These two children have been Brick wall histories for me. I've found two bits of information about Elizabeth J. Pool that led me to believe she lived in Macon, Bibb County Georgia, but I have not been able to find her on any census post 1870 Monroe County.
In initial research I had mistakenly thought I'd found a record of her marriage to a Walter Kinder. However, having followed another researcher's line, I have good reason to believe that I am utterly mistaken about this Elizabeth J. Pool. And so, the search shall be refreshed for my own Elizabeth Pool.
The last child of John F. Poole and Annie Galloway is John B. Poole. I found a record of a boarder living in Bibb Co. in 1880 by the name of John B. Poole, 30, occupation listed as printer. He is listed with a wife Laura, age 24 and a daughter Annie, age 5. The residence is listed as being on Oak Street and was house #28 on the census conducted June 4, 1880, by census taker James S.
There is a christening record for daughter Annie whose name is listed as Annie Laurie Pool, dated July 16, 1875. Father is listed as John J. Pool and mother as Anna Laura Pool. It could be John B. named hi daughter for both his deceased mother and his wife.
I suspect this record might well be my John Pool, but I cannot trace it from that time nor find any information that might be helpful in making this connection.
I do not know why Elizabeth and John split off the family, since the other boys and Harriett all moved to Taylor County, Georgia sometime after 1870 and made their lives there for years after. I wonder if Elizabeth might have died after 1870, but I can find no mention, grave, or record of that.
note, October 2024: I recently stumbled upon a death certificate for Laura Pool, John B. Poole's daughter, in Kite, Johnson County, Georgia at age 64. She is listed as single, occupation house cleaner. Her certificate information was given by a Eugene Pool. I have not yet determined who Eugene is nor how he is related to this family line. But the certificate clearly lists her father as John Pool. Note here that the name is spelled without the 'e'. I am not certain that this is my family line at this time. Further research is necessary.
