- Descendants of William Poole.

William "The Joyner"
POOLE, Sr. was born about 1703 in Prince George
County, Virginia. He signed a Will about 1772 in
Mecklenburg County, Virginia. William's Will,
dated 1772, was recorded 10 November 1777 in
Mecklenburg County (Will Book I, page 241). He
died before November 1777 in Mecklenburg County,
Virginia. Lewis Parham, Reuben Morgan, and James
Taylor recorded the inventory and appraisal of
the estate of William Poole on 8 March 8 1779.
The value of the estate was listed as 338 pounds,
15 shillings, and 6 pence (Will Book I, page
289). William was both a carpenter and a
'joyner'. Early, there was a difference between
the two. Carpenters generally did the rough
construction of a building: the framing,
flooring, and roofing. The 'joyners' made the
window sashes, paneling or wainscoting, the
window and door moldings, and finished the
stairs. The Pool(e) and the Pettipool(e) families
both lived in the same vicinity. By 1811, it
appears that there were only members of the
Pettipool(e)'s remaining, the Pool(e) families
had all migrated elsewhere.

Note 2: The following is taken from
the GEDCOM of Jan Reese Shelfer:

"William Poole of Brunswick
County, Virginia, a cabinet-maker by trade, was
paid by St. Andrew's Parish vestry for making
window shutters and a door for the church in
1732, and the next year, he started building the
first County Clerk's office in Brunswick County
which was finished in January 1734.
"Elizabeth (Tarpley) Poole died in
Mecklenburg County, Virginia in 1737, the same
year that William Poole sold 400 acres on the
south side of the Nottoway River to George Mabry.
William had earlier that year bought 100 acres at
the mouth of a branch of Flatt Creek from John
Watson. Lewis Parham witnessed that transaction.
"In 1738, William married Elizabeth Watson,
daughter of John Watson from whom William bought
an additional 160 acres on Flatt Creek. Flatt
Creek was in the southern part of Virginia near
the North Carolina border.
"In 1741, William served a Coronett of
Dragoons under Captain Charles Parrish in
Lunenburg County (formerly Brunswick County),
Virginia, and his name appears on the tac lists
there through 1751.
"In 1750, William was granted 330 acres on
Flatt Creek, adjoining the property of Richard
Evans along Wolf Pit Run. Land grants could be
obtained from the King of England through the
colonial governors. That same year William was
commissioned a Captain of the militia by the
governor.
"William Poole deeded 100 acres to his son,
Robert, on the south side of Flatt Creek in 1752
as witnessed by son, William and Ephraim Mabry. A
month later, in June, William Poole sold 87 acres
on the north side of Flatt Creek to William Bell.
That fall, William Poole sold 178 acres on the
'upper' side of Flatt Creek to John McLain. Then
in 1755, Captain William Poole and Samuel Manning
were ordered to verify the property boundaries in
the county.
"On July 4, 1756, William Poole deeded 100
acres to Ephraim Mabry. The next May, he gave 100
acres to John Watson, Jr. 'for love and
affection.' Acts of this nature usually occured
when a child married or became 21 years old. John
Watson, Jr. was probably the husband of William's
daughter, Elizabeth, (as well as his
brother-in-law).
"William Poole was involved in many land
transactions in 1758. In June, he was granted 400
acres on the 'lower' side of Flatt Creek. The
next month he deeded 100 of those acres to
Ephraim Mabry. In November, he deeded 200 acres
each to sons, Adam and William for 'love and good
will.'
"During 1760, William Poole's boundaries
were checked (with son, Adam, present) in the
processioning returns of Cumberland Parish,
