Exploring The Missing Jones-Pool Marriage
Minitree Jones, one of the earliest founding fathers of Grayson County, Virginia, left a large family for which very little has been written. His Grayson County descendants maintained a farm which exists to this day (and is of historical importance), and maintained frequent activities in the county affairs. His sons and daughters, no doubt, inherited some of their father’s wealth through real and personal estate. However, there is one relationship in the Jones children which has been probably the least researched.
Minitree Jones and wife Elizabeth’s eldest daughter was Mary Jones, born 15 January 1776, probably in St. Martin’s Parish, Louisa County, Virginia. Her birth is based upon a written copy of the family record from a Bible in 1959[1] which supposedly belonged to Minitree Jones (the elder), and later descended through his son of the same name (as the younger Minitree Jones’ family record was also enclosed); her place of birth is based upon the known residence of Minitree Jones in tithe lists for St. Martin’s Parish from 1774 to 1776. Additionally, on 12 March 1776, Minitree Jones posted a notice in the Virginia Gazette warning persons to abstain from business with a John Gilbert for failure to execute a title for land to Jones for two tracts of land[2]. Mary Jones did not live long in Louisa County, for her father’s residence during the American Revolution changed frequently. The exact reasoning for his migration is not entirely clear at this time, though there has been no proof up through this time (through thorough examination of Virginia’s audited accounts, military records, pensions, etc.) that Minitree Jones ever served in any military capacity. In fact, by the time Minitree settled in Montgomery Co, VA, he had been court martialed in Montgomery Court for failure to attend muster in April 1783[3]. That said, Minitree Jones was found for at least a year in Christ Church Parish, Lancaster County, Virginia, when he took the oath of allegiance to the state in 1777. That same year, on 28 November 1777, his name appeared on a petition to the Virginia Legislature, petitioning for the dissolution of the vestry; Jones appears to have signed his name as a vestryman for the said parish[4]. He must have spent the years 1780-1782 in King William County, for his name is not found in Lancaster County after 1777; his name appears in the accounts of the merchant’s ledgers at Aylett, Virginia, in 1781 and 1782, which would indicate his residence and doing business in the vicinity[5]. This migration makes sense, since his father-in-law, James Powell, was resident of King William County during the war. After 1782, Minitree Jones and his family settled in western Virginia, in Montgomery County.
There has been no recorded loss of any records in Montgomery County. However, the size of the county and the general nature of the backgrounds of many of the county’s residents ensured that accurate record keeping was fairly uneven for much of the county’s first 20-30 years. Montgomery County was still an unsettled territory with Indian attacks during the last quarter of the eighteenth century. Settlers moving in the area were those moving away from established colonial (or state) settlements, lured not only by open and inexpensive land but less government. Montgomery County was a haven for Loyalists and Tories during the Revolution, as it was also a haven for every religious “outsider” in the predominantly Anglican Virginia: the Presbyterian Scotch-Irish highlanders from the Augusta County valley, German Lutherans from the same valley (and Pennsylvania, Maryland, and North Carolina), Quakers from Bedford County and western North Carolina, other German denominations (particularly Reformed Congregations who broke off from the Moravian Church), and the relatively new Baptist congregation (who frequently moved around Virginia and North Carolina, as they were refused recognition on the same level as Quakers in terms of “affirming” instead of swearing loyalty). For much of this time period, Minitree Jones’ name only makes sporadic mentions in the county records. He is not found in deed records until Grayson County was established in 1792.
