Henry Pomeroy

He writes:

"In 1912, Albert A. Pomery, as part of his genealogy of the descendants of Eltweed Pomeroy, published many English records, including an impressive chart pedigree, which carried the Pomeroy lineage back sevenr generations in the family of that name of Berry-Pomeroy, Devonshire [Pomeroy Gen 1-124, especially 23-77]. In 1914 Elizabeth French demonstrated that this could not be true, and that the photographic reproduction of a manuscript pedigree used as part of the proof had been fraudulently altered [NEGHR 68:47-56, 70:55; see also Flagg 339]. The ancestry of Eltweed Pomeroy beyond his father Richard remains unknown

"The claim has frequently been made that Eltweed Pomeroy was a passenger on the Mary & John, but this seems unlikely. His first appearance in New England records is as a freeman on 4 Mar 1632/3, and this suggests that he was one of several West County immigrants who settled in Dorchester in 1632...."

(I.e., his mother is unknown, also).
