https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Towns_Annexed_by_Connecticut_in_1749 suggests he was born in Massachusetts since Somers didn't become part of Connecticut until 1749

Pomeroy-834 and Pomeroy-620 appear to represent the same person because: Pomeroy 834 is not connected to anyone. Joshua 620 is. They both have Feb 27 birthdays, one in 1727, 1737. Both are from Somers. Joshua 620 dates are in the Pomeroy tree. There is no one matching Pomeroy 834 in the Pomeroy tree. Somers is a small place. I suspect Pomeroy 834 is in error and should be merged away.
