BIOGRAPHICO-GENEALOGICAL REGISTER.
POND. " A Genealogical Record of Daniel Pond and his Descendants," by Edward Doubleday Harris, resident member of the Mass. Historical Society, was published by William P. Lunt, Boston, in 1873. This volume treats of all the Pond families in Mil. and the country at large. I am indebted to it for many of the genealogical facts presented under this name. I will commence with the wid. of one David Pond, who was m. by Rev. Amariah Frost, July 2, 1767, to John Thayer, jun., both being recorded as of Mendon, and, as I suppose, partly in the Easterly Precinct. This supposition may be incorrect, but I venture to proceed upon it.
POND, Mrs. MERCY, is believed to have been the dr. of Joseph and Mary
Daniels, res. near the Coverdale place, formerly Mendon, now in the edge of Blackstone. She was m. to David Pond, a native of Wrentham, by an early Baptist minister of Bellingham, Dec. 19, 1740. The "Pond Gen." makes the said David 4 to have been the eldest son of David,3 who was the 2d son of John,2 who was a son of Daniel.1 David 4 was b. in Wrentham, Jan. 31, 1719-20. He seems to have been a roving adventurer, and a speculator in lands; to have owned various estates in Mendon, Uxbridge, and Douglas; to have become at length bankrupt; to have fled to parts unknown; and, in 1761, to have been reported dead. He left 2 chn .; viz., -
SAMUEL, b. Ashuelot, N.H., March 2, 1742; and SEVA, b. in Mendon, June 13, 1747.
As before said, his wid., Mercy (Daniels) Pond, became the wf. of John Thayer, jun. See "Pond Gen.," p. 34.
POND, AARON 4 (Ezra,3 Robert,2 Daniel 1), saddler; set. in Holl., now a part of Braggville. He bought of Jonathan Jones, one of the Holliston race of Joneses, a dwelling-house and farm of 72 acres, close on our border. For his 1st wf. he m. Elizabeth, dr. of Thomas and Elizabeth Jones, Holl., Nov. 2, 1759. She d. April 27, 1790. For his 2d wf. he m. wid. Ruth French of Mendon. She was originally Ruth Daniels of Holl., and became the wf. of Samuel French in 1767. She d. Feb. 27, 1793. For his 3d wf. he m., Oct. 10, 1793, wid. Elizabeth Bridges. He d. Oct. 25, 1815. His chn., all by his 1st wf., were, -
MILCHA, b. Aug. 24, 1760; m. Elijah Bullard, Holl.
AARON, b. July 10, 1763; who lived and d. in Holl.
THEODORE, b. Oct. 10, 1765; lived in Sherborn, Holl., and last Mil.

ZADOC, b. Nov. 20, 1771; set., lived, and d. in Hop.
JONATHAN, b. March 21, 1774; set. in Holl., and then lived in Med.
POND, AARON5 (Aaron,4 Ezra,3 Robert,2 Daniel1), capt. of militia; m., April 13, 1786, Silence Underwood, dr. of Joshua and Lydia (Eames) Underwood of Holl. He d. Nov. 20, 1815. She long survived him, and became the wf. of John Claflin, sen., dying April 5, 1844. The chn. of Aaron and Silence (Underwood) Pond, all b. in Holl., were, -
SYLVIA, b. June 19, 1787; m. Simeon Leland, 1806, and removed to Vt.
ANNA, b. Aug. 3, 1789; m. Jesse Despeaux, Sept. 10, 1807.
