This Ponder Genealogy, 24 pages, was provided me by Mrs. Catherine
Ponder,
wife of Thomas C. Ponder, Houston, TX, in Oct 1988. The author of
the Ponder
listings is not identified anywhere. It appears that a descendants
of John
Ponder and Margaret Cummings developed it. (Nov 5, 1988, John T.
Palmer,
Santa Rosa, CA 95409)
!Ponder note, perhaps summarized by Virginia Echols, notes that
"they returned
to South Carolina before John's death, but their children remained
in Georgia a
that Margaret later returned to Georgia where she died in Monroe Co,
GA, in
1842.
