I am also searching for a POOLE family. My gggmother was Mary POOLE, b 15 Oct 1856 in TX; her father was either an Amos POOLE or a Gibson POOLE - or maybe someone else. Mary POOLE married Patrick SMITH, 8 Jul 1874 in San Augustine, TX. She died 13 Apr 1898 in San Aug and is buried there. Her father was allegedly killed in the Civil War - no documentation at this time for that. Different POOLE's show up in the San Aug court records, but Amos is found only in the 1860 census even though he was in San Aug in 1837. Would appreciate a response from you if you have information on any POOLE's in the San Augustine Co. area circa 1855-1860. Good luck on your research... J Pat Smith jpatcats@aol
