Hello Janean, Thank you for responding to my research post. I have just returned from 3 weeks in Chicago, and while I was gone my e-mail filled up. I may have been automaticly droped by the White and Gallatin Co, Illinois groups, but not sure, at any rate, I am back in business now. My direct line ancestor is Priscilla POOL, wife of Thomas Milligan VINEYARD, and daughter of William and Nancy (BOULES) POOL, and sister of your Thomas Pool. I didn't have the spouses of Sarah and Mary Pool. I picked them up from your note below. All of my data is on line. My Web Sites are http://davepeg.home.attbi.com/ and http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~davidca/ Here is a direct link to the Pool data. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~davidca/pool.htm Best of luck, Dave, Acampo, CA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janean Ray" <JRay38@neo.rr.com> To: <ILWHITE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 10:05 AM Subject: Re: [ILWHITE] Pool > I have several POOL's associated with my MARLIN family of White Co. > Thomas B.
