458. Townsend Poole-3409
From Joyce Poole:
Married Euphemia DeVoe, her parents noted as: John DeVoe and Mary Debevois
per data in www.antonymaitland.com/poole001.htm accessed 2-27-05 (See list of Sources utilized by Antony Maitland site)
The Maitland data shows place of birth for Townsend et al to be 'High Bridge, NY'. I have shown 'Hempstead, NY, as that was location where his parents, Solomon and Letitia were married.
Euphemia 'Effe' Devoe-Devou-De Bevoise-3414

The personal Will of Pearcy Poole was copied and read from the LDS archive files for Wills for Chenango County, New York, and the names of his children are listed as stated in the Will, not necessarily in birth order. It is 'believed' that "Betscy" is probably the same as "Elizabeth", as I have Elizabeth (Poole) Stowell and her family noted in Federal Census living next to her two brothers. In the probate of the Will, 'Elizabeth" is named, but not a 'Betsy'. Only Bdates of James and Elizabeth are known at time of this writing (3-22-05), per Alfred M. Poole Family Bible; Jackson W. birthyear is based on his age noted the the Federal Census. Wife of Pearcy was only identified as "Mary" in his Will. Her maiden surname is still under research for confirmation. LDS sites show her as Mary Smith.
Pearcy Poole's Last Will and Testament was created December 5, 1836 in the Town and County of Westchester, New York and proofed the 2nd day of July, 1845 in the village of Norwich in the County of Chenango, state of New York, pages 472-475."
From Poole researcher: "Some sources from the LDS church have Mary's surname as 'SMITH'; however, William DeCoursey states her surname to be WATERS. Birth about 1784, New York. Her surname must yet be confirmed.

1028. Effa 'Effe' Poole-3429
From Poole researcher: "Effy is identified as 'Effy Weeks' in the probate of her father Pierce's Will. In the Fordham Dutch Reformed Church registers, records a marriage of William Weeks to Effe Pool[e] on November 1, 1820."
1029. James Poole-3421
From Poole researcher:
"Certain sources have guessed his father to be Pierce/Pearce Poole (who was a brother to Jackson and Townsend Poole). Confirmation of James' father as Pearcy Poole was confirmed in the Will of Pearcy Poole, naming his children and his wife's name as 'Mary' (no surname confirmed for her to date, but several sources note it to be "Smith"). Pearcy Poole's Last Will and Testament was created December 5, 1836 in the Town and County of Westchester, New York and proofed the 2nd day of July, 1845 in the village of Norwich in the County of Chenango, state of New York, pages 472-475.The Last Will and Testament of James Poole was proved August 2, 1881, in the town of Afton, County of Chenango, State of New York, Page 25, Volume W. Living children named in the will were: Mary Elizabeth, William Henry, Lewis J.(Jackson?), Ellen A. (McMasters), and Alfred Melvin Poole. Isaac Poole died Jan. 7, 1870-71, and James E. Poole died Oct. 1, 1852, per the data in the Alfred M. Poole family Bible.
Federal Census records dated 1840, 1850 and 1860 for Town of Bainbridge, Chenango County, State of New York are another primary source for identifying the location and family of James Poole, as well as Jackson Poole and other family members all living in the same area.
It is noted in Antony Maitland/Herbert A. Poole's genealogy research that Mary T. is the daughter of Jackson and she married a "James" Poole. James' father/mother were not identified in their report. That Mary is the daughter of Jackson Poole was confirmed in his Will."
From Poole researcher:
"Mary is a cousin of James', which it seems was very common for cousins to marry in this era. Her father is Jackson Poole, as confirmed in his Will. Jackson was a son of Solomon Poole(1), and brother to Townsend Poole, and Pearcy (Pearce, Pierce) Poole, and their sisters Mary Poole (Corsa) and Elizabeth Poole (Archer). This data comes from extensive research by Antony Maitland family on the Poole family; our own family Bible of Alfred M. Poole, and other confirming research.Mary's middle initial was originally thought to be an "I", but in the Mills Co. Iowa marriage records of Alfred M. Poole, it is stated as a "T". The "I" probably a mis-reading of the script handwriting in our Bible and of the era. The "T" possibly stands for "Townsend" which was Letitia Jackson's mother's maiden name (ie, Mary Townsend).
The Fordham Dutch Reformed Church, NY, shows Mary as a daughter to Jackson Pool[e] and wife, born April 14, 1815 and baptism on October 1, 1815.
Mary's name and birthdate, etc. also shown in Alfred Poole family Bible."
1032. Hannah Poole-3424
From Poole researcher: "In the probate of her father's Will, Hanna is identified as 'Hanna Mapes'. Husband's first name unknown at this time."

