    Notes 
    • BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. On 23 Jul 1630 Gov. John Winthrop wrote to his son John in Groton: "Commend me to old Pond, and tell him both his sons are well, and remember their duty to him. He must needs send his son John some more provisions" (John Winthrop, THE HISTORY OF NEW ENGLAND, ed James Savage, 2 vols. [Boston, 1825], 1:375 [FHL #974 H2w]). It is possible that the other son, not named, is Robert. John disappeared from New England recs and probably returned to England. Research in Groton and vicinity has identified William Pond and his sons John, William, and Joseph. No son Robert has been found, nor is Robert mentioned in William's will.
      MAR: No mar rec found. Mary Pond and William Pond petitioned for the administration of the estate of Robert Pond(?) on 10 May 1648 (Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, ed, RECORDS OF THE GOVERNOR AND COMPANY OF THE MASSACHUSETTS BAY, 5 vols. [Boston, 1853-54], 2:246 [FHL #974.4 N2s]). Widow Mary Pond was dismissed from the church at Dorchester and admitted to the Cambridge church as the wife of Edward Shephard. Entry is undated but apparently before 1650/1 (Stephen Pascall Sharples, RECORDS OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST AT CAMBRIDGE IN NEW ENGLAND, [Boston, 1906], 7 [FHL #974.44/C1 V27s]). On 24 Feb 1650/1, Edward Shephard of Cambridge deeded land in Dorchester to John Blackman of Dorchester, "lately belonging to Robert Pond, father-in-law to the said John, deceased" (SUFFOLK DEEDS, 14 vols. [Boston, 1880-1906], 3:72 [FHL #493932]). Hence, Mary married (1) Robert Pond, (2) Edward Shephard, whom she married between 1648 and 1650/1.
      DEATH: No death rec found. See the inv of estate of Robert Pond of Dorchester, 27 Dec 1637, Suffolk Co. Probate, #6, (n.s.) 1:417 (FHL #594359).
