----------------------------------------------------------
Eltweed POMEROY was born before 4 Jul 1585 in England. He was baptized in Beaminster, County Dorset, England on 4 Jul 1585. In 1629 Eltweed married Margery Mary Rockett. Their first son Eldad was born at Plymouth, County Devon, England. The three are believed to have arrived in Dorchester, Ma in 1632 just 12 years after the Mayflower arrival at Plymouth.
He took the oath of freeman on 4 Mar 1632/33 in Dorchester, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. He was made chairman of the board of the Dorchester town government in 1633. He was one of the first settlers and proprietors of Dorchester MA and first selectman. Their children Mary and John were born at Dorchester.
He and his family moved with Mr. John Warham's congregation to Windsor, CT in 1638. The couple had five additional children all born at Windsor; Medad, Calib, Mary, Joshua and Joseph. He owned two houses, one on the Palisade and the other on the Sandstone Road after 1638 there. This land was given as gifts to his son's Caleb and Joseph. He sold to Thomas Nowell, a parcel of land and his home lot in the Palisado on 4 Aug 1641. He was chosen for his town to determine the price any weaver should receive for yarn on 3 Jun 1644. Margery is believed to have died in 1655 just 3 years after the birth of their youngest child Joseph. He was listed as a freeman in Windsor, Hartford County, Connecticut on 11 Oct 1669. He sold to Walter Fylar 1 1/2 acre of meadowland in the Great Meadow on 25 Apr 1671 in Windsor. He lived with his son Medad in Northampton, Massachusetts in 1671. He died in Mar 1673 at the home of Medad at the age of 87. Tradition said Eltweed went blind and died 2 years after moving in with his son.
Pequatt Indians had stolen and killed Eltweed's mare in Connecticut. He came before the magistrates requesting help in restitution from the Pequatts on 11 Apr 1639. He was paid for the loss of the mare with wampum in the sum of Ten pounds on 4 Aug 1654. He was satisfied with the amount the Court allowed him.
Of interest is the fact that wampum was used as currency by both the Indians and the English during this period. Eltweed Pomeroy was the founder of the Pomeroy family in America
MIGRATED TO THE USA ON BOARD "MARY JOHN". ARRIVED IN NANTASKET MA 1632.