From Poole researcher: "Letitia is identified as 'Letitia Searing' in the probate of her father's Will."

From Poole researcher: "Mary is identified as 'Mary Weeks' in the probate of her father's Will. Her husband's first name is not known by me at this time. 7-10-05."
460. Jackson Poole-3411
From Poole researcher:
"It is noted in Antony Maitland/Herbert A. Poole's genealogy research that Mary T. is the daughter of Jackson and she married a "James" Poole - James' father/mother were not identified in their report. That Mary is the daughter of Jackson Poole was confirmed in Jackson Poole's Will.In April 2005, I (Poole researcher) confirmed that James Poole (married to Mary Poole) was a son of Pearcy Poole, by means of the Will of Pearcy Poole. James married his Uncle Jackson's daughter "Mary", thus his cousin.
The wife of Jackson Poole is Mary Eleanor (Corsa), who is a sister to Andrew Corsa*. Andrew served under George Washington in the Revolutionary War. See her lineage for notes.
Marriage of Jackson Poole to Mary Corsa is noted in Alfred M. Poole's family Bible, as well as many members of the Poole family and their spouses.
Birth and death dates of Jackson's children and wife are identified in Alfred M. Poole's family Bible.
There is still ongoing research to confirm that "Mary Corsa\r" was either the daughter of ANDREW CORSA and HELENA BUSSING; 'or' was she the SISTER of Andrew Corsa??? Many conflicting reports. At this time, Mary Corsa is noted as the SISTER to Andrew, pending confirming data otherwise."
Jane Kimble's note: Jackson's children were born in Morrisania so that must have been his place of residence and he may have died there.
Quote from Poole researcher:
"Alfred Poole Family Bible states Mary Corsa(r) and Jackson Poole were husband and wife, married November 12, 1808. Her birthdate and death are also noted in the Family Bible, as well as the children they had.A question arises based on conflicting information from William DeCoursey published data seen on the LDS Pedigree Resource Files, Disc.18, accessed 6-14-05. Under issue for Isaac Corsa/Mary Gibb Corsa, he identifies 'Mary Corsa' as their daughter and she is married to Jackson Poole. He has no birth dates for Mary. In a second Decoursey report regarding the Andrew Corsa marriage to Hanna Bussing (as a 1st marriage), he states issue were a Mary Corsa and an Isaac Corsa. The birthdate given for Mary is matching to that seen in the Alfred Poole Family Bible. How can these discrepencies be rectified and proven? I have emailed Mr. DeCoursey with these questions (5-05). No reply as of this time (6-15-05). For now, I will leave 'Mary Corsa' as the sister of Andrew Corsa, not his daughter.
Mary is the sister* to Andrew Corsa, identified below. A Brother of Jackson Poole, named 'Solomon'(2) (father Solomon(1)), married Deborah Corsa, a daughter of Andrew and Mary Poole. (List of Andrew and Mary Poole Corsa issue was stated in the Westchester County Historical Society's publication, "Westchester Historian", Summer 1996. Vol. 72 Iss. 3)
Andrew CORSA, son of Isaac and Mary (GIBB) CORSA, was born, 24 Jan 1762, d. 21 Nov 1852. He married first, 1792, to Mary POOLE, and he married second to Helena BUSSING. His obituary in 1852 states "both his father and grandfather were natives of the same place as himself. The latter was born in 1692 about the time of Gov. Fletcher's arrival in the colony, after whom he was named Benjamin Fletcher CORSZEN." See William S. Hadaway, McDONALD PAPERS, pt.II (1927), p.73. French's HISTORY OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY (1927), v.5; James Riker, REVISED HISTORY OF HARLEM (1904), p.488.
http://www.teachout.org/du/decoursey1750.html (Accessed 3-9-05)ANDREW CORSA
Andrew Corsa grew up on a farm where Fordham University stands today. Although his father was a Tory during the American Revolution, when this 19 year-old was asked by George Washington and the Comte de Rochambeau to guide them and 5,000 American and French troops to Morrisania to survey British fortifications on Manhattan, he readily agreed. On July 20, 1781, he led them on the Grand Reconnaissance, sometimes dodging cannonballs, and led them back. Corsa Avenue is named after his family.
http://bronxcountyclerksoffice.com/en/history/chronology.htm (Accessed 5-15-05)The name "Corsa" is spelled multiple ways in records: Corsa, Corsar, Corszen, Coursa, DeCoursey, etc. Certain Versions used during war time or other locations became "Reeser", "Racer", to Anglicize their name. Because of the hostilities of the Indians and the French leading up to the colonial wars of 1753-1763, it probably was not advisable in the Colonies to have a French sounding name; hence Teunis CORSI (Dennis DeCOURSEY) often used the anglicized version of his name "REESER". Note that the French "COURSIER" pronounced "Coursay" is translated to "RACER" in English; also "STAM" in Dutch as it was used by some of the early deCOURCY's in Holland and New Amsterdam. Several RACER descendants in Ohio, WV, and elsewhere are aware of their DeCOURSEY heritage. See GRACE RACER GENEALOGY, Campus Maritus Library, Marietta, Ohio; Marrietta Chapter DAR, EARLY BIBLE RECORDS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, OHIO (Marietta, Ohio, 1940), p.115.

