'Thomas Pound, a son of John and Sarah (Martin) Pound, was born in

Middlesex Co., N.J. July 28, 1767, died February 2, 1848, and is

buried at the Second Prairie Creek Cemetery, Vigo Co., Indiana. He

moved to Maryland with his parents and shortly after his marriage

migrated from near Cumberland, that State, to Nelson Co., Kentucky, by

way of the Ohio River on a flat boat, arriving there in April 1786. He

lived in Nelson County for a few years and then moved to the adjoining

Butler Co., Ohio on the Miami Bottoms, and in November 1816, to Vigo

being buried in the same grave. Thomas was short and of dark

complexion, while his wife was rather tall and fair, her hair being
