Edmond Jackson (E.J.) Poole was born to John F. Poole and Annie Galloway Poole on June 4,1860 in Culloden Village, Monroe County, Georgia. He died May 27, 1928. His death certificate, filled out by his wife, lists his name as Edward Jackson. He is buried in Hillcrest Cemetery, Reynolds, Taylor County, Georgia
His name is often spelled in various ways: Edmon, Edmond, Edmund, and apparently Edward. I believe he went by his initials, E.J.
He is listed on the Monroe County 1860 census for Culloden and his age given as 1 year. In 1870 he was listed as 'Edward', age 11.
In 1880 He is listed in Taylor County, Butler, Georgia. His age given was 21 and his wife was listed as Nancy, age 18. I believe her birthname was Nancy Luvenia Stillwell.
