Hi Audrey! I am working on the Coachman's and Poole's of Georgetown/Berkely District. Hannah Poole Coachman is the ggggg-grandmother of my son on his paternal line. I had no brothers or sisters for her as I have not worked on it in a long time. I think I was just trying to do the direct line. I have a Capt. James Coachman (1732-abt 1789) married to Hannah Poole (d. abt 1772), but with no son named William. James' father was named John and he had a son named William. Hannah Poole's mother was Hannah De-Marboeuf. She may have remarried to a Newman after the death of William Poole. I have some info on the Coachman line down to my son if you want it-some with the siblings, etc. in it. This particular line left SC, migrated to GA and then down to around Clearwater, Pinellas Co, FL. William Alston may have been a grandfather or some kind of kin of Charlotte A. Alston (b. 31 May1788, Georgetown District, SC.) She married Hannah Poole and James Coachman's son, John Coachman in 1828. He was an old man by that time and she was his 5th wife-they had no children. "Sacred to the memory of Charlotte A. Coachman/ widow of John Coachman/ 2nd daughter of Benjamin and Charlotte A. Allston/ who died June 18th 1842/ aged 54 years and 18 days" - Inscriptions from the Allston Burying Ground at Turkey Hill Plantation near Waccamaw, published in SCH&GM, Vol. 10, p. 180. Let me know if you want any of the info on this line. I don't have much on the Poole's, so the earlier posting you made helped out alot. I only had 2 Alston's, Charlotte and a Mary Alston who married into the Coachman family around 1838 or so. Take care and thanks for the info!! Patricia A.
