!Jerry Ponder wrote in his Ponder book that Sarah
Holbook was probably the dau of Ed Holbrook who lived in Elbert Co,
GA in 1807
and later moved to MS. (THE FAMILY OF ABNER PONDER was published in
1990.
Note that the Holbrook Family History developed by Sara Fulks of Texas
identifies a Sarah Holbrook as a dau of Edy Holbrook. Note also that
Sarah
Holbrook's brother was Thomas Pinckney Holbrook, the source of the
name
Pinckney used subsequently by several Ponder descendants.

!9/19/90 Today I received information and identification of Sarah
Holbrook
Ponder. J.C. Halbrooks of 357 Snake Meadow Hill Road, Sterling, CT

He was born about 1761 om (assumed as his father lived there)
Goochland Co, VA.
He lived in Wilkes Co NC where he is found in the 1787 state census
of that
county, along with many related Holbrook. He is not in the 1790
Censlus of any
surviving schedule. He and his brother, Jesse Holbrook, are found
in GA later.
His will, Nov 20, 1833 names the following children (it is not
immediately at
hand, so cannot starte that these full names all came from the
will....:
Thomas Pinkney Holbrook b ca 1808 GA d 1873
Sarah Holbrook
Son in Law Thomas B. Stanton who m Polly or Sally Holbrook
Berrian Holbrook v 1794, GA

1792 in GA.
She was born ca 1762 land died Aug 25, 1852. Per his Rev. War
pension
application they were married the last of December 1792, Wilkes Co,