Mary Jones has no marriage record to prove her union. Minitree Jones died intestate while in office in the Virginia House of Delegates on 1 February 1821, and his estate was not fully settled for many years. By a genealogical statement, we can fully prove that her marriage was to Edward Pool, one of the sons of William Pool, formerly of Rowan County, North Carolina. If there are few mentions of Mary Jones, ironically, Edward Pool is more infrequently mentioned in Grayson County after his father had settled in the area in the early 1790s. While William Pool is found in land records in Grayson County, only his son John Pool is found in any of the extant tax records of the 1790s in the county. The first tax list to show Edward Pool was the 1800 Personal Property tax for Grayson County, showing Edward over age 21 years and paying tax on 2 horses; this tax year also included his father William, and brothers Isaac, John, and William Pool. Edward appeared in the county’s personal property tax lists thereafter, but only William Pool Sr. appeared in land tax lists. It is probable that if Edward Pool farmed any of his own land, he likely rented or leased the land instead of owned. Edward Pool appeared in the county’s 1810 personal property list, but was not shown in the 1813 tax. By 1817, a Polly Pool was assessed in the personal property lists, thereby assuming that Polly (Mary), Edward’s wife, was the head of any property which Edward owned. Polly Pool appears again in the 1824 personal property tax but not Grayson County’s 1825 or 1828 lists; there is a Mary Poole in the 1835 tax list, however.
The tax records for Polly Pool above may belong to Edward Pool’s mother, Mary, the widow of William Pool dec’d, but examination into these mentions appear to side with Mary Pool, widow of Edward Pool. In July 1813, Mary Pool purchased 50 acres of land on Elk Creek from Martin Dickenson of Grayson County, by the Wolf Pen Branch[6]. Mary Pool sold this land on 16 September 1817 to George Harper of Grayson County[7]. In November 1821, Mary Pool purchased another tract of 40 acres from Martin Dickenson, adjoining lands of John Pool, and being the part of the tract of land conveyed to Dickenson by Joseph Scott, Marshall of Virginia; Mary Pool was evidence as already having lived on the land, since there was an improvement and plantation thereon at the time[8]. Mary again sold this land on 6 October 1822, to David Ring of Grayson County; the deed was witnessed by Minitree Pool, Ptolemy Pool, and George Ring[9].
Proof of Mary Jones and Edward Pool’s union is determined through a process:
Edward Pool regularly appears as a witness to several deeds in the early 1800s. He witnessed two deeds made between Nelson Powell Jones of Anson County, North Carolina and Charles Jones on 24 September 1803[10]. Nelson was the eldest son of Minitree Jones Sr. Both of these deeds were also witnessed by a “M. Jones”; it cannot be determined whether these signatures were for Minitree Jones (Sr. or Jr.) or for Mary Jones. Edward last witnesses the deed of Barnabee Wells and wife Margaret of Grayson County to John Pool of Grayson County on 4 December 1809[11]; this deed was also witnessed by A. Jones and William Pool. The “A. Jones” likely refers to Abner Jones, since Abner regularly signed his name and appeared in his own records as “A. Jones” during this time.
On 23 July 1822, Nathan Thomas and wife Rebekah of Grayson County, Virginia, conveyed unto the heirs of Edward Pool dec’d (not named), a tract of 50 acres by survey on a branch of Elk Creek in that county[12].
On 16 November 1822, Polly Pool of Grayson County, and her heirs: Jacob Kirk, Minitree Pool, Ptolemy Pool, Tempa Pool, Alphea Pool, Sidney Pool, Emily Pool, and Alfred Pool, all conveyed to George Harper of Grayson County, a tract of 50 acres on a branch of Elk Creek in Grayson County. The deed was not fully acknowledged until 18 August 1838, when Emily Catron and Sidney Vaught proved the deed (both formerly Emily Pool and Sidney Pool). Minitree Pool and Jacob Kirk acknowledged the deed on 26 November 1822, while Ptolemy Pool acknowledged the same on 28 August 1828. Tempy Pool acknowledged the deed on 25 March 1828, while Alfred Pool acknowledged the deed on 9 January 1835. Lastly, Mary Pool acknowledged the deed on 3 August 1838. As there is no heir named Mary “Polly,” this last acknowledgement proved that Mary Jones Pool was still living as of 3 August 1838.
