General Notes: Husband - Thomas Pomeroy

---

He was a farmer, and lived on a large farm that he owned two miles east of Roxbury, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. In 1763 the Indians made a raid along the North Mountain, and his wife and two children were killed by them. He went that morning a short distance from the house to shoot a deer, and it was during his absence that the massacre occurred. A contemporary account says that Mrs. Pomeroy was scalped, one of her arms broken and her skull fractured by the blow of a tomahawk. The victims were buried on the eastern side of the "State Road," and over their graves the barn of John A. Rebuck was subsequently built. Mr. Pomeroy was a large, heavy man, which was a characteristic also of his descendants. It is a tradition that he was so fat that he was a burden to himself. His shirt collar was half a yard wide. His warrants for land were dated Dec. 17, 1767, 117 acres, 102 perches; and Oct. 14, 1775, 176 acres 22 perches.
