Mr. O. K. Pouncey
Bolling, Ala.
My Dear Sir:
Your letter of the 12th inst. has been received and I take pleasure in replying to give you any information I can relation to the Pouncey family, but regret that this information is limited.
The first I know of the history is that our ancestors are of Irish, that three brothers were exiled from Ireland some 150 years ago and all of these settled on the Pee Dee river, S.C. and all the Pounceys (spelling their name "Pouncey") in the U. S. descended from those 3 brothers. I do not know their first names, but understand they were soldiers in the revolutionary war, as also was my grandfather Samuel Pouncey, he being a son of one of the same 3 brothers, but I do not know which one of these. After that war my grandfather (Samuel Pouncey) married and immigrated to Montgomery County, Ala and settled in 3 miles of the city of Montgomery. He had the following sons: John, who died in Butler Co. about the beginning of the civil war. John had A. W. Pouncey, Wm Pouncey, Frank Pouncey, Daniel Pouncey, Calvin and George Pouncey.
A. W. Pouncey came to Texas before the war of the rebellion and raised a large family. His oldest son, Frank Pouncey now lives at Rogers, Miland County Texas, with whom you can correspond for particulars as to his father's family. Next Samuel Pouncey who went to Miss, and I know nothing of his family.
Next Elder Wm J. Pouncy who raised a family in & near Montgomery & Troy, Ala. dying at the latter place about 26 years ago. He had 4 wifes; 6 children by his 4th wife. You can get his history of this family by addressing a daughter of Wm J to wit, Mrs. J. G. Long, Gatesville, Texas. Next son of Samuel Pouncey, was Peter Pouncey (my father), who died about the year 1840, leaving a wife and 5 children, oldest Mary Norman, died in Augt 1897, 2nd Rebecca Davis, now living at Naftel Ala. Mrs. P. A. Brady, Mt. Carmel, Ala, next myself,and Wm J. Pouncey who died in Louisiana at Farmville, La about 1850. I am the youngest of my father's family living, my age 64 years. I married Flora A. Surles in Lowndes Co. Ala, Dec ‘55. I resided in Ala. from my birth until Jan 1873 when I came to Texas. I served in the Confederate War - was badly wounded and am now totally blind - we have had four children all now dead, my last dying Mch 23, 1883 who left 3 sons whom I have raised to wit Robt E, Wm W, and Aubry N. Standard, two of them living in this county and one in Toyton Co. Texas.
Next son of Samuel Pouncy was Eli T. Pouncey who married and raised a family Talapoosa Co. Ala. He had 4 sons John, Tom, Billie and Samuel and 4 daughters, Mary, Martha, Nancy & Paralee. Eli T was killed by one of his negro men in Talapoosa County about 1854, leaving a second wife without children.
Jesse Pouncey of Dale Co. Ala, was a cousin of my father. He had a son named Frank whose address may be given you by the P.M. at Clayhatchee, Dale County Ala. I might now mention the daughters of my grandfather Samuel ____ Have named his sons. They were Mary Jones, Nancy Jones, both married Wm. H. Jones. Their descendants now in Montg. AL. Elizabeth Cleghorn, Butler Co. Al. You can get her history there ___ two old citizens of Greenville,Al. can give you information regarding history. Sarah Williams wife of Butler Williams lived and died in Tallapoosa county Al ----- Sarah moved to Texas and died.
You did not tell me the name of your father this is about all of the information I can ------- good to have a copy. If you ever get to Texas, come and see me --- --------------
Very truly yours etc
George W. Pouncey

Children of JOHN POUNCEY and POLLY HOLMES are:

	i.		FRANK⁵ POUNCEY.
	ii.		WILLIAM POUNCEY.
	iii.		ANTHONY WAYNE POUNCEY, b. Abt. 1812; d. Abt. 1895.

Notes for ANTHONY WAYNE POUNCEY:
Anthony Wayne Pouncey, b. 1812 Twiggs Co., Ga., was farming in Alabama when he up and left for Texas in 1844. Travis County records show he was in the Austin area in 1846, witnessing a deed and serving on a jury. His first wife, Martha Lane, died in 1847. He was missed in the 1850 census. In late 1851, he was in Gonzales County, marrying Mary A. Morrow, who had come there in 1850 from Tennessee. I have a copy of a family Bible page that shows the names and birthdates of all of the children born to A.W. and Mary (not including those from his first marriage), written down by Mary's mother Elizabeth. A.W. was the subject of a colorful bio written by one of his descendants in the Gonzales County history book, although some of the information therein is contradicted by reliable sources. A.W. lived until 1895. He spent most of his Texas years in Gonzales County but was in Live Oak County in the 1870 census. If you would like more details about him and his family, please send me an e-mail to tcpouncey@hotmail.com.

I am researching the Pouncey family. My ancestor, John Thomas Cleghorn, married Elizabeth Pouncey in 1811. They named a son Eli Thomas - I found a Eli T. Pouncey in Montgomery Co. @1790- just a hunch (judging by similar family names] that he is Elizabeths father. I hope some of you out there can help! I have lots of Cleghorn info to share but no Pouncey.

Child of ELIZABETH POUNCEY and JOHN CLEGHORN is:

ELIZABETH⁵ CLEGHORN, b. May 29, 1828; d. June 15, 1914, Crenshaw County, AL; m. JOHN WOODS COWART.