At the Superior Court of Chancery and Law for Wythe District in October Term 1823, William Galt instituted a suit against the administrators of Minitree Jones Sr. dec’d (Abner Jones and Minitree Jones Jr.) and the heirs of said Minitree Jones Sr. dec’d: Nelson P. Jones, Samuel Fulton and wife Patsy, Churchwell Jones and wife Julia, Minitree Jones, Mary Pool, John Robinson and wife Euphemia, Arthur Fulton and wife Naomi, William Golding and wife Lucy, and Alfred Swift and wife Nancy[13]. The court ordered that the estate administration be brought to “Master Commissioner” Mathews to be examined and settled; notice was also granted for John Robinson and Arthur Fulton and wives to be published for their appearance in the court, as they were non-residents of the state.
On 8 April 1825, Martin Dickenson and Minitree Jones Jr. pursued the partition of the full real estate of the lands of Minitree Jones Sr. dec’d, after having purchased all the distributive shares from the heirs of said Minitree Jones dec’d[14]. It was made known that Dickenson and Jones purchased the shares of the heirs, with Minitree Jones Jr. purchasing the shares of Mary Pool, Arthur Fulton and wife Naomi, and John Robinson [also Roberson] and wife Uphamey; Dickenson purchased the shares from the other heirs.
On 23 August 1825, Mary Pool of Grayson County, Virginia, conveyed unto Minitree Jones (Jr.) of Grayson County, all of her interest in all of the lands of which her father Minitree Jones (Sr.) died seized of in Grayson County[15].
On 10 February 1831[16], Tempy Pool, Sidney Pool, and Emily Pool of Grayson County, Virginia, and Moses Pierce and wife Elizabeth of Wythe County, Virginia, conveyed unto Alford Pool of Spotsylvania County, Virginia, all of their right, title, claim, demand, and interest to four tracts of land on Turkey Fork of Elk Creek in Grayson County, which had descended to them by the last will and testament of their brother Ptolemy Pool dec’d[17]. On the same date, Jeremiah Wright of Grayson County, Virginia, also conveyed unto the said Alford Pool of Spotsylvania County, a tract of 40 acres on Turkey Fork of Elk Creek[18]. This last tract was adjacent to lands of Stephen Clark, the heirs of Edward Pool dec’d, and Lewis Hale Jr. It appears that Wright’s tract of land was located next to the lands conveyed by Tempy, Sidney, and Emily Pool, given the land description on the Turkey Fork. When Jeremiah Wright purchased the land from John Fielder on 15 June 1824[19], the land was described as being 50 acres on both sides of the Turkey Fork, by lands of Polly Pool, a field of the said Jeremiah Wright, Richard Wright, Richard Hale, Burris Hale, and Dennis Fielder. It is probable that sometime during 1824-1831, the land of Polly Pool must have changed hands to her heirs, since Tempy, Sidney, and Emily were selling off their interest to the lands which Ptolemy Pool owned (for which Ptolemy Pool had probably been the owner); any sale or transfer of this land, however, has not been recorded, since there are no recorded or unrecorded deeds between these parties, and the will of Ptolemy Pool has been missing at this time. The motivation for Alford Pool to purchase the lands is unknown, since he remained in Spotsylvania County thereafter. However, it appears that Alford purchased the land from his siblings by money loaned from Samuel Fulton (son-in-law of Minitree Jones Sr.), since Alford entered into a deed of trust on the same date as the two deeds above with William Cornett of Grayson County, in order to secure the payment of $213.82 owed to Fulton; the collateral of the trust deed was the four tracts of land Pool purchased, and was to be paid and discharged on or before 25 December 1831[20].
