Phebe Tryon was born on 10 Apr 1822 in Murray, New York. She married Brewster Harris Pomeroy on 8 Nov 1843 in Litchfield, Medina, Ohio. Children: Mariann (Marion Alcina), Erastus Valentine, David Harris, Alvina, Parkhurst Alvimer, Mary, Lee Wilson, Emma Helen Jane. She died on 18 Jul 1881 in Winona, Minnesota.
Further research is needed to identify Phebe Tryon's parents. They cannot be Leonard Tryon and Maria Stocking as they were never in Connecticut. Both Leonard Tryon Tryon-1126 and Amos Tryon Tryon-4776 (Cousins that married Stocking sisters) appear consistently in Connecticut records.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Phoebe by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.

A first cousin of Leonard Tryon's married a Hannah Stocking (who was probably Maria Stocking's sister:
Amos Tryon-4776
Hannah Stocking-673
