Medad had land granted him at Massaca (Simsbury).115 For many years hew was town clerk; deacon; and rep. 1677, 83, 84, 86, 90, and 92.25

From the Pomeroy Family:117
    Deacon Medad Pomery, when he arrived at Northampton in 1659, he was welcomed by the authorities on account of his skill, knowledge of which had preceded him, and was granted a chest of tools and some land. He was twenty-one years of age, with a robust constitution, master of an excellent trade, that of general smithing, acquired from his father, but with few tools. The town was but five years settled, inhabitants were scarce, and every accession to the number, especially a skilled gun-smith, was heartily welcomed, although he was not, we have reason to believe, the first blacksmith who came to Northampton. John Webb preceded him, bringing a full complement of tools. It may be reasonably conjectured that Medad Pomeroy went to work for Webb, and soon proved by his skill, ability and industry that he was a desirable inhabitant, and a man worthv of encouragement. In August, 1660, the following resolve was passed: “John Webb’s tools that Medad Pomeroy shall have on terms: A pair of bellows, an anvil, a hand hammer, one hammer, three pairs of tongs, a beak iron, a slice, a nailing stake, two chisels, one nailing hammer.'” The terms on which the tools were granted are not stated. * * * “On the 13th Dec. 1664. at a legal town meeting the town gave Medad Pomeroy the tools they had of John Webb, as long as he lives in the town, but if he removes out of the town he is then to leave them to the town; but in case he dies in the town the tools are to belong to i\is estate, provided he do the town work.” In 1670 it was voted to give him the “Smith's tools that he had of the town in his hand by a clear vote without any condition.”
    In 1675, Medad Pomeroy was chosen Selectman, to which position he was re-elected twenty-seven times. He was first chosen Deputy in 1677, and was six times re-elected to that important position, his last service being in 1692. He was chosen County Treasurer in 1698, and was a number of times re-elected to that office, until the vear of his death. It appears that in some years he held not less than six important town offices at the same time. He not only held various judicial offices, but was employed in the settlement of estates, and his record as a public officer was both honorable and enterprising.
    It has been intimated that he was a lawyer. This may be correct, though it is hardly probable that he had studied law. and there is no evidence that he ever practiced at the bar. But there is evidence that he had a keen, judicial mind, and that he comprehended intuitively the salient points of any cause which came before him in his manifold duties. As we have said, he held various judicial offices, and was frequently employed in the settlement of estates. In 1678 he was appointed Clerk of the Writs (Register of Deeds) for Northampton by the Court of Sessions, and held that office till near the close of his life. In 1684 he was commissioned by the same court ‘to tend small causes.’ Several years after, and for a number of years in succession, he served as one of the Associate Justices for the County of Hampshire.
    Medad Pomeroy's home-lot, granted by the town, was situated in the vicinity of Bridge Street Cemetery, but it is doubtful whether he ever occupied this lot. He bought an acre on Meeting-House Hill, where he resided till his death, Dec. 30, 1716. His homestead, which eventually consisted of twelve acres in the heart of the settlement, is remarkable for the number born upon it in the line of Deacon Medad having military service and titles, at least nine, namely: Hon. Ebenezcr, Major of Infantry; Captain John Pomeroy, Ensign Josiah Pomeroy. Captain Joseph Pomeroy. General Scth Pomeroy, Lieut. Daniel Pomoroy (killed at Lake George), Major Daniel Pomeroy (his son). Captain Elisha Pomeroy, and Colonel Thomas Pomeroy. He also took an honorable part in the engagement at Turner’s Falls, May 19, 1676.
    ...
    “He was Deputy to the General Court many years, having been chosen in 1677, re-elected in 1683, 1684, 1685, 1686, 1690,and 1692.”— Sylvester Judd.
    In 1686 he accumulated considerable real estate in different parts of
the town, and his son, Ebenezer Pomeroy, owned twelve acres in the very center of the village, adjoining the first acre bought of Thomas Salmon, having received all but three and a half acres from his father by deed. ...
    ... in 1672 [he] 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 indued with strong religious principles, was chosen deacon of the church in 1675, and became one of its strongest supporters. ...
