Thanks, Audrey! I always appreciate your input! God bless, Dolores -----Original Message----- From: Audrey E. Pool [mailto:ddpool@madnet.net] Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 1:28 AM To: SC-Genealogy-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SC] POOLE, Rebecca, dau of James POOL Dolores, Whoever said James was the s/o John POOL & Mahulda was certainly in error. John POOL and James are contemporaries. John was b. 1755-60, making him very near the same age as James. I see your James in notes/deeds or wills of Southside VA and suspect we are missing a link that would give us the parents. It is my guess that John, James and a Henry POOL of Edgefield, SC may be brothers, but someone took Henry POOL (spelled that way) and connected him to the PETTYPOOL family. The same thing has happened with our John POOL, connected to the PETTYPOOL family, but records do not support this. I think your James POOL lived on Reedy Creek in one of the Southside counties of VA. The fact that there is a Gabriel POOL in your line, as well as ours, indicates a possible connection between the two families, but not father/son...probable brothers.

Court of Common Pleas Court of Equity Court of General Sessions My question to the list ... is there another facility holding these microfilm from which I may borrow the film on Interlibrary Loan?

Hi Audrey! In one of your postings, I noticed that you said that a genealogy of the Bolling family was listed. Could you look up a Bolling/Bowling for me? My ggg-grandmother, was Darcus Levisa Bolling. She married James W. Fisher, JR in 1816 in Spartanburg Co, SC. She was born 1798 possibly in Burke Co, NC. Darcus died in 1880 at Lake Toxaway, Transylvania Co, NC. I cannot find her parents. I have found one sibling, I think he was her brother, anyway. He moved up to NC when James and Darcus did. His name was Dudley A. Bolling. There seems to be two Dudley Bolling's around at the same time, different locales. Thanks!! Patricia A.

Rebecca POOL, 1783-1847, poss. b. in VA, lived in Laurens Dist., SC, and married William TRAYNHAM. She was the dau of James POOL and Ursula [some say Elizabeth]HUDSON. James POOL's will names her as his daughter, calling her Rebecca TRAINUM. James POOL's does not appear to be the son of John POOL and Mahulda HOLLOWAY which was info I received at one time.

Hi, Kit; Do you have any dates or other information on the family of Hoyt/Hoyle FOWLER? I have an unknown FOWLER m. Fetney SNIPES probably in Wake co., NC, in abt 1859. They had two children, William FOWLER, b. 1860 and Leonard FOWLER, b. 1868. Most of Fetney's family (parents and siblings) moved to Anderson, SC, so she and her husband may also. If any of this looks familiar, we may be able to pin them down in the census.

I would love to compare notes with you. I am desc. fr. John MAHAFFEY, called "Flint John" who md. Leah FOWLER, dau of Archibald FOWLER. This is supposedly where your Archibald MAHAFFEY got his name, from his maternal grandfather. Archibald FOWLER md. Edith WEST, and I am desc. fr. John and Leah's daughter Edith/Eda MAHAFFEY who md. William GREER. Edith and Wm. GREER were my GG-G'parents. I have some notes on the ancestors of John MAHAFFEY and would love to see what you think. I'm not always sure that the material I have is correct. Would appreciate hearing from you and will gladly share what I have on the FOWLER and WEST lines with you!

Re: William and Daniel Boland I am curious about the book being spoken of. Is there anything in it about DANIEL BOLAND or MARTHA STAFFORD, both born 1816 in S.C.? Would certainly love to find the county in S.C. which they came from. I am a descendant of their son WILLIAM BOLAND b 1848 in GA. There has been recent discussion on this site re WILLIAM BOLLING. Could there be a connection? This name has had different spellings in the census records. Thanks for any help. It is most appreciated in the kindest of ways!! Rose Mary
