My Clarks lived nearby in what is now Alna. Have you seen The Documentary History of the State of Maine, V. 13 - a 1766 census for P. & in The Maine Siene (Me Hist Soc pub) w/a list of men in 1771(1777?)? Pomeroys & Pierces are on these lists. It looks like they were in Wiscasset area. The town of Pownalborough wasn't recated until 1760 so York Co. records might also be of help. Since Pomeroys ended up in St. Andrews, they might have been part of the congregation of Rev. Jacob Bailey (in the Dresden area). Carlows of Dresden & of his church ended up in St. Andrews. There were two ships called the Spring fleet and the Fall fleet, denoting when they went there that might help. Your Pomeroys are there early. My Clarks were there in 1733, at Newcastle first. Where do you live? I used to teach this and have done a good bit of research in area. Perhaps I can hel! p. Jan
