Dear Carole, My DAVID POOLE/POOL (1810-1867Rowan) was, according to family tradition, descended from old JACOB VAN POOL of Rowan Co, but we have never been able to confirm the names of the parents of David Poole/Pool. I wonder if you could look him up in your Poole book, mentioned in the posting to Rowan Roots. My ggrandfather (CLAYTON W. POOLE--1848-1908Salisbury) was the son of DAVID POOLE and ANGELINE BULLEN/BOLEN/BULLARD (various according to which census you look at). We cannot find a marriage for them, although there were at least four children (Isabel (b.1844); Clayton (b.1848); Abraham (b. 1851); and Mary L. (b.1853). I have wondered if David Poole was already married previously and simply cohabitated with Angeline Bullen over many years. Even the children's names in estate papers were listed as Bullen/Poole, showing some confusion as to their exact legal status. After David's death in 1867-8, she appears in census reports as ANGELINE POOLE, so perhaps they married in some way before his death. The names of Clayton W. Poole's children by Susan Poole (Julian)-- Walter W.; George; Roxanne Olivia, m. to Charles W. Mowery; and Mary Ann (my grandmother, m. to Charles W. Pace Sr.) The names of Abraham Poole's children by Laura Poole--Lina/Tina; and Mittie. This information came from the 1880 Rowan census. Do you know the names of the siblings of David Poole? You mentioned an Elizabeth, but she is not listed in the Pool book, you said. How does Otho Pool fit in all this? I do not have access to the book you refer to.