Lunenburg County, Virginia. Two years later he
sold 80 acres on both side of Wolf Pitt Run. The
part of Lunenburg County where the Poole family
lived became Mecklenburg County in 1764.
"In November 1767, William Poole sold 150
acres on the north side of Flatt Creek near Mill
Branch, and John Watson, Jr. bought 30 acres from
William adjoining Watson's existing land the
following year.
"In 1772, William Poole signed his will. In
it he distributes his property to wife,
Elizabeth, sons Walter, William, and Adam, and
daughters, Mary Mabry, Elizabeth Watson, and Jane
Cleaton. William Poole died five years
later." [Gayle Erickson] |
Note 2: The following is taken from
Henry T. Poole III, Genealogy
- Descendants of William Poole.
Not all researchers of this line believe that William
"The Joyner" POOLE married twice. Some of the
researchers believe that the second marriage shown here
to Elizabeth Watson is incorrect. They believe that
Elizabeth Watson married William "The Joyner's"
son, William. See Audrey Pool's abbreviated descendant
report, given below:
| |
FIRST GENERATION 1.
William "The Joyner" POOLE was born
about 1703 in Virginia.
William POOLE and Elizabeth TARPLEY had the
following children:
+2 i. William POOLE.
SECOND GENERATION
2. William POOLE was born about 1730.
William POOLE and Elizabeth WATSON had the
following children:
+3 i. John POOL RS.
THIRD GENERATION
3. John POOL was born about 1758 in South
Carolina. He died on 1 Oct 1839 in Sumter County,
Alabama.
|
The life of William POOLE, Jr., however, seems to be
well-documented. See below, note
6.
Note 3: Esther MANNING, the wife of Adam POOLE,
Sr., was the daughter of Samuel MANNING (ABT 1721 - BEF
May 1792) whose will was proven in Warren County, North
Carolina. Her mother appears to have been Mary MABRY
(born ABT 1723). If she was of Surry County, Virginia,
Mary MABRY may have been the daughter of Charles MABRY
and Rebecca UNKNOWN.
Note 4: Samuel HOLMES was the father
of Elizabeth HOLMES, the wife of Robert POOLE. His will,
dated 13 September 1762 and proven in Mecklenburg County
on 14 July 1766, does not mention Elizabeth HOLMES but it
does mention his granddaughter Elizabeth POOL(E).
Note 5: The Will of Mary POOLE, dated
22 January 22 1807, was proved in Fairfield County, South
Carolina on 5 January 5 1808 and named as heirs Ephraim
MABRY, Mary MOBLEY, Susannah MOOREMAN, Cecily WAFER,
Margaret H. MABRY, Adam MABRY, and Elizabeth POOLE.
Ephraim MABRY, Sr. died about April 1789 in Fairfield
County, South Carolina. Ephraim MABRY, Sr. wrote his Will
in Fairfield County, South Carolina, but it was destroyed
"in the war." The Will was
"reconstituted" by the persons who originally
witnessed the Will. His Will named his sons Joel, Daniel,
Ephraim, and Adam Pool MABRY; daughters named were
Cicely, Margaret H., Mary, and Elizabeth MABRY. James
THOMAS was named legatee; he was the first husband of
Susannah MABRY. He was born in Brunswick County,
Virginia. [Especially see G0494A: William
SCAIFE (Sr.) of South Carolina, note 5 in Descendants of
Robert Scaife I of Winton (ABT 1515 - 11 January 1591).]
Ephraim MABRY was the son of Hinchia MABRY (1697,
Surry County, Virginia, British North America - 1762,
Brunswick County, Virginia, British North America) and
Frances PARHAM (ABT 1697, Surry County, Virginia, British
North America - 1749, Virginia, British North America)
who were married, in Surry County, Virginia, in 1720. His
siblings were: Elizabeth Bailey MABRY (ABT 1721 - ?) [F];
Hinchia MABRY (ABT 1723 - ?) [M]; Joshua MABRY (ABT 1725
- ?) [M]; Nathaniel MABRY (ABT 1730 - ?) [M]; Daniel
MABRY (ABT 1731 - ?) [M]; and Joel MABRY (ABT 1732 - ?)
[M].

were no females listed in Walter's household in the 1790
census.

