    Notes:

    Extracted from the works of Joseph Francis Inman titled
    "Some Pond's of Southampton County, Virginia" Published 1970.

    JOHN POND, the son of JOHN POND and his wife JUDITH, may have
    been older than his brother, THOMAS, and may not have been born in
    Virginia. He was married about 1697 for his first child was born 17 March
    1698. His wife's first name was ELIZABETH and her parents have not been
    identified. The second JOHN POND died in York in York County 10 December
    1718. One ELIZABETH POND, a widow, died 9 April 1748 and she is believed
    to be the widow of JOHN. The children of JOHN POND
    and his wife ELIZABETH were: MARY, born 17 March 1698; JUDITH, born
    27 August 1700; ELIZABETH, born 3 January 1710; JOHN and MARY, twins,
    born 1 November 1706; RICHARD, born 4 January 1710; ESTHER, born
    31 March 1714; and DANIEL, born 15 January 1715. The first MARY died
    9 March 1698/9. It is not unusual in that era to give a child the same name
    as that previously given to a child who was deceased. In 1734 only JUDITH,
    about whom no further record was found, RICHARD and DANIEL were the
    surviving children of JOHN POND and his wife ELIZABETH. JOHN POND
    made a will dated 10 December 1718 and it was proved in York County,
    Virginia Court 19 January 1718/1719. In the will he devised land to sons
    JOHN, who died 2 February 1734, RICHARD and DANIEL. The land devised
    to JOHN and RICHARD was in York County, while the land devised to DANIEL
    was on the Chickahominy River. ELIZABETH, JOHN'S widow, qualified as
    Executrix.
    John Pond was listed on the Quit Rent Roll in 1704 in York County, this
    being the equivalent of a real estate tax list, and he was shown as
    possessing 112 acres of land.

    Notes:

    Extracts from the Works of Joseph Francis Inman titled
    "Some Ponds of Southampton County, Virginia" Published 1970.

    JOHN POND who died in York County, Virginia 18 July 1688 is the earliest
    ancestor of the Pond family of Southampton who has been identified.
    The wife of JOHN POND was JUDITH _______, who survived him and
    married OWEN DAVIS. The only known children of JOHN POND and his wife
    JUDITH are JOHN and THOMAS.
    The above named JOHN POND may have been the same one whose
    transportation was paid by ROBERT LAWRENCE, but is seems doubtful and
    proof is lacking; the latter obtained a patent of land in Isle of Wight County
    near the mouth of Lawne's Creek 28 September 1643.
    On 24 March 1694 JOHN POND, son of JOHN POND, deceased, petitioned
    the court to get control of property which was in the hands of OWEN DAVIS,
    whom his mother, JUDITH, widow of JOHN POND, had married. JUDITH was
    deceased when the petition was filed; and, she had been the Administratrix
    of the estate of JOHN POND, her deceased husband. JOHN POND probably
    died late in the year 1688, since an inventory and appraisement of his estate
    was recorded 25 March 1689 in York County. In the petition of JOHN POND to
    the York County Court the following language is found: "Now, ye said
    petitioner's brother being left in New England, which if living is aged 24 -----
    now supposed to be dead". The foregoing statement strongly suggest that
    JOHN POND, his wife JUDITH and son JOHN migrated to Virginia from New
    England. One alternative is that the family went to New England on a visit.
    The brother was born about 1670. In addition to the foregoing evidence of
    probable relationship with the Pond family of New England there is a repetition
    of given names of JOHN, DANIEL and SAMUEL.
    On 24 August 1698 THOMAS POND entered a plea for property of his
    father, which property was "Now in OWEN DAVIS hands".

    Stephen married JEWELL Catherine about 1670. Catherine was born about 1640; died on 21 Oct 1700 in Charles Parrish, York County, VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 9.  JEWELL Catherine was born about 1640; died on 21 Oct 1700 in Charles Parrish, York County, VA.

    Notes:

    There is an OWEN DAVIS BLVD. and a JUDITH CIR. located in Yorktown,
    Virginia zip code 23693. The Blvd. is named after an OWEN DAVIS who
    was a Blacksmith in Yorktown in the late 1600s. It is in the vic. of where
    Owen Davis and Judith the relict of John POnd resided. This is provided
    by Louis B. Pond (Feb, 28, 2000) who confirmed the data with the DOT.[Bulls, Buhls & Thornton Family.FTW]
