Editor's Note: We are grateful to Lyle Rockwell for providing this
history, that otherwise would have passed away with Robert Pond, his primary living source. Of course, we cannot say too
much in appreciation to Mr. Pond as well, for sharing his insights and recollections. Please note that this history cuts off where living individuals appear who
might not want their personal information posted online. Should anyone want to waive this consideration, please inform Lyle at the
contact e-mail above and he will advise us how to proceed. You can also forward any corrections, additions or questions to Lyle who, in turn, will
inform us of any required changes.
The Pond's first came to America with
the fleet of Governor Winthrop in the 1630's. The Pond's were related to
Governor Winthrop by marriage.
Two sons of Phineas & Rhoda Wood
Pond of Smithville, Chenango Co., NY came to the same general area of Wilmot
Township and Colley Township. Alvah, 6th son of Phineas, and Orel,
1st son of Phineas settled in Wilmot near the Colley Township of Sullivan
County. Both families were enumerated in the 1850 census of Wilmot Township.
Orel Pond’s tombstone is found in the Colley Cemetery, Sullivan Co., PA,
however Alvah’s tombstone has not been found, but a newspaper clipping written by Rev. J. Merring, Terrytown, Pa., dated February 2, 1877 states he died at his home in
Wilmot January 21, 1877.
The 2nd
daughter of Phineas & Rhoda Pond named Malinda Pond Moffatt & her
husband Arthur Moffat also settled in Colley Township and are buried in the
Colley Cemetery.

Cyrus H. and Rhoda (Raymond) Earsley ... natives
respectively of Pennsylvania and New York State, came west to Minnesota about
1861, and purchased 160 acres of land in Utica Township, which was wild and heavily
timbered. By long and untiring effort, interrupted only by a period of service
in the Civil War, Cyrus H. Earsley cut and grubbed out the timber and developed
the land, also erecting a residence and outbuildings. There he followed general
agriculture until 1890, when he retired to the Village of Utica, where he and
his wife are still living, he being occupied in driving one of the rural mail
routes out of that village. They were the parents of six children: Wallace, now
deceased; Delbert E., of Elgin; Flora, residing at home with her parents;
Frank, a farmer of Fremont, Minn.; Anna, deceased; Edward, now living in
Winona; and James, residing in North Dakota ..." [Franklin Curtiss-Wedge,

Hiram came to Wilmot Township, Bradford Co., PA about 1849 from
Smithville, Chenango Co., NY and settled in an area known as Shingle Ridge near
the Sullivan County line. Hiram and his family cleared a farm out of the
wilderness, and used the timbers to build a log cabin home and used the rough
cut lumber to build the barn. Hiram taught school at Saxer HIll school, and
farmed. They raised sheep for the wool to be spun into yarn. Then Hannah would
weave it on a loom into cloth to make clothes.
