Did find that in 1880 and 1900 he lived in Rowan County. Also found this bit of info in the Statesville Landmark Paper on Oct 26, 1893. The train on the Yadkin Railroad between Salisbury and Albemarle jumped the track Monday. Richard Sparnell, a brakeman, was slightly injured and Mr A Hodge a passinger, seriously injured. Do not know if it was Richard Sr or Jr.

Quite possibly, the bride may have been previously married. Since Richard is found in both the 1860 & 1870 Davidson Co censuses (apparently single in 1860, & w/ wife and children by 1870), I suspect the marriage may have taken place in the same county. Thanks very much for any help.

I have tried to research JOHN POOL (d.1832--wife Elizabeth), but there were two John Pools in Rowan Co. in this time frame. One was descended from the Dutch Van Pools and apparently the other was an English Pool/Poole. There was a family story that we were Dutch and originally Van Pools, but this might just be a story. One Van Pool researcher told me that the property of my John Pool was not located in the same area as the other Van Pools, but I don't know if this is accurate or relevant. In addition, that Van Pool researcher said that my John Pool was too wealthy (owned slaves--I have a document on this) and therefore could not be a Van Pool. John Pool turned up in Rowan Co., NC about 1810. He bought valuable property, so he was not from a poor family. Where did the money come from? I suspect he moved from another NC county before coming to Rowan Co. NC. Blow aare his descendants. DAVID L(awton?). POOL(B.1810-13) was a silversmith in Salisbury, Rowan Co., NC after the death of his father JOHN POOL(wife ELIZABETH, d.1839) in 1832. David was the executor of his father's will. Later David L. Pool sold his share of the Rowan Co. plantation/property to his brother Joseph. Other children of John and Elizabeth Pool (besides David L.) named in the will were: 1)ELIZABETH POOL (b.6/1807-d.1834) m.PETER M. BROWN (m.1828) John Lewis Brown m. Nannie Jane Kerr Margaret C. Brown m. ___ Billiard Mary Brown - (died young - no information) 2)JOSEPH POOL(abt.1815-1849) m. Mary Jane HARDIE (father John HARDIE), 1 Sep.1840 Children of Joseph from 1850 census: John H.

After 1850, the widow & children have moved to Catawba Co NC 3)MARY POOL - (same as Mariah?) 4)MARIAH POOL - m. Tobias LEMLY July 30, 1840 5)ELIZA POOL - m.

POOLE m. Fred MENIUS (m. 1873) 5)Sarah POOLE m. Andrew HORTON (Providence, RI & Rowan Co.NC) 6)Isabel POOLE (these last two may really be the same) DAVID L. POOL is the father of my ggrandfather CLAYTON W. POOLE (1848-1908) of Salisbury, Rowan Co., NC. Clayton's mother was ANGELINE BULLEN/BOLIN/BULLARD of Rowan Co., NC; in the 1850 Rowan Census she was living with a BULLAND family and the census taker gave both ANGELINE and CLAYTON the surname of the host family (CATHERINE BULLAND), but this may be her mother CATY BULLEN. I originally couldn't find David L. Pool in the 1850 Rowan census. The Vincent papers gave this reference for David L. Pool on the 1850 Rowan census, on p. 138, 420.430, and a kind lady did a lookup for me. I don't know what the addition by the Asst.Marshall means.. Mary J. POOL is probably the widow of JOSEPH POOL who died Jan 9, 1849 (he married MARY J. HARDIE in Rowan Co., NC. Sept. 1, 1840; her parents were John H. and Mary HARDIE, prominent in Rowan Co.NC). 1850 Rowan NC CENSUS - DAVID L. POOL Living in the house with James Dougherty, 51 - b.

Greetings to all of my BRITNELL cousins in North Carolina. I am conducting a census for BRITNELL hopefully to be complete by March of 2005. During my research in the past fifteen years I have discovered that there are about 4000 of us using the name w/w. This name appears to be going into decline. To avert the total loss of the name, somewhere down the line of time, I am hoping that we can come up with a solution to avoid this. We need your participation. The BRITNELL name has an interesting history and it would be a terrible shame to lose it. I don't much like being an endangered species. For those BRITNELLs who did not receive a census package in the mail please email me here-->mary.anne@shaw.ca OR: write to me at 35 Deerpoint Road, SE, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2J 6R3 I hope to have the census complete by March of 2005.

Only DNA from the Y-chromosome will be tested and as such, only males who are directly descended (or believed to be descended) from the HERRING family name should apply. This also includes spelling variants of the surname such as Herren, Hearing, Harring, Herrin, etc. If you are a female researcher, you can participate indirectly if you have a brother, father, paternal uncle, or male cousin with the HERRING or variant surname who is willing to submit a DNA sample. Others may participate by sharing the cost of the HERRING surname DNA testing. Because we are acting as a Surname Project, we qualify for discounted testing rates.
