  • Notes 
    • !Source: Family sheet of Reuben Ponder developed by Virginia Echols
      of Braxton
      and handwritten notes provided me by Cartherisne Ponder who had
      gotten the line
      of Harmon Roger Thompson, PO Box 4341 of McAllen, TX 78502. Harmon
      descends
      from
      Reuben F. Ponder, to James Madison Ponder to Lucy Ponder who m Joe
      W. Williams
      of Rankin Co, to Mae Williams who m James Franklin Thompson of
      Rankin Co, to
      Marmon Roger Thompson of Texas.

      !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
      06377,
      who has collected Holbrook information for over 10 years wrote: You
      mentioned
      that Jerry Ponder's book says Sarah may have been the daughter of Ed
      Holbrook
      .... Ed is really Edy, which is as he appears in the majority of
      documents.
      He was born about 1761 om (assumed as his father lived there)
      Goochland Co, VA.
      He lived in Wilkes Co NC where he is found in the 1787 state census
      of that
      county, along with many related Holbrook. He is not in the 1790
      Censlus of any
      surviving schedule. He and his brother, Jesse Holbrook, are found
      in GA later.
      His will, Nov 20, 1833 names the following children (it is not
      immediately at
      hand, so cannot starte that these full names all came from the
      will....:
      Thomas Pinkney Holbrook b ca 1808 GA d 1873
      Sarah Holbrook
      Son in Law Thomas B. Stanton who m Polly or Sally Holbrook
      Berrian Holbrook v 1794, GA
      Son in Law William Williams who m Jane Holbrook. Charity (Roberts)
      is named as
      his wife. She is possibly a second wife, they having married about
      1792 in GA.
      She was born ca 1762 land died Aug 25, 1852. Per his Rev. War
      pension
      application they were married the last of December 1792, Wilkes Co,
      GA."

      !5/12/91 Recent contact with Mrs. Sara R. Fulks of 908 Oakmont Lane
      North,
      Fort Worth, Texas 76112 resulted in her sharing with me a copy of
      her "Holbrook
      Family Notes" which takes the Holbrook line back to Ralph Holbrook
      and dMary
      Wilcockson in England.
