- 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.
