| Notes |
- !Source: Article appearing in the Hickman County Times, 13 Dec 1990, upon the dedication of the Ponder Cemetery in Bon Aqua Springs, Hickman Co, TN, where Rev. War Veteran of SC Militia, Abner J. Ponder, is buried. On this occasion a Veteran headstone, marking Abner as a Rev. War Veteran, was placed in the Cemetery where Abner was buried.
Jerry Ponder of MO provided me with land plats from SC. After the Rev. War Col. Robt Anderson was given quite a tract of land to grant to members of his Regiment. One of Abner's plots given in 1783/84 was in the Ninety Six District, just North of Abbeyville District, near the present day town of Anderson, SC. Living near to Abner's grant in the Ninety Six District was Benjamin Green. Then living near Abner's grant in the Abbeyville District was Robert Green. These two Greens must have been in Col. Anderson's Regt in the Rev War and are most likely related to Abner's first wife, Jane Green. Members of the Green family moved to Hickman Co, TN, and lived next to Abner Ponder and some of them moved on to Ripley Co, MS, with Abner's descendents.
Along with Abner, James, Amos, and John Ponder were all given Rev. War land
grants by Col. Anderson. They all settled on good lands very near to each other in SC which means that they were probably brothers. It is almost certain that John Ponder was the son of Danield Ponder who m Jemina Bennett.
There has been no proof thart the others, including Abner, were Daniel and
Jemina's sons, but all evidence points that way.
Abner had plenty of land, but didn't seem to settle down until he got to Bon Aqua, TN. He was in the Rev War until 1781 then was granted land in Ninety Six District in 1784. He was in virginia briefly and was there in 1785 as Reuben was born there. Then in l1786 he received a grant in Abbeyville Districrt, but in 1787 or 1788 he was in Georgia, as Thomas was born there. His grant in SC was almost on the bank of the Savannah River, so actually all he had to do to move from SC to GA was to cross the river. He may have had land and businesses on both sides of the river.
