Subject: Poole Family

I am searching for ancestors of William F. Poole b Miss about 1827, went to San Augustine Co. Tex 1839 with a lot of other Pooles. He married Caroline English in Shelby Co. Tex. about 1854 moved to Trinity Co. Tex after 1864. died there in 1879.William and Caroline had a dau nemed Sarah Virginia b 6 June 1864, she married Abran Mathews and they are my grandparents. They lived in Trinity and Cherokee Co until a short time before they died. My father was raised in Cherokee Co. so I was very excited when I found that Mary Jane Louisa Poole was buried in Douglas Texas as that is in western Nacogdoches Co. My Mother was raised in Douglas and there are a lot of heer family buried there, Weavers, McKnight, and Clute. My parents lived in Nacogdoches most of their married life, they are both buried in the Fairview Cemetery. For some time I have thought that my William F.Poole might be a brother to your Mary Jane Louisa Poole, a lot of then lived close to each other in Shelby Co. they must be related. I will appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, Laura Mathews Deater, we live in Georgetown, Texas
