The below 1850 census for Montgomery Co NC shows, I believe, my DAVID POOL, age 40, and family. Closeby are other Pools that I believe are related in some sense. The first names of "Martin" and "Hartwell" are names repeated in later generations of this Pool family in Salisbury NC (Rowan). DAVID POOL will later move (by 1860) to Rowan Co. NC where he raised another family with ANGELINE BULLEN/BULLAN/BULLARD--they may or may not have been married as I can find no record of the wedding. Angeline did inherit his Rowan property at his death in 1867. Their children were: Isabel, Clayton, Abraham, Mary L. Angeline did use the surname Pool in the 1880 census. This DAVID POOL was the father of my ggrandfather, CLAYTON W. POOLE (1848-1908), married to SUSAN ISABELLA JULIAN (1854-1908)--Their children were Walter W. (b.1873)., George Grayson(b.1870), Hartwell/Harton (b.1883), Roxanne Olivia, and Mary Ann (b.1879, m. to CHARLES W. PACE SR of Salisbury.) Family tradition says that these Pools were descended from JACOB VAN POOL, the Dutchman, of old Rowan around 1759. However, I have been unable to establish a line of links to Jacob as I do not know the parents of DAVID POOL. I would love to contact any descendants of the below family from the 1850 Montomery Co NC census.
