Trickey and Pumery (Pomeroy?) Families, Broad Clyst, Devon, early 1700s
What a wonderful web site! I am searching for information on my seventh great grandparents, William Tricky (son of William) and his second wife Angis Pumery (Pomeroy?), who were married at the village of Broad Clyst, Devon, in 1725. They had three children: Christopher (c.1729), Giles (1731-1802) and Elizabeth (c.1736). Giles had evidently come to America by 1764. His wife Agnes was mentioned as the step daughter of David Pinkerton in his 1764 Orange Co., NC will. The area where they lived became Caswell Co. in 1777 and Person Co. in 1792. Giles made his will in Person Co. in 1795, and died there in 1802. He mentioned four children: William, John, Annis and Elizabeth. Annis (1767-1844) married Hezekiah DeWeese (1760-1839) in 1784, and Elizabeth married Hezekiah's younger brother Jonathan DeWeese, Jr. (1767-1849) in 1788. I am descended from Annis & Hezekiah's first born son, Jonathan DeWeese (1785-1841). I would be most grateful to anyone who could provide me with information on the Trickey and Pumery (Pomeroy?) families and the village of Broad Clyst.
