Hi Rick, I am decended from Ervin PettyPool as well. Maybe we can share information. I have been looking for someone that is in this line for some time. I want to get as much information as I can as soon as I can. I have an uncle M.L. Poole who is 90 years old and I want to show him all this information as he has the same interest in the family as I do. Thanks for any help you can give me. I look forward to hearing from you soon. L
