Notes:

!Pat Saupe of Moore's Hill, Indiana, feels that Daniel and Jemina
Ponder
may be the parents of Abner Ponder. There is no documentation or
proof of
this relationship found to date . I am not certain where the names
of these
children came from. Oct 1988.

!The Ponder Family History, 21 typed pages, provided me by Mrs.
Catherine
Ponder of Houston, Oct 1988, noted Daniel Ponder to be in Buffalo
Gap, Augusta
Co, VA, in 1763, noted issue of Daniel as Silas, Amos, Daniel, John
Lewis,
James, Malinda, Mary Ann, and Jemima...also notes that their father
(Daniel)
came to Oglethorpe Co, GA, and then to Jasper. Was this the Daniel
in Abbeville
Co, SC in 1790?

!Buffalo gap, VA is near the Maryland line where "the original
Daniel was in
1750." From Ponder notes provided me by Catherine Ponder of TX.

!Notes from Catherine Ponder of Houston reads "In 17__ three
brothers came from
Scotland to America, settling in Virginia and then South Carolina.
They were
Daniel, James, and Abner Ponder. Abner settled in South Carollina
and had a
least two children: James and Amos Ponder." NOTE DANIEL MAY HAVE
BEEN BORN IN
SCOTLAND!!!

!Family tradition is that Daniel had brothers who went to Georgia:
James, Amos,
and John. (See page 179 of Dunston-Walker-Ponder)

!11/12/1988 Jerry Ponder of Fairdealing, MO, writes "Recently I
learned of a
family Bible of Daniel Ponder, thought by many to be Abner Ponder's
father,
dating back to Buffalo Gap, VA, now in the possession of William P.
Ponder,
Madison, GA. I have asked for copies of the data pages in the Bible
but
haven't heard back from him. Anyway, there are now know to be two
Bibles
in existance (Other one is that of Amos Ponder referred to in letter
of 1904 by
Willis Miles Ponder, g son of Abner) which may hold the key to many
questions
about Abner Ponder...As soon as I learn anything, I will get the
information
right ouit to all of the serious Ponder researchers."

!Newsstory appearing in the Hickman Co. Times, 13 Dec 1989, notes
that Daniel
and family moved to York Co, SC, about 1770 and during the Rev. War
Abner and
several of his brothers bought in the Battles of Kings mountains and
Cowpens.
Afterwards, they enlisted for six additional months as members of
the SC
Militia.
