I am very glad that you took a chance on this dated query. My husbands line is through John Ponsonby/Mary williamson to their son John Ponsonby (b. Aug 16, 1816 Ennerdale, Cumberland, England) and wife, Isabella Robinson (b. February 14, 1819 in Lorton) John b. 1816 is a brother to your Esther. This direct line continues through Joseph Ponsonby (b.1843 Cumberland son of John b. 1816 and Isabella Robinson) who married Alice F. Steel. I would love to share notes with you.
