Pound and Kester Families

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Books treating of genealogy owe their existence, as a rule, to natural personal interest or enthusiasm. The present work, however, had its origin in another feature which struck the fancy of the author with singular force. This was the close and novel union between the Pound and Kester families which was the real incentive for the compilation of this volume. The ancestors of John Pound settled in New Jersey close to Pennsylvania, the ancestors of William Kester settled in Penn sylvania close to New Jersey; three children of John Pound married three children of William Kester, and in her ripe old age the widow of John Pound married the octogenarian, William Kester.
