Betty, George Baumbach has an excellent history of the Pettypool/P'Pool/Pool family on his website at http://www.mindspring.com/~baumbach/ppoole/index.html You may want to check it out for leads on your John and David Pool of Rowan, to see if you can determine a connection to the larger British Pettypool group that settled in Virginia and the Carolinas. Good luck. Sandra Kidd descendant of John Pettypool/Pool of Rutherford Co, NC, father to Elizabeth Pool who married John Jones of latter-day Cleveland Co, NC. > > Subject: > JOHN & DAVID L.
