Anyway, I am currently researching my POOLE ancestors who were primarily found in Cheatham, Davidson & Sumner Cos with the exception of a GrandAunt Lorene "Reenie" POOLE b. 3-17-1913 in Cheatham Co. d. 8-1981 in Piketon, Pike Co., OH whose first marriage was to an individual who owned businesses in Columbia, Maury Co., TN. His surname is unknown but they had three children born in Maury Co: Richard "Dicky" and twins, Danny & Dee. How does this relate to BINKLEY? Lorene had an older sister; Ethel Mae POOLE ABERNATHY b. 1909 d. ? in Nashville, Davidson Co., TN whose husband; Clifford ABERNATHY had a sister who had a daughter Barbara, whose married (I believe) name is BINKLEY. Confused? Sorry. I know that this is major straw grasping here but I wonder if the two BINKLEY lines are related and if so, I am hoping that you will be able to help me find out the surname of my mother's cousins Dicky, Danny & Dee. Mom would greatly love to be able to contact them after only recently learning of their mother's death (through my online research) as well as that of their Aunt Ethel POOLE ABERNATHY. I would greatly appreciate any assistance or leads offered and really would like to compliment you on the job you are doing for Maury Co and those researching there. I can imagine what a demanding position it can be at times and appreciate your volunteerism. Thanks again, Stella BULL4FISH2@aol.com
