    Notes:

    According to the letter from Lillie Sherwood (Acker), Peter Pool was a private in the Revolutionary War. His son, Peter Jr. also served 14 years in the regular army. He was also in the war of 1812.

    (Research):Did Peter Pool(e) have two wives? Lillie Sherwood's document states he was married to Mary Yates, yet there is evidence that he was married to Phoebe Strossnider.

    I am afraid I am not much help on research sources where the Poole Strossnider families are concerned. The information I have, I got from research my father's great-aunt did it 50 or 60 years ago. She did not give any sources. I can say, however, that all the other information I have from her research was accurate and verifiable so far. But I have not yet verified what she had on this branch of the family. Here, however, is what I do have:

    I have Peter Poole as being born in 1758 in Fairfax Co., VA. (Some sources suggest his parents were Daniel Poole [b. 12 June 1715 in Sheffield, England] and Catherine Ann Van Swearingen.)

    I have Peter married twice: to Mary (maiden name unknown) and to Phoebe Strossnider.

    My aunt wrote that he was a "Revolutionary War veteran - 16th Virginia Regiment 16 April 1777 to 2 Sept 1780. Honorable discharge for reasons of health. Took part in battles at Brandywine, Germantown, and Monmouth. For his service, he was granted 100 acres of land in Faifax County, which he deeded over to Thomas Patterson, apparently to pay a debt. Married Phoebe Strossnider while on a three-month furlough in 1778, and returned to the war, leaving her with her family in Augusta Town (near present day Washington, PA.)"

    Children of Peter listed as:

    Phoebe Poole (b. 1784, m. George Knox)
    Mary Ann Poole (b. 1802, m. Matthew Griffin)
    Sarah Ann Poole (b. 1810, m. William Wilson - 9 children, whose names I have)
    Elizabeth Poole (b. 1813)
    Daniel Poole
    William Poole
    Peter Poole
    Lydia Poole (m. _____ Foster)
    Mary Poole
    Susan Poole
    Catherine Poole (m. William Campbell)

    She did not indicate which children were from which marriage, though if her marriage date for Peter and Phoebe is correct, we know at least Phoebe, Mary Ann, Sarah Ann, and Elizabeth were children of his second wife, Phoebe.)

    I have read with interest yours and others messages relating to Peter Poole, and relationship with the Mitchell family. I have been trying for a number of years to find out information on y Poole and Mitchell ancestors.

    My great great grandmother was Julia Ann Poole b.28 Jan 1844 in Pennsylvania. She Married Marion Hayes Mitchell b.3 dec 1839. Julia Poole was the daughter of Peter Poole and Frances Wilson. Peter Poole born abt. 1800 in Pennsylvania. Peter was the son of Peter Poole, born 1758 in Fairfax Co., Virginia.

    I know the Poole family migrated to Ohio at one point as both of Julia Ann's berothers enlisted in the military during the Civil War in Ohio and her brother Robert married in Columbiana Co., Ohio.

    I have no information on Marion Hayes Mitchell other than his mother was Eliza Jane Hayes and his father was David Mitchell who died young. Do I connect with your Poole/Mitchell family? I would appreciate any help.

    I, too, am supposedly descended from Peter Poole and Phoebe Strossnider through their daughter Sarah Ann Poole (1810-1878) and her husband William Wilson (1805-1878). I have tried unsuccessfully to prove this connection for the past ten years. Some information about the descendants of Daniel Poole and Catherine Ann VanSwerengen, parents of Peter Poole, can be found in the reference "Poole Family" by Mollie B. Knox, published in Waynesboro, PA in 1937. The Washington, PA Citizen's Library has a copy...not sure where else one might be located. Note that info on my line in this book has proven to be mostly untrue! As an example, Elizabeth Wilson, d/o William Wilson and Sarah Ann Poole, is noted as marrying Thomas Walker, my great great grandfather in 1849, yet she appears with her parents in the 1850 through 1870 census records of Allegheny Co, PA! Oh well, hope the reference is of some use to you.

    Regards, Jane