Alfred Pool came to move to Spotsylvania County on 6 January 1842, when Elizabeth Jones of Grayson County conveyed all of her interest as a legatee of the estate of her brother William Powell dec’d in Spotsylvania County, consisting of an undivided fourth part of a tract whereon William Powell dec’d formerly lived, and an undivided fourth of 13 slaves, and to all other property which she may have been a legatee[21]. Although the relationship is not direct in the will, the following information is clear from compiled evidence: Elizabeth Jones was the widow of Minitree Jones dec’d, since she is referencing her brother William Powell’s estate in Spotsylvania County. By way of this relationship, this would have been Elizabeth Jones conveying her interest to her grandson, Alfred Pool. Alfred Pool must have kept in close contact with his Powell kinship, for on 17 September 1844, Ann Powell of Spotsylvania County gave Alfred a negro man named John, for love and affection[22]. What is not exactly clear is Ann Powell’s relationship to the family, since on the same date, she also gave “for love and affection” unto Edward A. Pool of Spotsylvania County, a negro girl named Ann[23]; the exact relationships are not specified. It is also not understood exactly who Edward A. Pool was, since Alfred did not have a brother named Edward. He did name his eldest son Edward A. Pool, who would have been born several months prior to this deed, but the language in the deed refers to Edward having paid the $1 for the deed of gift.
Alfred Pool resided in Spotsylvania County much of his adult life, and was at least twice married. His death record in that county on 18 May 1886 states he was a native of Grayson County, Virginia[24]. His second marriage was to Nanny King on 1 February 1859 of Spotsylvania County[25]; this marriage record shows that Pool was a native of Grayson County, aged 48 years, and the son of “E. & M.” Pool. Through the analysis of this family record, we can ascertain this was for “Edward” and “Mary” Pool.
Sidney Vaught’s death record in Grayson County, Virginia, dated 10 March 1889, identifies her parents as Edward Pool and wife Polly[26].
By way of the analysis of the heirs of Mary “Polly” Jones Pool, and especially through son Alfred Pool and daughter Sidney Vaught, it can be proven that Edward Pool married Mary Jones. Their known family record would be as follows:
Elizabeth “Betsy” Pool, b. ca. 1799, Grayson Co, VA, d. 1884, Smyth Co, VA. A similar proof of marriage argument exists in proving Elizabeth’s two marriages due to a lack of a marriage record for both, but the November 1822 deed from Polly Pool and heirs proves that, through elimination, Jacob Kirk was the spouse of Elizabeth. By February 1831, Elizabeth was married to Moses Pierce and was living in Wythe Co, VA, since she is referred as an heir to her brother Ptolemy Pool dec’d when selling her interest to her brother Alfred Pool of Spotsylvania County.
Minitree Pool, b. 14 January 1801, Grayson Co, VA, d. 10 December 1872, Greene Co, IN[27]. He married Mary “Polly” Hale on 13 November 1823 in Grayson Co, VA[28]. On 27 October 1828, Minitree Pool and wife Polly of Grayson Co, VA, conveyed unto Samuel Fulton, executor of the estate of Ptolemy Pool dec’d, one third part of two undivided tracts of land of 70 and 100 acres on Elk Creek and Turkey Fork; due to the fact that Ptolemy Pool’s will was never probated and brought forth until after 1851, the deeds were not proven until 25 September 1851 by Jeremiah Hale[29].
Ptolemy Pool, b. ca. 1802-1804, Grayson Co, VA. He was deceased by 27 October 1828, when his brother Minitree Pool conveyed his right and title to two one-third parts of two tracts of land on Elk Creek and Turkey Fork in Grayson County to Samuel Fulton, executor of the last will and testament of Ptolemy Pool dec’d[30]. His sisters Tempy, Sidney, and Emily Pool conveyed their interests to the lands of Ptolemy Pool to their brother Alfred Pool on 10 February 1831[31]. At Grayson Court on 24 February 1851, Moses Pierce and wife Betsy, Andrew Vaught and wife Sidney, Stephen Catron and wife Emily, Richard Kirk and wife Celia, and Henry Perry and wife Senia ordered Samuel Fulton to appear at the next court to produce the unrecorded will of Ptolemy Pool dec’d, which they believed was in his possession[32]. It is not believed that Ptolemy married or had any heirs due to an absence of a marriage record in his name, or any heirs; his siblings have been identified as his heirs through deeds. It is not entirely understood why Senia (Pool) Perry or Celia (Pool) Kirk were made parties to the deed, but as will be explained in the section below, it appears they were siblings of Ptolemy through an unknown father. The will of Ptolemy Pool has not been located, so it is possible, if they were not siblings of Ptolemy, they may have been minor heirs of Ptolemy Pool. No guardianship is referenced in Grayson County records, however, so it is unknown which relationship they may have to him.
