Biography

“The Connecticut Magazine, Volume 10.” Page 163. GoogleBooks

(20) Peter Pond, born in 1718 in Branford, Connecticut; married, probably in 1739, Mary, daughter of Zachariah Hubbard of Boston. (See Hobby and Hubbard genealogies.). It is said, Mary had her first child on the day she was fifteen years old. She died June 16, 1761, in the thirty-seventh year of her age, while her husband was on a trading voyage in Detroit.

It is with this generation that the published Pond genealogies are in error and confusion by making their descent of the Ponds of Milford, Connecticut, from Phineas and Martha instead of Peter, his brother. On page 114 of Daniel S. Pond's genealogy is the line of Phineas' descendants; he died in Waterbury, May 12, 1750, leaving four children, Phineas, Jonathan, Abigail, and Martha. The court appointed Abraham Page and Daniel Cook guardians to the orphans, their mother having died, it is said, soon after their father.

Peter Pond was a fur trader, as was also his son Peter ; he died 1765, insolvent, and Captain John Gibb and Garrett Van Horn DeWitt were his principal creditors. He left a large family, many of them quite young. Peter20 quit claimed to his brother Josiah17 all his interests in Branford, March II, 1740 (See Volume 6, page 294, Branford Land Records). He then calls himself of Milford.
