Poole Manuscript -- Pages 1-25 (and see below)
A brief description of the Poole manuscript and where it is located may be found on my post called, "Manuscripts at the New England Historic Genealogical Society." The below was typed by Barry Briggs. (He wrote me because his wife has the Poole line. I told him about this manuscript so had the knowledge and time to type it up, and connect the pages with links to the original page. Many years later, he had a computer problem, so you can't see the original pages.) The first 25 pages out of 257 pages are shown here, other pages to follow in the future.
This was written by Charles H. Poole. The manuscript resides at the New England Historic Genealogical Society at 99 Newbury Street, Boston. The document is in fragile shape and only available through the efforts of Barbara Poole. It was transcribed by Barry Briggs. My (Barry's) notes are in brackets: [].
The front cover is simply POOLE printed by hand with the date Dec 27 1945 stamped in the upper right corner. The Endpaper has a New England Historic Genealogical Society sticker crediting donation by William P. Greenlaw of Winthrop, Massachusetts, February 14, 1916, and “Property of Society Dec. 27, 1945 on the death of Mr. Greenlaw”.
[ This was originally written by Charles H. Poole about 1876 (see page 134). Charles Henry Poole was born Dec. 12, 1835 died ???]