Temperance “Tempy” Pool, b. ca. 1805-1807, Grayson Co, VA, d. between 19 February 1846 and 8 November 1848 in Grayson Co, VA[33]. She married (as his first wife) John Comer on 3 October 1835 in Grayson Co, VA[34].
Alphea Pool, who must have been born ca. 1807-1809 in Grayson Co, VA, and d. post November 1822, Grayson Co, VA. There has been no additional information found on Alphea since.
Sidney Pool, b. ca. 1809, Grayson Co, VA, d. 10 March 1889, Grayson Co, VA. She married Andrew Vaught on 15 July 1832 in Grayson Co, VA[35]. She (and husband Andrew Vaught) and her siblings brought application against Samuel Fulton in Grayson Court on 24 February 1851 to have Fulton produce the copy of the will of Ptolemy Pool dec’d[36].
Emily B. Pool, b. 12 March 1812, Grayson Co, VA, d. 2 April 1889, Menifee Co, KY[37]. She married Stephen Catron on 20 October 1834 in Grayson Co, VA[38]. She (and husband Stephen Catron) and her siblings brought application against Samuel Fulton in Grayson Court on 24 February 1851 to have Fulton produce the copy of the will of Ptolemy Pool dec’d[39].
Alfred Pool, b. ca. 1813, Grayson Co, VA, d. 18 May 1886, Spotsylvania Co, VA. His first wife was a Roberta C. King, while his second wife was Nanny King.
Unexplained Children of Mary Pool:
The 1851 application of Moses Pierce and wife Betsy, Andrew Vaught and wife Sidney, and Stephen Catron and wife Emily forced Samuel Fulton to appear in court to produce the will of Ptolemy Pool dec’d. It is clear from several deeds that Betsy (Elizabeth), Sidney, and Emily were all Pool sisters, daughters of Edward and Mary Pool. However, all aforesaid transactions fail to mention a Sena (Cenia) Pool and Celia Pool. These two Pool children are proven to be children of Mary Pool by two means:
The aforesaid Betsy, Sidney, and Emily are already established to be Mary Pool’s children. If Celia (Pool) Kirk and her husband Richard Kirk, and Senia (Pool) Perry and husband Henry Perry had an interest in producing the will of Ptolemy Pool dec’d, they must have been legal heirs of Ptolemy Pool dec’d. Again, the will of Ptolemy Pool has not been found at this time, so we cannot ascertain the exact relationships other than the 1831 deed, which identified four sisters of Ptolemy Pool dec’d as his heirs by way of his last will and testament. It would seem, then, that Celia and Senia were his sisters as well.
If they were children of Ptolemy Pool, then there was no proof of guardianship found in Grayson County records. This lack of documentation makes proving their parents difficult.
There has been no marriage return found for Celia Pool to her husband Richard Kirk. This return apparently has been lost. However, the marriage bond of Henry Perry to Cenia Pool, dated 4 March 1837, shows that Cena was the daughter of Mary Pool, and on the same date, Mary Pool had granted Cenia permission to marry Henry Perry[40]. The marriage return states that they were married by Rev. William Burgess on 15 March 1837. The marriage bond for Sealy Pool to Richard Kirk was dated 7 January 1839, with Stephen Catron as surety[41]. Without a return to prove the link, the appearance of Stephen Catron, probably the same who was husband of Emily Pool, would provide a clue as to a close relationship.
