I'm looking for any information about CARRY (CAREY or KERRY) POOL(E) (born abt 1844-47 in Ohio), his wife RHODA SIMONS/RICHARDSON (born abt 1857 in Ontario) and/or any of their children listed below. The family moved from Chatham, Kent Co., Ontario where Carey farmed to Kalamazoo Co. sometime @1882. I've been able to identify a few of their children in Kalamazoo Co. as late as 1903 but I can't locate any of the family in the US Census after 1900. Their children are:
1. JOSEPH A. POOL(E) born abt 1870 in Ontario;
2. MARY JANE POOL(E) born abt 1871 in Ontario; married WILLIAM FRANKLIN in 1903 in Kalamazoo;
3. JOHN T. POOL(E) born abt 1874 in Ontario; married ADELLA (DELLA) WHALING in 1894 in Kalamazoo; moved to Dorr, Allegan Co. by 1900; they had a son LOYD POOL(E) born in 1895;
4. WILLIAM H. POOL(E) born abt 1876 in Ontario;
5. MINNIE F. POOL(E) born abt 1878 in Ontario; married NIELS SORENSON in 1896 in Kalamazoo; &
6. MARTHA JANE POOL(E) born abt 1879-82 in Ontario; she had a son going by the name of ALBA POOL(E) as of the 1900 MI Census but I believe she was married at least 3 times to UNKNOWN ANDERSON; GEORGE MALLORY & ARTHUR MAHONEY (married in 1920 in Van Buren Co.). I think Martha's son ALBA went by the name of ALBA MALLORY in later years and married a NELLIE GOENS of Decatur, MI.
I'm hoping to pin down some death dates so that I can find obits for any of the family members. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
