parents
East Mountain Road farm in the Owen District of Westfield, MA. He lived
briefly in Enfield, CT., then moved back to Westfield, MA where he
purchased the old Drake homestead on Russellville Road (c.1909.) He grew
and wholesaled vegetables to markets in Holyoke and Westfield, gradually
adding butter and milk. At the same time he tried to develop tobacco as a
cash crop but the weather patterns around the farm were not favorable.
WWI brought an increase in the price of milk so more milk cows were added
to sell along with the butter and vegetables. Louie's main recreation
after a day's work on the farm was Coon and Fox hunting. The hides were
stretched and sold. For entertainment, the Pomeroy brothers, who had
wonderful singing voices, would sing. "Brother Will would play the old
piano and they would spend long hours on an evening going through two or
three hymn books, each taking a part to create harmony." Louie sang
tenor. His son Ralph remembers being sent to bed early as a young boy,
but leaving the bedroom door open a crack to listen. "They would
sometimes sing quietly, then come in loud; sometimes one would sing
alone, then another, and finally all would sing the chorus together! It
was marvelous to hear!". Louie was also actively interested in local
politics and would volunteer each election day at the ballots, staying
until the votes were fully counted. Parents: Thomas Wright Pomeroy and Ann Eliza Bray.

Medad Pomeroy⁽¹¹⁰⁾ was born on 19 Aug 1638 in Windsor, CT. He died on 30 Dec 1716 in Northampton, Ma. From January, 1866 Gazatte:
Member of General Assembly.
Medad was born at Windsor, Ct in 1638. In 1659, at the age of 21 years,
Medad,
"with a robust constitution, thoroughly master of an excellent trade, and
with
few if any tools, came to Northampton, MA." The town was but five years
settled, inhabitants were scarce, and skilled workmen were welcome.
The town gave Mr. John Webb a parcel of land for his blacksmith tools and
sold
them on time to Medad. In August, 1660, the following vote was passed:
"John
Webb's tools, that Medad Pumry shall have on terms; a pair of Bellows, an
Anvil, a hand hammer, one ---hammer, 3 pair of Tongs, a Beak-iron, a
Slice, a
nailing stake, two chisels, one nailing hammer." Subsequent events show
that
Pomeroy made himself useful. On the 13th of December, 1664, "at a legal
town
meeting the town gave Medad Pumry the tools they had of John Webb, as
long as
he lives in town." Six years later it was voted to give him the tools
that he
had of the town's in his hand, by a clear town vote without any
condition."
Medad married Experience, daughter of Henry Woodward and eventually
settled on
a lot originally granted to Thomas Salmon, which comprised four acres on
the
northerly side of Main Street, being bounded easterly on Meeting House
Hill. In
1661 the town voted that "Medad Pumry shall have the land his shop stands
on,"
which was probably the Webb blacksmith shop located on unappropriated
land in
the street near the corner of Main and South Street. In 1668 Thomas
Salmon sold
the remaining three acres of his home lot to Caleb Pomeroy, brother of
Medad, and in 1670, Medad bought it of him. With this purchase Medad came
into
possession of five acres of land in the center of the town, contiguous to
the
Meeting House, and very favorably located for pursuing his business. The
south
line of this property extended from Elm Street along Main, eastwardly to
and
embracing the property of the late Judge Joseph Lyman. Research seems to
prove
that Medad Pomeroy's dwelling house and shop stood near the spot formerly
occupied by "Colonade Row," known also as the "Curtis Tavern," later a
vacant
lot near the Edwards Church.
He left to his son Ebenezer, "the Homestead" with all the houses, barns,
shops,
edifices,
mansions, and all pertaining to the water-courses." This water-course
means the
brook running between Pleasant Street and Hawley, then and for over a
hundred
years called Pomeroy brook, after the Pomeroys who did business upon it.
As on
the homestead of Elder John Strong, a prosperous race of tanners existed
through the first four generations, so adjacent on the south in the
Deacon
Medad line, and on that homestead, lived into the fourth generation a
prosperous race of mechanics.
See November 30, 1880: "Ancient Northampton Homestead Transmitted in the
family
line:" Hampshire Gazette.
Married at the age of twenty-three, 1661, Experience Woodward, daughter of
Henry who came from England with Rev. Richard Mather, one of the seven
pillars
of the church, killed by lighning at the upper (corn)mill, 1683. They
lived
together 25 years. At forty-eight, 1686, married for his second wife,
Abigail
Chauncey, widow of Rev. Nathaniel of Hatfield, and daughter of Elder John
Strong. Lived together about 18 years. Name of his third wife, Hannah,
widow of
Thomas Noble of Westfield. Whole number of his children twelve. Seven
survived him, three sons and four daughters. Add the five
children of Mrs. Chauncey at the time of their marriage, three of them
quite
young, the number amounts to seventeen. Two of these seventeen, both
ministers,
were among the earliest graduates of Yale college. One of them, Rev.
