Here is some info on Pony, Mt.

I would also recommend that you bookmark this site for locating any place in
north America or checking out a surname to see if there is a place
associated with it.

Lat: 45 39 N Long: 111 53 W (represented in degrees minutes direction)
Lat: 45.650 Long: -111.883 (represented in decimal degrees and fractions of

Pony was developed as a prospectors camp when quartz gold was discovered in
1875. At the height of its boom in the early 1900s, the towns' population
was more than a 1,000. Today there is only a few year-round residents but
still visible abandoned buildings as reminders of when Pony was a leading
mining community.

Besides just sending you this info, I too have connections to Pony. Back in
the 1880-1920 ( I am somewhat stretching the dates here) my paternal
grandmothers family lived here. David Stewart Young and wife Savannah
Seaton Young, If you happen to run across this name or the name of Young
please if possible let me know. Good luck searching.

tell what county Pony is in?

Thanks a lot,

I know of a MORRIS family that lived near Sappington in the very early
years.
I knew Pat Morris quite well and her sister Jane Lile.
Same family?
