Does anyone have a book that gives the Rowan Co. deed transfers from 1851? My source doesn't go that far. I am wondering if the below entry is an error in transcription or if it really reads this way. 07 May 1851, Book 40, Page 217, E. D. Austin, administrator of the estate of Joseph Poole, deceased, to Mary VanPoole, 300 acres joining the lands of Nathan Boger, H. L. Roberts and Misenheimer. (I think this VanPoole name should probably be Pool) Does this entry really say Mary VanPool, widow of Joseph Poole? Betty Pace
