6932. Joseph Pomeroy. Born ca Jun 1652 in Windsor, CT. Joseph was baptized in Windsor, CT, on 20 Jun 1652.144 Joseph died on 22 Sep 1734 in Colchester, CT.

Joseph, of Westfield, was freeman 1680, and removed to Colchester, CT.2

Joseph was “one of the early settlers of Northampton, and is credited to that town as a soldier in King William’s war, having served at intervals between 1688 and 1698. It is said that he lived in Westfield, MA, and Lebanon, CT, and in 1703 removed to Colchester, CT, and about 1715 he removed to Boston, locating near Corn-hill.94

“Joseph removed to Colchester very early in the settlement of that town, and was one of the original proprietors. He had a division or a home lot, as it is sometimes spoken of, in the first allotment in 1701, on the hill ‘Chemantups’ (a hill in the north part of the town, so called by the Indians from its resemblance in shape to a human skull), and probably lived there.

In 1703 he was appointed, together with Ebenezer Coleman, a committee to eject at their sole expense, certain trespassers ‘by force if necessary,’ who were taking up land in a place called Pangwonk, (south and west of Gardner’s Lake), under the authority of one Major Palmer, who claimed to have derived a title to certain lands there from an Indian, one Captain Sanape. There were finally successful in doing this, and for their services the proprietors granted them each one hundred acres of the land in dispute. Joseph Pomeroy was a man of prominence in town affairs. We find him an officer during the whole time covered by his residence here. In 1703 he was appointed to run the town lines between this and other towns. In 1708 he was chosen constable, collector and lister. We find his name among a list of fifty-two who were proprietors of the town in 1713; also, in this year we find that he sold two farms in Colchester; and also, the following entry in the records: ‘Dec. 14, 1713. To ball all town ’Counts, £00 13 3.’

“Probably this was in settlement of his accounts with the town as a Collector, etc., which closes his connection with the town of Colchester, as far a we can ascertain, as his name after that disappears from the recorsd.”94

On 20 Jun 1677 Joseph married Hannah Lyman (13204) , daughter of Richard Lyman (6192) (ca 1618-3 Jun 1662) & Hepzibah Ford (4443) (ca 1625-11 Apr 1683), in Westfield?5 Born on 20 Jul 1660 in Windsor, CT.94 Hannah died in Colchester, CT, on 11 Oct 1736; she was 76.94