The mystery in these relationships is that these girls were born several years after it is believed that Edward Pool was deceased. The last official mention of Edward Pool in Grayson County is the 1810 personal property tax list. From 1810-1817, there is no trace of the family until Polly Pool is taxed in 1817. However, Mary Pool is shown purchasing land on Elk Creek from Martin Dickenson, as previously mentioned, in July 1813. Therefore, it would seem that Edward Pool died prior to July 1813, since Mary could not have purchased land in her own right as a married woman. Cenia Pool Perry is established to be the eldest of these two “other” daughters, her date of birth consistently shown as 1818 through age estimates in census records; the 1900 Census establishes her birth in March 1818[42]. Celia Pool Kirk was born in about 1819, as given by her age in the 1850 Census in Smyth County, Virginia[43], and her death record in that county on 7 September 1854[44]. While there appears to be a definite link to Mary Jones Pool, the father is unknown at this time, and it is very possible (and not uncommon) that Mary may have had these two daughters out of wedlock. This may also explain why Celia and Cenia are not mentioned in the November 1822 deed of Polly Pool and her heirs, since many of her legal heirs were still in their minority at the time. They may not have been legal heirs; however, the will of Ptolemy Pool dec’d may have recognized them as rightful heirs to Ptolemy’s estate, thus their interest in producing his will in 1851[45].
The other two heirs of Mary Pool, whether children or grandchildren, are:
Senia Pool, b. March 1818, Grayson Co, VA, d. post 1900, Richland Twp., Grant Co, IN. She married Henry N. Perry on 15 March 1837 in Grayson Co, VA. Although their names are appended to the 1851 court bill against Samuel Fulton, Henry and Senia Perry were residents of Waltz Twp, Wabash Co, IN, as of 1850[46], and their representation must have been by power of attorney.
Celia Pool, b. ca. 1819, Grayson Co, VA, d. 7 September 1854, Smyth Co, VA. She married Richard Kirk by a bond dated 7 January 1839 in Grayson Co, VA. They resided in Smyth Co, VA, where they had four children by the time of the 1850 Census.

As of June 1959, when the book was abstracted by the owner, it was in the ownership of Fred K. Jones, of Fries, Virginia, and great-grandson of the original owner.

In addition to this petition was four additional lists with similar context within the message of the first petition, but signed by four different groups of citizens from Lancaster County, all requesting the same action. The first petition was signed by Minitree Jones, Richard Ball, John Taylor, Samuel Kent, Joseph Hubbard, and two others. On 28 November 1777, the papers were referred to the Committee of Religion, who, on December 5th, “recommends it as reasonable and is directed to prepare a bill.” On 12 December 1777, the said bill was presented in the legislature, and was passed on December 30th. The Senate passed the bill on 5 January 1778 (this can be found in William Waller Hening’s The Statutes at Large: Being a Collection of All The Laws of Virginia, from the First Session of the Legislature in the Year 1619…, vol 9, p 439).

[17] It should be known that there is no recorded copy of a will of Ptolemy Pool in Grayson County. If his will still exists, it exists in loose form. The will was certainly not recorded for a while if it was, since in Grayson County Court on 24 February 1851, Samuel Fulton was ordered by the heirs of Ptolemy Pool dec’d to appear in court and produce the will of Ptolemy Pool dec’d, which was believed to be in his possession, and show cause if any as to why he could not do the same (Grayson Co, VA Order Book 1844-1854, p 508).

This is amazing work! I appreciate all the effort you’ve put into this (and all the time you are saving me from going down the same paths). Mary Polly Jones an Edward Poole are my 5x great grand parents and you’ve confirmed my frustrations in not finding the documentation I’ve been searching for. 🙂 Thanks!(?) -B