19th District, Britton Stamps, Asst. Marshal and District

Alabama is not correct.
Note 2: Reference to: Paulina S. A.
SCAIFE, Samuel LOVEJOY, and William F. LOVEJOY:
| |
"William F. Lovejoy is
foreman of the Leonard plantation in Greene
County, Arkansas, which is one of the finest in
the State, containing 2,000 acres under wire
fence, with 600 acres in cultivation. On this
farm is a good general store, belonging to Mr.
Lovejoy, and a saw and grist-mill and a
cotton-gin belonging to Mr. Leonard. They are
largely interested in raising blooded stock, the
plantation being admirably adapted to this
industry, and a specialty is made of raising
Poland China and Berkshire hogs. Nineteen
dwelling houses are on the place, and the barn,
which is 100×85 feet, is one of the best in the
State. From 250 to 300 acres of land are annually
devoted to the culture of cotton, which receives
the most of Mr. Lovejoy's attention. He was born
in DeKalb County, Georgia, in 1843, and was the
second in a family of five children born to
Samuel and Paulina (Scaife) Lovejoy, who were
also Georgians, the father a planter and merchant
by occupation. In 1848 they moved to Alabama and
resided on a plantation in that State, and here
the mother died, in 1850. The father remained
there until 1870, when he moved to Phillips
County, Arkansas, in which State he resided until
his death, in 1883. William F. Lovejoy was reared
on a plantation and received his education in the
schools of Alabama. While living in that State he
was married, in 1864, to Frances Carrington, and
at the time of his father's removal to Arkansas
he and wife came also and engaged in farming and
merchandising. He owns a good farm in St. Francis
County, but since 1883 he has resided in Greene
County, and since 1886 has had charge of Mr.
Leonard's farm, which he is conducting in a
highly satisfactory manner. Besides his property
in St. Francis County he has 160 acres, with
forty under cultivation, near Mr. Leonard's farm.
He has never been very active in politics, but
votes the Democratic ticket. In 1862, while in
Alabama, he joined M. M. Slaughter's Company,
Bell's Battalion, Tenth Regiment, Confederate
States Army, but became afflicted with chronic
diarrhœa and was honorably discharged. He is
a member of the A. F. & A. M., Brinkley Lodge
No. 295. He has seen a great change for the
better in Greene County since locating here, and
has witnessed the full growth of Rector, and has
been the means of opening up more land than any
man in Blue Cane Township. He has also done much
to increase the wealth of the same, and has
expended over $10,000 in clearing the large
plantation of which he is manager, and which is
now one of the most valuable pieces of property
in the State. He and wife became the parents of
two children, one of whom died in infancy, and
the other, Mary Pauline, is the wife of Mr.
Bradford, merchant and express agent at Brinkley,
Arkansas; she is the mother of one child, William
Monroe." Source: Biographical and

The following narrative is taken from Cadmus
M. Wilcox's Alabama Brigade: 1862 - 1865:
| |
"The 14th Alabama Infantry
Regiment was organized at Auburn on 1 Aug 1861
with men from Montgomery and Auburn and the
counties of Chambers, Jackson, Randolph, and
Tallapoosa. It went first to Huntsville and
remained until October, then to Fredericksburg,
Virginia where it arrived in November. It was
sent to Richmond to rest after suffering camp
diseases, especially measles. Proceeding to
Yorktown, it was brigaded under Gen. Roger Pryor
of Virginia, Longstreet's Division. The command
fell back with the army, and fought at
Williamsburg with heavy loss to four of the
companies. In April, 1862, it numbered 700
effectives. At Seven Pines, it was again in
action, with but few casualties. It participated
at Mechanicsville and was almost annihilated at
Frazier's Farm and Malvern Hill, losing nearly
all the officers, after charging the enemy's
positions repeatedly (335 casualties.) It moved
toward the Potomac with the army and was engaged
with slight loss at the 2nd battle of Manassas
(47 casualties). Greatly reduced in strength, the
14th fought at Sharpsburg, suffering severely in
casualties. Placed in Cadmus Wilcox' Brigade,
Anderson's Division (with the 8th, 9th, 10th, and
11th Alabama regiments) it was on the line of the
Rappahannock during the winter of 1862-63 and was
in line of battle on the heights when Burnside
was repulsed at Fredericksburg. The regiment was
hotly engaged, with heavy loss (151 casualties),
at Salem Church (at Chancellorsville). It went on
the Pennsylvania campaign to Gettysburg, and of
the 316 men engaged, 15% were casualties. The
winter of 1863/64 was passed in camp near Orange
Court House, and the 14th was engaged at both The
Wilderness and Spottsylvania. Now in Sanders'
Brigade, Mahone's Division, the 14th participated
in the numerous struggles around Petersburg
during the last 10 months of the war. It
surrendered at Appomattox with only 70-80 present
under Capt. Perry of Lowndes (Crute reports 11
officers and 180 men surrendering). The original
muster was 1317 names; 250 or more died in
battle, 350 died in the service, and 159 were
discharged or transferred." 
BATTLE FLAG of the 14th ALABAMA
"This flag is an Army of Northern
Virginia, 7th wool bunting Richmond Depot flag
issued to the regiment in March or early April
1865. It was surrendered by the remnant of the
14th Alabama Infantry on April 12, 1865 at
Appomattox. The flag was eventually forwarded to
the War Department where it was assigned Capture
Number 347. The flag and its staff were returned
to the State of Alabama effective March 25, 1905.
The staff, which had been separated from the
flag, was located and positively identified in
July, 1998."

