Mother was Mary (Wyllys) Pomeroy, b.Mar. 7, 1742 in Middletown, CT - d.Nov. 14, 1805 in Middletown, CT - daughter of George & Mary (Woodbridge) Wyllys.

May sources erroneously give the birth year as 1864. Albert Pomeroy's Genealogy of the Pomeroy Family (1912-1922) gives the date as 1865. The Rauner Special Collections Library at Dartmouth also gives Samuel Wyllys Pomeroy's dates as 1765-1841. It is very unlikely that SWP was conceived before his parents were married.
