(22) Peter Pond, born in 1740, was probably with his brother, Charles, 24 in the "New Defence," as the prison ship records have his name with that of Captain Charles Pond. Peter was evidently of a roving, speculating disposition as may be seen from his journal.

[Editor's Note: The Journal of Peter Pond is an important historical document in connection with this Pond Genealogy, and will be published in the second part of this compilation]

Tradition says Peter Pond was knighted by the British government for services rendered in some emergency, but I have not been able to find proof. He was always called “Sir Peter;" he married Susanna Newell (of whom I know nothing); they had issue :

• 31. Peter, born 1763; married Anna Durand, daughter of John Durand; died in the West Indies, 1813.
• 32. Elizabeth ; married John Durand, son of John Durand.
• 33. And perhaps others (evidently reserved by author for future research)