Nathaniel
Chauncey, died in the sixtieth year of his pastorate at Durham, CT,
ancestor of
a long line of descendants, among them a number of distinguished men.
Dea. Medad's homelot, at first one acre in extent, afterwards comprised
between five and six acres. The house erected by him, 1665, says Mr.
Trumbull,
"stood near the spot formerly occupied by Colonnade Row, known also as
Curtis'
Tavern, now a vacant lot near the Edwards Church." Not far from his
dwelling
stood his blacksmith's shop, somewhat celebrated for the names associated
with
and the amount of buiness there carried on. On this homestead, near the
center,
Dea. Medad lived 51 years, 1665-1716, serving the town in various
capacities,
selectman, town clerk, and treasurer, register of deeds, representative
for a
number of sessions to the colonial legislature, besides officiating 41
years as
deacon in the church. He survived nearly all the original settlers, and
saw
several hundred members admitted to the church, having been connected
with it
from its organization fifty-five years. Seven of his twelve children
survived
him, three of them were sons and four dauthers. Samuel, born 1687, a
minister,
was settled on Long Island. Thankful, born 1678, m. 1698 Lt. Benjamin
Lyman,
who lived on Pleasant Street, one of the ancestors of the late Theodore
and of
Henry, the martyr missionary. She attained a great age and died 1773, in
her
95th year. Two of thier twelve children were graduates. Another Medad,
having
his grandfather's name, kept a public house in New Haven. One of her
sons,
Elihu, a teacher and lawyer, was an officer in the French War. Daniel,
her
tenth child, was a judge in New Haven.
"The Pomeroy homestead is remarkable for the number born
upon it, in the line of Dea. Medad, having military titles, at least
seven, to
wit, Major Ebenezer, Lt. Daniel, Col Seth, Capt John, Major Daniel, Capt
Elisha; Daniel and Elisha being cousins of the fourth generation. And
last but
not least, having attained a greater age than any of the seven, viz: the
recently deceased and much respected Col. Thomas, in early life
characterized
for his kind accomodating manners, and for many years deacon of the
Florence
Church." (Nov 30, 1880) Hampshire Gazette.
Deacon Pomeroy was not only a skilled mechanic and a thorough business
man, but
a person of great enterprise, always endeavoring to build up and develop
the
town. He held various judicial offices and was often employed in the
settlement
of estates. In 1678 he was appoinged "Clerk of the Writs," for
Northampton, by
the Court of Sessions, and held the office till near the close of his
life. In
1684 he was commissioned by the same court in connection with William
Clark and
Captain Aaron Cook, to "end small causes." Several years after and for a
number
of years in successions, he served with William Clark and Samuel
Partridge, as
one of the Associate Justices for the County of Hampshire. Although he
was not
an inn-holder, it appears from the records that in 1684 he was granted
permission to sell liquor. In 1675 he was chosen Deacon of the Church,
Reverand
Solomon Stoddard, Pastor. He was first chosen Town Clerk in 1692, and
held that
position by annual re-election until 1713. During nearly the whole of
this
period he was also Town Treasurer, and was almost continously a member of
the
Board of Selectmen. He was Representative to the General Court for many
years.
In an Gazette article about the "Deacons in Early Times of the Northampton
Church,
"The third, chosen at the age of thirty-seven, Medad Pomeroy, son of
Eltweed,
ultimately became one of the first men in Northampton - a teacher, town
clerk,
many times on the board of selectmen, for years Representative to the
Legislature, a man of large wealth. He was one the few that had the
titles,
uncommon in those days, of Esquire. In addition to the public business on
his
hands, he was a blacksmith and farmer."
Deacon Pomeroy accumulated considerable real estate in different portions
of the town, and his son, Honorable Ebenezer, owned twelve acres in the
very
center of the village, adjoining the first acres bought of Thomas
Salomon,
having received all but three and a half acres from his father by deed.
Medad
had a great respect and love for his parents, and in 1672 brought his
aged
father from Windsor to Northampton, took him into his own family and
amply
provided for him during the rest of his life. He was a man of strong
religious
principle, one of the pillars of the church, and always ready to aid in
every
good work. His monument may still be seen in the old cemetary. Parents: Eltweed Pomeroy and Margery Rockett.
