| Notes |
- !Source: Jerry Ponder's "Life of Abner Ponder," p 18
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.
!Reuben Ponder purchased 40 acres of land in Rankin Co on Aug 27,
1835, Section
13, townshipo 4, range 4
