• Notes

  !Source: Ponder Genealogy, p 8. James Ponder's will executed 19 Dec 1815, recorded 31 Jan 1816. Wife Elizabeth, son John, daughter Dilly, son Abner, son William, Daughter Polly Johnson. This may not be the same James Ponder, RIN 1639. Source: Letter from Mabel Ponder Wilson to "Chee Chee", dated 12 Aug 1952: "I found that James, Abner, and Amos Ponder owned land in the old Ninety Six Dist in 1785-1786. James moved to Scriven County in 1801, Amos and Abner to Oglethorpe. One James Ponder served in the Rev War with Abner and Amos Ponder. These could be the sons of Daniel Ponder. Catherine Ponder in a letter to me, dated 23 Oct 1988, wrote "Last year we received correspondence from Emma Ponder Wood. She is a descendant of James Ponder, a brother of the Rev. soldier Amos. James m a sister of Violet Luckey. She and her sister have just finished a book on their ancestors. I just received a copy last week. I think the way it is printed is somewhat confusing and I have not had time to read much of it. She is charging $30 for hardbound and $20 for softbound. She is Emma Jean Ponder Wood or just Jean Wood, Rt 1, Box 38A, Chidester, AR 71726."
