The Blount brothers, George, Devotie and William, arrived in Pompano in the early years of the twentieth century.

They were the sons of Reverend George A. Blount, a Baptist minister from Savannah, Georgia, who preached for over fifty years in the rural country surrounding that historic city.

In addition to his three sons who settled in Pompano, Rev. Blount was the father of two other sons and three daughters.
