503 !The relationship of Abner Jefferson Ponder to Daniel Ponder has not been proven as of this date 19 aug 1991. This appears to be a good guess for a wide variety of reasons, some of which will be explained below.

!The first known record of Abner Jefferson Ponder, born 1755, seems to be about 1781 when he fought in the Rev. War, probably at King's Mountain and Cowpens in SC. There have been several theories as to who Abner's father was; many serious Ponder researchers, including myself, have concluded that Daniel Ponder and Jemima Bennett were his parents.
Others have speculated that he was born in Baden, Germany, and migrated to the USD before 1780. Spence and Spence in their book, "A History of Hickman County, Tennessee," published in 1900 state that Abner J.Ponder was born in Germany in 1755. This possibility is supported by two other facts. The first is a letter written by Abner J. Ponder's grandson, Col. Abner Jefferson Ponder, dated 27 Jan 1904 from Doniphan, MO, to a Mr. Joseph Brown in Delaware in which the grandson writes that his grandfather was of (Dutch) German descent.
A second supporting fact is that in 1832 a large family named Ponder led by Valentine and William Ponder, came from Baden Germany, and settled in MO along the MS River and near many of the descendents of Abner J. Ponder. This could be coincidence since many other German families settled in the same area at that time.
None of these possibilities have been proven or disproved. So, to date, Abner Jefferson Ponder's life before 1781 remains a mystery. There seems to be no ties between the Ponder name and the English family names of Pounder, Pinder, or Pender except as misspelling by clerks and record keepers.
After the Rev. War it is known that Abner J. Ponder was in Virginia, furthering the possibility that he was the son of Daniel and Jemima Bennett Ponder who lived for a time at Buffalo Gap, Virginia. John Reuben Ponder, a son of Abner, was born in Virginia in 1785. Soon after, however, Abner J. Ponder was known to have been in Abvbeyville Co, SC, and by 1787 was in Elbert Co, GA. His second son, Thomas Ponder, was born in GA in 1787 or 1788. It is believed that Abner J. Ponder was back in Abbeyville Co, SC in 1790 and then back in Elbert Co, GA by 1791.
"Abner" was a very common name in the Ponder family. The Abner Ponder who
married James Knox and lived in SC and GA is often confused with Abner Jefferson Ponder, but that Abner seems to have been Abner Jefferson Ponder's
nephew, although that has not been proven either.
By 1806 Abner J. Ponder had moved his family to Hickman County, TN. An
account of this move if given in "A History of Hickman Co, TN," which tells of
Abner's settling at Bon Aqua Springs. In was in this account that Abner Jefferson was reportedly born in Germany. (See "The Family of Abner Ponder,"
compiled by Jerry Ponder and Eldon Dow Vandiver, 1989, published by Ponder
Books of Doniophan, MO, for a more extensive account of this move and for
additional information on Abner Jefferson.
While it has long been believed that Abner Jefferson was a Rev. War veteran, it was not until 1988/89 that Jerry Ponder, a descendant of Abner Jeffgerson, and the primary author of "The Life of Abner Jefferson Ponder," clearly proved his Revolutionary War service. On October 6, 1989, the Tennessee Daughters of the Revolution dedicated a grave marker to Abner Jefferson Ponder, a Revolutionary War veteran. Jerry Ponder of MO, Pat Saupe of Indiana, Catherine and Thomas C. Ponder of Texas, among others, attended this moving event. Pat Saupe provided me pictures of the guests and of the cemetery and headstone. Pictures of the event, including the headstone, appear in Jerry Ponder's "Life of Abner Jefferson Ponder." A twenty-year genealogical search had finally culminated in identifying most of Abner's descendants with the family history and clearly establishingh the war record of our progenitor.

In the census of 1830, Hickman Co, TN, page 62 we find Abner Ponder and Archibald Ponder. They also appear in the 1832 Census of Hickman Co, Tn.2 		PONDER, Abner Jefferson (I13970)

and next
show up in the War of 1812 fighting at New Orleans. Following his
discharge,
he appears in Marion Co, MS, where he was a Justice of the Peace
before
coming to Simpson County with his family. He married Margaret
Crawford in
Marion Co, MS, following the death of his first wife Polly Graham
whom he had
married 27 Jan 1807 in TN (dau of John and Lennah Graham) After his
marriage
Thomas moved to Louisiana with his brother Reuben Ponder.

Thomas appears as Household
#208, living adjacent to his son, Abner J. Ponder, and near James,
Abner,
and Reuben Ponder. Abner and James were sons of Reuben.

Thomas Ponder is identified as one of seven sons of Abner Ponder of
Hickman
Co, TN, in a letter by William Miles Ponder, written in 1904, and as
a brother
to John Reuben Ponder. William Miles Ponder also identifies Thomas'
ancestor
as being from Scotland and landing at or near the Cape Fear River,
near
Wilmington, NC prior to the Rev. War. 		PONDER, Thomas (I13950)

(note not MCGUIN) was the third wife of Abner J. Ponder.
The second wife is named as Sarah Burden.

