Hi Audrey, There were two Gilbert men from my line that are known to have settled in Newbery...Jonathan and Caleb. Neither had daughters would have been born in the right timeframe to have been John Pool's wife unless he married excessively younger. They also had no daughters named Mary. There is one remote possibility, though. Jonathan and Caleb had a brother William who moved the Carolinas and died there along with his wife. This information is found in his wife's father's and brother's estate information in Bucks Co. William and his wife presumably had a daughter named either Lydia or Mary depending on which account you choose to believe. If the girl was still young when her parents died, it's certainly reasonable to think she may have landed in Newberry with her uncles. File #1103 Nov. 7, 1796 Samuel Fenton, Buckingham Twp. Died last June. Owned 150 acres. Left four sons: Randle, Ephraim, Patrick and Thomas and daughter Mary, deceased, wife of William Gilbert, deceased (left one daughter whose name is not certainly known but believed to by Lydia, supposed to be living in some part of North Carolina or South Carolina) and daughters Hannah, Martha and Elizabeth. File #3907 Dec. 14, 1829 Thomas Fenton, Buckingham Twp. No issue but brother and sisters: Ephraim (deceased, eight children: Samuel, Eleazer, James, William, Randall, Charles, Ephraim and Thomas), Patrick, Martha, Hannah, Mary Gilbert (moved to North Carolina, she and husband both reported deceased leaving one child Mary).
