      * Magnes W. Pond enlisted in the Manchester Light Artillery, 6th Regiment Virginia Volunteers as a Private on May 1, 1861 in Richmond Virginia. The unit moved to Servell's Point for training and his brother Atlas joined the unit on May 14, 1861. The unit was redesignated Company I, 16th Regiment, Virginia Infantry. The unit was reorganized as an Independent Company in May, 1862. After the Battle of Fredericksburg in which his brother Atlas was killed the unit was disbanded and the men assigned to the Courtney Artillery. Magnus was assigned to Captain William A. Tanner's Company L, Artillery, Jones's Battalion and later Cutshaw's Battalion. From the middle of 1863 until the end of the War he is listed as Absent on detached service. He was paroled on April 9, 1865 at Appomattox as a Private in the Staunton Artillery, Cutshaw's Battalion, Army of Northern Virginia. Source: National Archives Microcopy 253, roll 382; consolidated index to compiled service records of Confederate Soldiers Plymall-Poogstardt. * This is the only Pond family listed on the 1880 Federal Census records for Allegheny County, Virginia. The 1870 Va. census show a Magnes Pond residing in Chesterfield County, Va. According to the 1880 census he would have been born around 1835. Magnus would have relocated his family from Staunton City, Virgina to Clifton Forge, Virignia between his son Robert W. Pond's birth on July 11, 1879 and June 5th 1880 when the census for Clifton Forge City was taken. * Magnus was listed as employed by the Railroad, on the Allegheny Co., Va. birth register for Emma L.

W. on most of the records that I have found. There is a small cement marker with the initials M. W. laying in the family plot of Edward Pond in Crown Hill Cemetery, Clifton Forge, Va. None of the graves are marked however we know that Edward's first wife is buried there according to his grandson Harry Pond Jr. of Charlottesville, Va. Jerry R. Pond, Sr. January 1998 [Bulls, Buhls & Thornton Family.FTW]
