BREAKTHROUGH: Could John POOLE the miller come from the miller family in Quidhampton?

Nicholas POOLE, a fulling miller, 1577

In Quidhampton, Mill, Wiltshire – abt 45 mis west of Reading

[source: index collected and maintained by Tom Hine, about 70s yrs old, of Berks FHS; Gillian Stevens called Tom Hine, and he checked his database and called Gillian back this very night- his database is just on Mills and Millers- this Nicholas was his only entry with a POOL surname] [Dee’s Note that this Wiltshire may be a clue—see POOLE article re Gloucester and Wiltshire from Brit Lib]

Minutes of Proceedings in Sessions, 1563, “Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural Hist Soc” Records Branch, Vol IV, For the Year 1948”

Section entitled “Survey of the Poor in St. Martin’s Parish c1635.” – [St Martin’s Parish is on southwest part of Salisbury, as per Gillian Stevens, the granddaughter of Miss BLOFIELD or BLOFELD (who became her grandmother)—Gillian runs the BLOFIELD/BLOFELD/BLAUVELT DNA project, www.familytreedna.com

I explained to Gillian to add the Blauvelts to her Blofelds—and Dutch leanings re NJ lines

Many entries in this bk—lack time to get them all—

[Wiltshire Co Rec, Min of Sessions]

1591- Henry Poole, with an Ed LUDLOWE—judges, etc.

pg. 33- Pro pace. Thomas POOLE of Lydearde Millicent, yeoman, bound in Iol, and his sureties, Henry WODROFF of Lyman and Thomas MORREYS of Pewsey, et al [citing to pg 106, Epiphany Sessions 1578]

pg 138- Henry POOLE, esquire [citing to pg 288, Michaelmas Sessions 1590]

pg 138, William POOLE, lawsuit—also mentions John Smyth of Staunton Barnard—this under sect St Thomas Sessions 1590--

On pg 81, page ent The Poor—a Stephen POOLE with 2 children—living on Ivey Street [book entitled Poverty in Early-Stuart Salisbury, by Paul Slack, Devizes, 1975

24 March 2009- Back at Berks FHS—the kind lady (Jocie McBride) who is doing the arduous transcribing of St. Lawrence, Reading ENG baptismal records, allowed me to peruse her working draft of her initial transcriptions for the baptisms c1595-1612—during that perusal, with both of us looking at each name on the screen, not a single POOLE, POOL, de la POLE emerged. So this church, St. Lawrence, will be concluded as not a viable candidate for the parents of John POOL (b. c. 1609) and presumably baptized. At the point that she concludes her work, a CD of this church will become available for purchase as well…

This same volunteer, Mrs. Jocie McBride, who explained that St. Giles was a working man’s church—and so the POOLE family there were most likely hard laborers, on the “blue collar” side- So the laborers workshipping there were definitely not monied, or “wealthy” so this information renders it unlikely that John Pool, miller, who apparently possessed both servants and money in Massachusettes would have worshipped at St. Giles parish, Reading, Berkshire, ENG.

On pg 160, page entitled The Churchwardens Accounts, Edward POOLE and Robert JAMES are listed as Surveyours of the highways; the date is 1639-1640, while the other names listed are Walter FELLOW and Wm GANDY (churchwardens), et al. [a book, The Churchwardens’ Accounts of the Parish of St. Mary’s, Reading, Berks, 1550-1662. Transcribed by Francis N.A. Garry, M.A. and A.G. GARRY. Reading: Printed by Edw J Blackwell, London St. 1893.]