"WILLIAM MADISON BAKER, M.D.
William Madison Baker, M.D., is well known as a
leading and successful physician and surgeon of
the town of Arcadia, La., and although this place
has been his home for some time, he was born in
Claiborne Parish, La., November 19, 1852, the
eldest of a family of five children, the other
members of the family being: John H. (Who is
married and a cotton planter of Claiborne Parish,
la.); J. E. (Who is married and also follows the
same occupation there); Sallie (wife of Col. J.
W. Nicholson, president of the State university
at Baton Rouge); and Early (who died in infancy).
The parents of these children were Georgians, the
former being a cotton planter, and during the
latter part of his life a merchant. He is still
living, and is a resident of Arcadia, but since
his wife's death, at the age of fifty three
years, he has been a widower. The early education
of Dr. Baker was obtained in the common schools,
but he completed his literary knowledge in
Arizona, La., when Prof. Nicholson, now president
of the State University, was principal, the
institution being known to all native Louisianan,
as the best in the State at that time. He left
this school to take up fully the study of
medicine, which he had already begun, and began
reading under the renowned Dr. James M. Scaife,
his uncle, being fitted in 1872 to enter the
medical department of Tulane University, where he
took a full course, graduating in 1874, in class
of about sixty five, receiving a diploma in all
the different phases of medicine and surgery. He
at once began practicing at Arizona, Claiborne
Parish, near his old home, and here he remained
until 1886, during which time he became widely
known as a physician of far more than ordinary
ability and intelligence. Since that time he has
resided int he town of Arcadia, engaged as a
pharmacist exclusively the last few years, his
line of drugs being very complete, and his
establishment handsomely appointed. All the
property that he now owns has been acquired
through his won energy, tact and ability, for on
starting in life for himself he had no means. He
was married November 29, 1874, to Miss Eugenia M.
Jordan who was born in Lee County, Georgia,
January 22, 1854, a graduate of Homer Masonic
Female college, of which Prof. Wilcox was
president, completing her education in 1872. To
the Doctor and his wife the following children
have been born: Lou Annie, (an attendant of the
Female College of Arcadia); Clara W. (Also in
that institution); Willie Clyde (deceased),
Talmage, Sallie and Archie. The doctor and his
wife prepare their children for college entrance,
and do not believe in bringing children too early
into school work. Mrs. Baker is a thorough
scholar and a practical instructor, which is very
fortunate for her little children. The Doctor has
always been a Democrat, and has always endeavored
to cast his vote for men of honor and integrity.
He belongs to Arcadia Lodge No. 126, F.&A.M.
and also is a member of the K.of P. Lodge. He and
his wife are earnest members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, and are deeply interested
in Sunday school work, the Doctor teaching a
class of the representative young ladies of the
town. His home in Arcadia is an ideal one, and
here true hospitality is extended to all, rich
and poor alike. He is a member of the board of
education of Arcadia, of the E.A.S. Male College,
and of the Arcadia Female College, and is also a
city councilman. He and his wife expect to make
their future home here, for here their interests
are centered, and here have sprung up around them
numerous friends." Source: "William

