In May 2004, I made this posting:
I believe Doug's new book (RPA) states that William1 Pole or Poole of
Taunton, Mass., married Jane, sister of John Greene of Milton,
Somerset.
I wonder if she wouldn't be the Jane Greene, dau. of John and Sicile
(Walrond) Greene of Milton, who was aged 7 in the 1623 Somerset
Visitation. See
This lady would have been much younger than her husband, William Poole,
but the birth years of their children (1639-60) would seem to require
this. See
William and Jane (Greene) Poole are ancestors #1820 and 1821 in the
ancestor table of John Kerry. See
********
Reitwiesner's ancestor table has #1821 as Mary ----, apparently
following the name given in Gary Boyd Roberts' _Royal Descents of 600
Immigrants_. Doug's book, however, lists her as Jane Greene, sister of
John Greene of Milton, Somersetshire, and this is clear from and entry
concerning the Pooles found in Aspinwall's notebook, I believe:
Also note that Mrs. Katherine Northcote made mention in her 1685 will
of "my dear kinswoman, Mrs. Jane Poole in Boston in New England."
The 1677 will of Rev. Theophilus Gale, moreover, had mentioned his
"sister Mrs. Katherine Northcott" ...
and I was also aware that William and Jane Poole/ Pole had a son
Theophilus born at Dorchester in New England:
(The library of Rev. Gale eventually made its way to Harvard College
[see note at the end of his will]).
It all fits together quite nicely when we learn that Theophilus Gale
was born in 1628 at King's Teignton, Devonshire, son of an earlier
Theophilus Gale:
I can't do any searches currently on the LDS website due to "website
maintenance," but I checked earlier, and at some location in Devonshire
we find extracted records for:
1602 Marriage of John Greene and --- Walrond [remember the Visitation
pedigree showed John Greene of Milton, Somerset, married to Cecily
Walrond]
1622 Marriage of Theophilus Gale to Bridget Walrond
At a separate location in Devonshire, we find an extracted record for
the 1647 marriage of Katherine Gale to Henry Northcott.
I think these facts together almost certainly prove the ancestry of
Mrs. Jane Poole of New England.
