I see this web site which seems to be derived from the Miles book. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~paxson/griffith/Janney.html It seems as if it might be in conflict with the info that Jane Gilbert and I have about our Janney connection, but I cannot access my notes right now.

Judy, You have a JANNEY connection...? I am most interested. One of the members of the POOLE/JANNEY family of Bucks Co, PA, Benjamin POOL{E}(went to Loudon Co, VA MM), had a dau, Elizabeth POOL{E, who m. an Asa HOLLOWAY. This Asa was definitely a Quaker from a NJ to VA HOLLOWAY family. It is my belief that our Mahulda HOLLOWAY who m. John POOL (RS) may have a brother, Asa HOLLOWAY, but for sure one of the sons of Wm HOLLOWAY, d. 1784 Brunswick Co, VA. The fact that you too make a connection to the same HOLLOWAYS we do in SC may have some interest to me. I realize that all these families may not make a direct connection, but how far away from VA is PA? "Across the river and down the road!" So to speak. A lot of PAXSONS & GRIFFITHS in my Deed Book of Bucks Co, PA. Audrey ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judith F.
