From:"Harriett Pomeroy" June 30th 2003
Regarding the premise that Lt. Samuel Pomeroy of Pallice had a brother Richard.
Harriet is of the opinion that regarding the "aristocratic" families she is still thinks that we do not connect to them!! There was some suggestion that Samuel Pomeroy was connected to Arthur Pomeroy whose descendant became Lord Harberton.
DNA groups put us in the H1 Haplogroup as distinct from the present-day Harberton connection in H2.
Grove-White in Historical and Topographical Notes On North Cork families mentions Susanna wife of Thos. Campion and daughter of Samuel Pomeroy and Martha Smith.
Records of Holy Trinity Parish, Cork give Marriage 26 July 1646 Richard Pomery to Margaret Hawker.
Burial 16 June 1662 Margaret wife of Richard Pomery.
Diocese of Cork and Ross. Marriage Licence Bonds 1662 Richard Pomeroy and Joane Latchford (Widow)
Is this the same Richard in the 3 entries? In any case his children would have probably been born around 1650 and maybe a second family 1660's. Maybe one of them was grandfather of "our" Richard, Henry and Robert.
(As Chuck's "ole" Richard died around 1850 and both Henry (1) and Robert (1) died about 1810 the latter may have been of an older generation)
� unauthenticated 'scribblings' by Robin Pomeroy 's aunt (Mary Pomeroy-O'Brien) which state that Edward Pomeroy married Wilmot Peryman from Devon (no date); they had two sons,
Samuel who married Martha Smith from Pallice, Mallow
Richard who married Mary Hawks in 1646. Richard and Mary had three sons -
two Richards (one must have died) and
Henry who was born in 1745 and who 'acquired' Clara in 1787. Henry had three sons
Richard who married Mary Dunn in 1798,
John
Henry.�
Edward POMEROY
Born 1575 Beenleigh Manor Nr Harberton
baptised Brixham 19 Dec 1579?
buried14 Aug 1645 Stoke Gabriel
married Wilmot PERYMAN b: Abt 1580 married Drewsteighton Devon 1602
I found a William born on/bef 25 Sep 1606
.
This might be assumed to be son of Edward Pomeroy and Wilmot Periam born on/bef 25 Sep 1606 in Brixham Parish near Totnes, Devonshire, England.
On the other hand there is the possibility that he might be the William Pomeroy of Collaton in Newton Ferrers baptised 22 Oct 1606.)

Harriet wonders where Mary Pomeroy-O'Brien got her info. about Samuel and Richard? She believes that Mary and her grandfather James Pomeroy, Knockcahill were both interested in genealogy but we do not have any records, maybe any he had were discarded, though she is sure that her mother would have kept papers as she was also interested.�
Evidence for Henry and Robert at Clara. Mary Pomeroy- O'Brien did not see a number of entries in the Registry of Deeds in Dublin that clarify some of the names!
Ref: RD(Reg. of Deeds) 1788 391 510 262010 Memorial of Indented deed of Lease 21 June 1787 of Claramore .Ed. Eyre of Linville, Co. Tipperary/Henry Pomeroy of Millstreet ("and others" later in deed)
Ref: RD 1853 1853 20 261 Reg, 1 August 1853 Incumbered Estates Commission/ Henry Justice. Cites deed of 14 Feb. 1798 between Robert Hedges Eyre and Robert and Richard Pomeroy demising lease of Claramore to them. This deed also refers to a jointure for Mary Pomeroy widow of Robert Pomeroy deceased, created by an indenture dated 4 July, 1798 and made between Richard Pomeroy of the first part and the said Mary Pomeroy then Mary Dunne of the second part, Nicholas Dunne Gent. and Thomas Justice of the third part.
Ref: RD 1810 627 106 429778 Richard Pomeroy Gent. of Claramore, Co.Cork/ Samuel Austen Indented of rent charge on Claramore. Richard Pomeroy was entitled to Claramore three lives by virtue of lease of Richard Pomeroy and Robert, his father now deceased.
Ref: RD 1812 654 4 449095 13 April 1810 Indented Deed of Assignment. Shop, outoffices etc. John Pomeroy, shopkeeper, to Charles Williams citing that the House etc. had been "demised, granted and set" by John Wallis to Henry Pomeroy on 25 Feb.1797 and was now legally vested in John Pomeroy.
SO........ Apart from the need of a lawyer to interpret the historical legalese and an expert in reading the handwriting of 200 years ago there is a lot of information there!
Both Henry and Robert's families seemed to "lease for three lives" and then proceed to borrow from individuals who had spare cash using Clara or the shop as collateral and promise yearly payments of specified amounts. Harriet supposes that banks may not have been available in country areas. Anyway it seems to have been due to calling in of loans that caused the Govt. of the day to enact the Incumbered Estates laws after the Famine toallow sales of such properties.
CLARA: Robert ( 1), wife unknown, died before 1810. Son Richard married Mary Dunne, 1798
Sons of Rich. and Mary were Robert, Meredith, Thomas (Meredith had part of Clara known as The Ole Demesne and in a deed he is noted as Richard's son. Thomas erected a tombstone "in memory of his father Richard and mother Mary Dunne") HENRY: Was the Henry who leased Clara in 1787 the same man who leased the shop in 1797 and left it to John in 1810? I have always thought that it was but no proof.

The Vestry Records for St. Anna's Drishane Parish, (the Church of Ireland church in Millstreet) exists 1801 - early 1900's. Henry Pomeroy attends meetings up to 1810 and John Pomeroy appears until 1817. Was John son of Henry or perhaps a nephew, son of Robert 1? Who was Jane Pomeroy who married John Payne in Drishane CI 17 Dec 1803. Was she daughter of Henry or Robert?
