Reuben and Thomas Ponder, brothers, left Elbert Co, Georgia about 1808
and both served in the War of 1812, fighting at the Battle of New
Orleans. Both
were in MS by 1814 (tax list) and in Pike Co, MS, by the time of the
1816 state
census. They appear in the 1820 Pike Co Census and by 1840 were in
the Marion
Co, MS, census. They well may have never moved as Marion Co. was
cut from Pike
County. Shortly after 1820 Reubin moved to Rankin Co, MS, where he
raised a
large family and has many descendants today throughout the South.

!Jerry Ponder wrote in his Ponder book that Sarah
Holbook was probably the dau of Ed Holbrook who lived in Elbert Co,
GA in 1807
and later moved to MS. (THE FAMILY OF ABNER PONDER was published in
1990.
Note that the Holbrook Family History developed by Sara Fulks of Texas
identifies a Sarah Holbrook as a dau of Edy Holbrook. Note also that
Sarah
Holbrook's brother was Thomas Pinckney Holbrook, the source of the
name
Pinckney used subsequently by several Ponder descendants.

!9/19/90 Today I received information and identification of Sarah
Holbrook
Ponder. J.C. Halbrooks of 357 Snake Meadow Hill Road, Sterling, CT

of that