Note 5: Reference to the burial site
[Forest Grove Cemetery, near Arizona, Claiborne Parish,
Louisiana] of James Madison SCAIFE, M. D.:
| |
"A few miles west of Lisbon
was the thriving business stand of Forest Grove,
the leading spirit of which was that truly good
and upright man, Frank Taylor. He now sleeps in
the bosom of Texas, and the place he once made
noted throughout Claiborne, is now pointed out by
the cold marble shaft in its silent forest grave
yard. Here rests the remains of that eloquent and
active Christian, Tatum Wafer; and Dr. Scaife, a
physician of note and a man of business; of
Milton Barnett, and many others whose memory is
yet green in the hearts of surviving friends and
relatives. The Methodist Church at this place was
the most noted in the parish in its day, for here
the ablest men preached and the most effective
work was accomplished in the name of the Master.
North from this place on the banks of the Corni
flourished for years the active village of
Scottsville at the supposed head of navigation on
that stream. But navigation never came. Yet such
men as Major Browning, Dr. Bush, Thomas Hart, the
Stanleys and others like these, gave it life and
vigor for years. But the village is now dead and
no longer known." Source: "Claiborne

Note 7: Mary M. SCAIFE and Jefferson
James BLACKMAN engendered Euretta Virginia BLACKMAN
(1851, Lousiana - 1908, Homer, Claiborne Parish Lousiana)
who, about 1871, in Homer, Claiborne Parish, Louisiana,
was married to William Clayton BORING (1840, Homer,
Claiborne Parish, Louisiana - 1915, Homer, Claiborne
Parish, Louisiana), the son of Joseph Tarpley BORING and
Cecily ("Sicily") Ann WAFER, who were married
in 1836.
Mary M. SCAIFE and Jefferson James BLACKMAN also
engendered May BLACKMAN (15 January 1867, Louisiana- 31
July 1889, Claiborne Parish, Louisiana: interment at
Forest Grove Cemetery, near Arizona, Claiborne Parish,
Louisiana).
The United States Census of 1880 for the Seventh Ward
of Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, p. 365A, shows the
household of Jefferson J. BLACKMAN as follows:
| |
J. J. BLACKMAN, male, farmer,
aged 65, born in South Carolina, both parents
born in South Carolina
Mary SCAIFE, female, mother-in-law, aged 78, born

Mollie BLACKMAN, female, aged 18, born in
Louisiana, father born in South Carolina, mother
born in Georgia
May BLACKMAN, female, aged 16, born in Louisiana,
father born in South Carolina, mother born in

Jefferson James BLACKMAN is likely to have been the
brother of Sarah BLACKMAN who married James Madison
SCAIFE, M. D.
From Ms. Pattie Howard Reeves and Mr. Harold Shields
Blackmon:
| |
"Jefferson James BLACKMAN
was the son of Benjamin and Letha Johnson
BLACKMAN of Camden District, Lancaster County,
South Carolina. The section of Lancaster
COUNTY where the BLACKMAN families settled
developed into the Rich Hill, Fork Hill, Pleasant
Hill, Liberty Hill, and Camp Creek communities.
The entire section was owned by James and Anna
Clark BLACKMAN. James and Anna had six sons and
one daughter. "Benjamin BLACKMAN had been
given the Pleasant Hill part of the estate. When
James BLACKMAN, died Benjamin BLACKMAN sold
part of his inheritance to his brother John J.
BLACKMAN. Jefferson James BLACKMAN, the oldest
son, left South Carolina for Harris
County,Georgia along with his younger brother
Josiah BLACKMAN. When Benjamin BLACKMAN died, son
James BLACKMAN would not return to settle the
estate. Josiah BLACKMAN did return. Another son
of Ben's went to court to settle the estate and
later died in a Yankee Prison.
