It has been a long time since I looked into the James Bone records in Logan/Christian/Todd county areas.
Christian County was formed from Logan county in 1796 or 1797. Todd County was later formed from Christian County.
As suggested below, James Bone seems to have a relationship to Azariah Bone of Logan or Christian County KY. There is also a possible connection to a better researched Bone family as suggested below. I would consider the possibility that James Bone might be a brother, father, or cousin to Azariah Bone who moved from Logan/Todd KY to MO and TX. His son Azariah Blackman Bone ended up in Hopkins Co. KY.
Perhaps these notes will help someone researching these families. I am descended from a branch including John M. Bone family described below and another branch from his father-in-law Samuel Johnson.
Azariah Bone had a son Azariah Blackman Bone that married into a Samuel Johnson (1782-1846) family of NE Christian County KY. He married Mary Ann Johnson (1822-1907). Another Bone married a second daughter of the same Samuel Johnson. That was John M. Bone (1813-1884) who married Elizabeth Johnson (1816-1847). This John M. Bone was son of John Bone (1762-1842) and Catherine Adams. That John Bone bone was son of Thomas Bone (1734-1796) and Mary McCreary.
I don't know how John M. Bone and Azariah B. Bone might be related but it is very likely given that they married sisters. Also some of their children intermarried. Example, John M. Bone and Elizabeth Johnson Bone had a son Winfield Johnson Bone who married Mary Bone a daughter of Azariah B Bone and Mary Ann Johnson.

Biographical entry in Hopkins County History
Azariah B. Bone, Hopkins County, was born in Todd County, Ky., January 26, 1816 and is a son of Azariah and Nancy Anderson Bone, natives of Logan County, Ky., and of English and Irish descent respectively. Azariah Bone, subjects father was married in his native county, and soon after moved to Todd County, Ky., where he followed farming until 1826. He then moved to Cooper County, Mo., where he bought a farm and resided for many years. In 1844 or 1845 he moved to Texas and purchased land where the city of Sherman now stands, where he resided until his death.

He then joined the Protestant Methodists, and remained a member and minister during life. He was a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity. Azariah B. Bone was employed on his father's farm until he attained his majority. He then farmed on shares in Missouri for about five years, after which he removed to Christian County, Ky., where he farmed about seven years. In 1852 he came to Hopkins County, Ky., and bought a farm of some 200 acres near Nebo, to which he added from time to time until he was owner of well improved farms amounting to over 1000 acres, a part of which he has since deeded to his children. Here he has been for over thirty years extensively engaged in farming and stock raising. During the war he received a commission as captain … (second page missing from my file currently)
There are Mark, James, and Hugh Bone listed in 1820 Hopkins County KY census records. I believe I've come across previous research suggesting a Hugh Bone related to the John Bone family discussed above.
Hope this helps somebody.
