Lou Poole, where did your Poole line originate? My g.grandmother was a Poole from Amite Co., MS. I am kin to the Bridges in Columbia County, AR. -----Original Message----- From: arcolumb-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:arcolumb-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Lou Poole Sent: Monday, February 04, 2013 4:22 PM To: arcolumb@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ARCOLUMB] John W. Curry (m. Jane C. Frazier) I took your advice and went to familysearch. I only got two "hits" on the particular John W. Curry of my interest: the 1880 census listing and his marriage to Jane Frazier - both of which I already had. I agree that some of those other Currys listed in the area may be descendants of John W. Curry, but I have no way to contact them, and, anyway, I am hesitant to contact someone unless they indicate a willingness to be contacted. What really baffles me is that Jane C. (Frazier) Curry has a very prominent grave marker in the Magnolia City Cemetery, but apparently there is no marker for John W. Curry (and who I know died after 1880). Thanks for your interest and reply.

One of John Curry's sons married a first cousin to me, she was a Dodson daughter of Martin Dodson son of Joseph P and Jane Adeline Sutton Dodson. I think she is still alive and living in a nursing home in Magnolia ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ARCOLUMB-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Well, then, we might be distant - VERY distant - cousins :) My direct line came to Texas from Breckinridge County, KY (where they migrated in the very early 1800s). Before that, they were in the area of Granville and Person counties, NC, and Halifax Co., VA. I can trace them back to original immigrant who arrived in VA as an indentured servant ca. 1658. But I know that other branches of the same family migrated from the Southside VA area down to GA and then across to MS and LA. Your Amite Co., MS Poole family may be from that bunch. My family started out as Pettypool, then about the time of the Revolution abbreviated the name to P'Pool, P.Pool, etc., and finally, about the time of the Civil War abbreviated the name further to just plain ole Poole and Pool. People with all those name variations can still be found in all parts of the US, all descended from the same immigrant ancestor. But there were also "legitimate" Pools and Pooles - unrelated - who were in the Colonies at the same time. Feel free to write to me directly at txgeezer@sbcglobal.net if you want to explore this further - though I admit that I know little about the lines that went south (vs. west) from Southside VA.