!Letter, dated 5 Nov 1988, from Pat Saupe identified first name of
Abner's
wife as Sarah. He found a deed where James M. Ponder, son of Abner,
sold the
property given him by father Abner, except for the house and
property his
mother Sarah lived on. Sarah was then living in 1848. Pat notes
that she
may have moved to MO with her sons. Pat also found a record at Bon
Aqua
where A.J., A. & Sarah Ponder - 7 tracts land to Hardwick 14 Oct
1843, filed
for Reg 24 Oct 1858. Thus the name of Sarah was identified in two
records.
See Pat's letter for various land transactions by the Ponders of
Hickman
Co, TN from ca 1819 through 1888.

!Pat notes in the same letter that the courthouse in Hickman Co, TN,
was
destroye by a fire during the Civil War, thus destroying the earlier
deeds of
Abner Ponder. Only a couple of the boys deeds contain his "X's" she
noted.

!Jerry Ponder notes in his Ponder family history that Sarah McGuin
was Abner's
third wife. The name is spelled in various ways in SC, gA, and TN
as McGuin or
McGinn or shortened to Guinn, Guin, Ginn. Sarah Ponder was still
living in
1840, but her date of death has not been located. 		GUIN, Sarah (Mcguin) (I13955)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aimery_IV_of_Thouars
Aimery IV, Viscount of Thouars, was a companion of William the Conqueror on his Invasion of England in 1066. Aimery was the son of Geoffrey II of Thouars and Agnes de Blois, daughter of Odo I, Count of Blois, and Bertha of Burgundy.

In 1055, he allied with Geoffroy Martel, Count of Anjou, against William, Duke of Normandy, and he participated in the siege of Ambri?res, a castle built by William on the border of the County of Maine. After returning to Thouars in 1056, he joined the army of the Duke of Aquitaine to fight against the Saracens in Spain. He participated in the capture of Barbastro and brought a rich booty back to his home in Thouars.

In 1066, he was in England as part of the invading army of William the Conqueror. At the Battle of Hastings on October 14, 1066, he commanded a corps composed of Poitevins, Bretons, and Angevins. However, he did not settle in England, but received ample reimbursement and returned to France.

He rebuilt the castle of Thouars in 1080. He also was lord of La Chaize, near La Roche-sur-Yon, where he built a castle and a church dedicated to St. Nicolas. Early in 1090, he made war on Pierre de Mortagne and took his castle. He was assassinated by two of his own knights in 1093. He was buried in the church of Saint Nicolas in La Chaize.

In 1045, he married Aremgarde and their children were: Aimery; Raoul; Eleanor (or Aenora) who married Boson II, Viscount of Chatellerault. who were parents of Aimery I of Ch?ttellerault; and Hildegarde, who married Hugh VI of Lusignan.

Aimery IV married secondly Ameline de Maul?on, daughter of Geoffrey de Maul?on and sister of Raoul de Maul?on. Their children were Herbert II and Geoffroy III.

515 "Armigerous" (ahr-MIJ-ehr-us) adjective

Bearing or entitled to bear heraldic arms.

The reason the notion of a family crest was brought into the language was that those who were armigerous (entitled to bear arms) used to put their crest or achievement (the full coat of arms) on their carriage, silver, etc. The stationers thought this an excellent way to sell more stationary and, in Victorian times, encouraged everybody, whether armigerous or not, to buy stationary with their "family crest" on it. There was no such thing of course and they used to sell it (and some still do) on the basis that "someone in your family or someone having the same surname as you was once granted this crest - as part of their achievement. Thereby they sold more stationery. And engravers flourished. The Heralds, meanwhile, lost a bit of business as their services (awarding coats with variations because no two people can have the same coat) were less sought after.

The Shields used are family Logos, each individual with armigerous rights had individual full coats of arms to reflect their personal achievements. 		Source (S747)

520 "Bernard Rogers, b. 1543-at Wittenburg, Saxony; who after receiving some education in Germany & upon reaching maturity, also returned to England, went to the northern part there of and finally crossed the border into Scotland & got his wife, where he is alleged to have temporarily settled and m. ab. 1564, N.N.

(by John Cox Underwood-published in 1911)

There are those that believe that Bernard died on: 11 Novemeber 1563 in St Dunstan in the West, City of London ("England Deaths and Burials, 1538-1991," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JDHZ-22W : 10 February 2018), Barnard Rogers, burial 11 Nov 1563; citing St. Dunstan-In-The-West, London, England, index based upon data collected by the Genealogical Society of Utah, Salt Lake City; FHL microfilm 396,193.), the same parish that his brother, Ambrose, lived in, and that he never married or had children. And that his name was used in conjunction with Thomas Matthew as part of a fraudulent scheme in the 1900's to connect people with money, to a pedigree with Bernard's father, John Rogers the 1555 martyr.

