Notes:

William Pond is in the list of the "Second Emigration" to Dorchester,
MA, which was about the time of Reverend Richard Mather's arrival and
settlement there. The earliest record of William and Mary (Dyer) Pond
was the date of "28 (12) 1641" (28 February 1641/2) when they were
admitted to the church in Dorchester, MA. William contracted to lay
the ground-sills of the meeting house in 1655, had a grant of land in
1656, and was a rater (tax assessor) in 1662, 1667, and 1675. He was a
constable in 1659 and was called Sergeant Pond in some records, so may
have been an officer in the militia.
William and his wife Mary (Dyer) Pond had ten children, all born in
Dorchester, MA. There may have been others, not recorded, born between
1641 and 1646 and between 1646 and 1656.

Notes:

In 1774, at the age of 10, David was a member of William Billings' Sacred Music School in Stoughton, David is listed under the heading,"Singers of Counter."(possibly todays equivalant of Alto). By 1786 he was a member of the Stoughton Musical Society.

David was a charter member of the Rising Star Lodge F. & A.M Dec 1799 and present at the first meeting in Stoughton,Mass in January 1800 (also present was Paul Revere) where he was elected Senior Deacon. Today it is one of the oldest Masonic Lodges in Massachusetts.

1800 census of Canton, MA (formed from Stoughton in 1797) shows David (26-44) with one male under 10, one male 10-15, three females under 10, and one female 26-44.

David moved to Vermont about 1810, from Canton, MA where he was a farmer, along with his brother, Elisha (also from Canton).

1810 census of Chittenden, Rutland Co., Vermont shows David with two males under 10, one female under 10, two females 10-15, and female 26-44.

1820 census of Pittsford, Rutland Co.,Vermont shows David (45 and over), one female 10-15; one female 16-25; one female 45 and over (Eleanor).

1830 census of Pittsford, Rutland Co.,Vermont shows David (60-69), one female 20-29 and female 60-69 (Eleanor).

In the fall of 1831 he moved with his wife and widowed daughter, Lucy (and two children), to Fredericktown, Ohio where his children Samuel, David, and Azuba already resided. Not clear if they made it to Fredericktown before the death of their son, David. Appears several family members died between 1830 and 1832.

David was appointed Guardian of his son David's children. Court records in Knox County (Box 11, #273) receipts were submitted by David Sr. between 1834 and 1839Oct31 for purchases (shoe repairs, clothes, schooling, etc.) for Eliza and Timothy. In Oct1834 paid taxes on a schoolhouse he built in District No.1 on the property of his son, David Jr. Those expenses were approved 22Oct1840 by the court. No other guardian receipts noted. As guardian in 1837(20Feb) sold at auction property belonging to the heirs of his son, David Jr.
In June 1842, Timothy Burr and Absolom Thrift were appointed guardians of Timothy B. Wadsworth aged 16 (Eliza was over 18 at that point), which leads us to conclude that David Sr most likely died that year or before (most likely 1840).
