Well, that was a very nice post on my query. I have a lot of this genealogy and one time even purchased some Quarterlies on the JANNEYS to see if I could find out more on the POOLES. I discounted them as ours, but when DNA was done on my husband, that took me back to Bucks Co, PA to the GRAYDONS (variant spellings) there. We are DNA matched with a marriage between a James POOL line whose son, Gabriel, m. an Elizabeth GRADON of Laurens District, SC. The very first record in my deed book for Bucks County, PA showing a James POOLE and Lawrence GROWDON (sic). Question: I wonder if this James POOLE was a member of the POOLE/JANNEY families...? I won't take more space now here now, but I sure appreciate your information. Thanks Judy, for allowing posts when I'm not sure, other than O'NEALLS, whether our POOLS connect with Quakers...but, getting closer to this idea.
