Hi Nora, curious if we could connect somehow? It would be so exciting to find someone else researching this specific Poole surname. Here is descendant chart for my gg-grandparents. Who did you descend from? I currently live in TX but was born & raised in Humphrey, Jefferson Co. AR. My mother, g-mother & as you can see my gg-grand parents [Gus & Sallie Laura] were from Ashley Co. If you or anyone else have access to cemetery records, I would love to know when David, Salust, and Sidney died and where they are buried. I also am searching for where my g-mother Mattie Dell WOODS {Woods also from Ashley Co] Poole is buried and the ancestors of Gus and Sallie. Eagerly waiting to hear, and hopeful we are kin.
