Philip I suspect that the name may also be a derivative name and could be Powns also or Pounder etc But I do know a Esther Powns was born 1982 Mary in 1785 William in 1789 Martin in 1791 Patrick Pownes in 1792 William Pounds in 1794 Martin 1794 John 1797 Martin 1799 Thomas 1802 and the name then lengthens to Mary Pownder 1806 Ellen Pounder 1832 Mary ann Pounder 1864 Any of these fit your naming pattern at all?
