Even while held in bondage by owners in Norwich and Colchester, Connecticut, Pomp Mundo performed outside labor, saving money in hopes of purchasing his freedom. His first two attempts to do so failed before he was sold to Rev. Samuel Peters of Hebron for 12 shillings. Rev. Peters attempted to manumit Pomp Mundo, but Hebron’s selectmen refused to recognize the manumission. The cause of their refusal is unclear, but it may have reflected a reluctance to assume financial responsibility if Pomp Mundo came to want. After Rev. Peters, a Loyalist, was driven from Hebron in 1774 by the Sons of Liberty, Pomp Mundo and the other individuals Peters enslaved were turned off the property by the new state government but not freed. Pomp Mundo married a woman named Rachel and the first of their eight children was born in August 1775. Records do not show how or where Mundo and his family lived during the war.  

In January 1789, the Connecticut General Assembly reviewed a series of petitions to free Cesar and Lois Peters and their children, another Hebron family who had been enslaved by Rev. Peters. The review led to both the Peters and Mundo families gaining their freedom. Pomp and Rachel Mundo and their family moved to nearby Lebanon but were sent back to Hebron when they could not support themselves. By 1796, Mundo was reportedly living and working in Thetford, Vermont. He is said to have died in poverty sometime in the1820s.
