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".

Birth:
Edwardstone is a village and civil parish in Suffolk , England . The parish contains the hamlets of Mill Green, Suffolk , Priory Green , Round Maple and Sherbourne Street , and the Edwardstone Woods , a Site of Special Scientific Interest . John Winthrop of Massachusetts Bay Colony fame was born in the village in 1588. Edwardstone has a cricket team which plays its home games at the Playing Fields, Boxford

Not far from Boxford, as you climb up towards the Waldingfields, you enter the parish of Edwardstone. There was once a big country house here, but Edwardstone Hall has now gone. Still, the gatehouse and walled park remain, and in the middle of the park, tree-surrounded like a secret, is the church of St Mary. We first found it walking those lanes in that long hot summer, and perhaps that is why I think of it so fondly. But it is such a beautiful place that I think perhaps I would have loved it anyway.You are welcome here at all times, says the sign at the gate. In spring, the graveyard is fresh and green, the last snowdrops competing with the crowned heads of the new daffodils. From the north side the church can appear fortress-like, the battlemented north aisle wall without a clerestory. But on the south side this is a simple country church. Even so, there is enough of late Medieval grandeur about it to guess exactly where in England you are. This was the cloth country, and Edwardstone was a wealthy parish in the 15th century. church is open every day, and so you step into a light, simple, homely space. The 19th century restoration here has left a beautiful rural atmosphere with more than a hint of the 17th century. The nave is cleared of clutter, with pamented stone floors. A simple 13th century octagonal font on a 19th century colonade sits at the west end, domed by a Jacobean font cover. The south windows are filled with late 19th and early 20th century glass of the highest quality. part of Suffolk was a hot bed of puritanism, and many locals would respond to the restoration of the Church of England in 1660 by setting off to the colonies to populate New England, and to give states like Massachusetts and Vermont the reputation for puritanism that they retain to this day
