William Pool
|
William Pool and children are found in Lexington Co. SC, and
apparently he was a large land owner at which he eventually deeded to
his children and grandchildren through the years.
1.Joseph Henry 1791
2.Jacob Pool 1792
3.Fredrick Abram 1804
4.Mary L.1806
5.Catherine 1816
6.Martha 1820
7.Jane S. A. 1829.
Some of the children remained in the Lexington area, while others moved to
Alabama and stayed there, while others moved on to Texas.
Frederick Abram and others stayed in Alabama.
Jacob Pool
moved from Lexington Co. SC to Montgomery Co. Alabama abt. 1830. ( Jacob's
father, William Pool and the other children were listed in that same county
)He stayed there until abt. 1840.From Alabama he moved his family to Polk
Co. Texas in covered wagons , to become hunters. He brought along his wife
Catherine Sightler Pool, sons
John William Pool,
Henry Joseph Pool,
George Washington Pool , daughters
Mary Ann,
Mariada Anies, and Martha Elizabeth.
Jacob and sons hunted the Big Thicket and it has been said that on one hunt
they killed 13 black bear, all weighing 700-800 lbs. each. They also hunted
deer, and wild turkey. After tanning the skins of the bear and deer were
bundled and sent to Houston until the law was passed that said the hunters
had to have individual buyers because the public thought they were getting
too rich. Jacob Pool died 2-25-1852 and his wife and children were still
listed in Polk Co, Tx.
The Pool Family eventually moved near Richards Texas and
that area was called Pool's Community. The family
attended church at Pool's Chapel which is now known as Union Grove Church.
On August 17, 1884 the Union
Grove Church was established and John William Pool was part of the Baptist
group. The church was both Methodist and Baptist. The land for the church
was donated by William Joseph Pool, it had been a gift to him from his
father John William. The land was part of the Hezaki Farris Land. The Pool's
also donated lumber to build the church, from their saw mill , as well as
their time. The first building was made of rough lumber and was nailed with
square nails. The siding was 3/4 inch x 6 inch lapped lumber. The roof was
made of split boards. The shutters of the windows were also made of lumber
and at times when it was very dark, making it so that at times the clerk
could not read the minutes. They used kerosene lamps to light the building
until 1949 when electric lights were installed. There was no heat in the
building and many times the services were not held because it was too cold.
Through the years the church has gone through , several renovations and a
rebuild.
The Pool Cemetery is located behind The Union Grove
Church, where you can find many members of the Pool family and their
families. John William and Joannah Welch graves are in a enclosed fence area
near the front of the cemetery.
From stories told Uncle Eben made some of the finest syrup in
the area. The Pool's also raised peanuts and as my husbands recalls the
peanut butter his grandparents made, being the best he ever tasted.
