Pool Family of Pasquotank County, NC

Updated May 12, 2005
"The Pools were of the old Cavalier stock, who were among the pioneer settlers of Eastern North Carolina. They came from Chester County, England, around 1670. Patrick Pool came from an old and distinguished family, one of his ancestors having been knighted in 1677. In 1760 he received from John, Earl of Granville, a large tract of land in North Carolina. This land was left as a legacy to his family, which in time became one of the largest and most prominent in the State. His grandson, Solomon Pool, married Martha Gaskins. She was the mother of George D. Pool, Senator John Pool, Dr. William G. Pool and Solomon Pool D.D. Martha Gaskins was a woman of refined and poetic nature, and was a writer of both prose and verse. A poetic strain ran through the Gaskins family which has shown itself in many of the Pool descendants." Bettie Freshwater Pool, Literature in the Albemarle.
This site contains many of the poems and writings of the Pool family as well as articles written about them.