526 "Emigrated to Maryland in 1671. Brought over by Captain John Boddy.
This line of Summers are believed to come from England. The first reported Summers in this line was a John Summers. On 18 December 1671, a Captain John Boddy...having transported 12 persons to Maryland to inhabit, among whom was JOHN SUMMERS, proved his right to 600 acres of land. (Research Note: This ownership of land was needed to Immigrate at this time by the King of England wishing to stem the tide of Immigrants leaving) (Note: John Summers age was then above 21 to have purchased this land BEFORE LEAVING)

John Summers was believed to be between 16 and 25 years of age (born about 1650), this being the age of most transported. He would have faced a doubtful crossing of the Atlantic. A most dangerous thing at those times, where sickness, on board fires and ship wreaks were only some of the fears. The crossing if it went well would have taken 2 months. Most of the time spent below decks in cramped quarters with little light, sanitation or ventilation. Many died of disease on these journeys and John would had to have the true Pioneer spirit to make this trips.

John showed himself to be a rugged individualist, by 1682 he was already paying ground rent (tax) on 120 acres of land called Pitchcraft. It was on the Westside of the Patuxent River in the freshes, in Calvert County, later called Prince Georges, County. As most people of the time he was a Planter (Farmer) by trade. He also was active in the community. He testified for a Edward Gold (a Negro) and his freedom in June 1692. He served on Jury duty twice in 1698, and was appointed overseer of the Mount Calvert Hundred (a piece of property). He was married to a Rebecca Dent and had 4 children; William Summers, John Summers 2nd, Sarah Summers and Lucy Summers. He died about 1705 and left his estate to his Wife Rebecca. When she remarried (to a Henry Mackbee in 1708) the estate went to his two sons. Rebecca died about 1711. 		SUMMERS, John William (I30936)

528 "Families of Early Hartford, Conn." by Lucius Barnes Barbour:
Thomas and Susannah were early members of the first Church in Hartford. They separated to the second church on February 12, 1670 of which they were original members. Thomas Bunce's name is on the Founders Monument in Hartford, CT. Thomas was commonly called Captain.

"Soldiers of King Philip's War, 1675" by George M. Bodge, Boston, 1906 lists a Thomas Bull, enlisted in Dedham, MA on 9 of Xber, 1675, April 1676, and June 24, 1676. It's unknown if this is the same Thomas Bull. Also, this source lists a Thomas Bull from Hartford, CT under the enlistment year of 1637 serving under Capt. John Mason, was in the Pequot War, and received grants of land for service. It's unknown if this is the same as Thomas Bull.
"Connecticut Soldiers in the Pequot War of 1637" by James Shepard, Meriden, CT, 1913, citation supplied by Cynthia - Internet Contact ([email protected]) shows that Thomas Bull enlisted from Hartford; was first at Boston or Cambridge in 1635; Hartford 1636; was in command at the Fort at Saybrook in 1675 [King Phillip's War]; died 1684. Had 7 children...In 1639, Thomas Bull informed the court (at Hartford) that a musket marked "I.W." was taken up at Pequanocke, which was received to be John Wood's who was killed at the river's mouth.

540 "Information from Howard Crose" Sent to me by Linda Crose in 2000.

Christian Crose can be found on the 1st cenus of 1782, List of Vincent Williams Gent, Hampshire Co, Va. show 11 members.

Christian disinherited Michael Crose his son because Michael married his sisters daughter (his niece), however Christian gave Michael's share to his children and grandchildren.

Solomon Crose (Christian's son) states that Christian and Barbara Crose were both born in Virginia.

The Crose Family pioneers started with Christian Crose as the partiarch of the family in Augusta county, VA. Then Frederick Co. Va. was formed from Orange and Augusta Counties in 1728-43. Hampshire Co. Va. was formed from Frederick Co. in 1754. Hardy Co.,Va. was formed from Hampshire Co. in 1785. The present Grant Co, WV was formed from Hardy Co. in 1866. Early records have Christian Crose in all of the above counties but yet he has lived on Patterson Creek near Williamsport, WV since the first record in 1757.

In year 1757, Christian Crose had in his household, his wife and three children, Elizabeth, Henry, and Philip. During the French and Indian Wars his family and his neighbors would travel over the mountains nine miles to Fort Pleasant now known as Fort Old Fields. The Shawnee Indians in 1754, the year Hampshire County was formed, were the indians who attacked the area between the Hardy County Area and the Monongalia River to the West.

In the spring of 1756, one of the marauding groups of indians, of about sixty of seventy warriors, said to be under the leadership of Shawnee Chief Killbuck, raided a home about 15 miles up the "South Fork of the river Wappatomake", killed and scalped one woman, a Mrs. John Brake, and took another, a Mrs. Neff, prisoner.

The log cabin that Christian Crose built and lived in was burned by the Confederates during the Civil War. Another log cabin was built and still referred to as the Croses Cabin. The second log cobin was torn down in 1973 and a mobile home rests on its foundation. The fresh water spring that was used by Christian Crose is still in use today.

Exerts from Christian Crose will Quote "Also my will is that my son Michael Crose shall have no part in his possession but that his children shall have his part of share which is to equal the share of each of the -- residue of my children." Michael Crose, it is assumed, married his niece Mary Ross against the wishes of his father Christian Crose.