From Poole researcher:
"Samuel J. Poole is listed in the Alfred Poole Family Bible records as the son of Jackson and Mary (Corsar) Poole.
The Fordham Dutch Reformed Church, NY Register shows Samuel Jackson, son of Jackson Pool[e} and wife Mary Corsa was born September 22, 1830 and baptised September 11, 1831. His sponsor was James Corsa."
461. Mary Poole-3412
From Poole researcher:
"Mary Poole married Andrew Corsa, a recognized Revolutionary War participant. See notes under Andrew Corsa.At the time of this writing (June 2005) there is still confusion as to 'which sequence' of wife Mary Poole was to Andrew. She is noted to have 10 issue by Andrew.
Research by William DeCoursey (http://www.angelfire.com/mn/itsabouttime) states his first wife's (Helena Bussing) death was Dec. 27, 1787. and Andrew's marriage to Mary Poole as being Oct. 12, 1792. Their first child being born in 1793 and onward. Other published data also by Mr. DeCoursey states 'Mary Poole' as being Andrew Corsa's first wife. If, in fact, Helena Bussing is proven to have died in 1787, and record of two children for her and Andrew are proven, then Mary Poole would logically be wife number two based on the ages of their children, etc.
Other recognized sources (Westchester Historical Society) have stated Mary was Andrew's first wife and Helena Bussing his second wife. Research underway to try to clear up the discrepencies."
From Poole researcher:
"Andrew CORSA, son of Isaac and Mary (GIBB) CORSA, was born, 24 Jan 1762, d. 21 Nov 1852. He married first, 1792, to Mary POOLE, and he married second to Helena BUSSING.

French's HISTORY OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY (1927), v.5; James Riker, REVISED HISTORY OF HARLEM (1904), p.488.General HEATH, in Jan 1777, organized a militia group in Westchester county. "The English depended upon Tories who had joined them, while the Americans had a regular body of guides many of whom became deservedly famous, not only for their knowledge of the land, but for their skill and daring in the fights which occurred when the rival parties met. The services of these 'Westchester Guides' were so important that their names deserve to be recorded. They were Abraham and Michael DYCKMAN of Kingbridge, Isaac and Cornelius OAKLEY of Westchester; the three brothers John, Abraham and Isaac ODELL of Greenburgh; Isaac or 'UK' ODELL and Martin POST of Yonkers; the brothers John and Peter PYNE from the country along the Croton; Samuel YOUNGS and John McCHAIN of the Manor of Philipsburgh; David HUNT of Westchester; William GREENE of Lower Yonkers and William N. DYCKMAN. To these names may be added Andrew CORSA who on account of his youth only acted on two or three important occasions during the later years of the war." Note that some of the close relatives of the CORSA and VERMILYEA family served in this Militia. Isaac ODELL had married Hannah VERMILYEA, a half-sister of Thuenis CORSA (Dennis DeCOURSEY). Two other half-siblings had married DYCKMANs. Andrew CORSA was a cousin, the son of Isaac CORSA and Mary GIBB. Otto Huffland, WESTCHESTER COUNTY DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION (1926), p.207-208.

466. Obadiah Jackson-975
Obadiah was named for his grandfather, his mother's father.
He was found in the 1840 Census for Flushing, Queens Co., New York.
He was found in the 1850 Census for North Hempstead, Queens Co., New York. He was living in a large household headed by William Hicks. Within the household were Obadiah 66, Mary E. 24, Sarah E. 16 and Ruth Jackson 65; all born in New York. I first thought Ruth Jackson 65 was Obadiah's sister but that Ruth had married Thomas Jones in 1802 and died in 1807. So I don't know who this Ruth was. Note also that Sarah, Obadiah's wife did not died until 1858 but she was not listed on this 1850 Census. Sarah E 16, is probably a wrong middle initial. In this large household, it is likely that whoever gave the enumerator the info was not Obadiah himself.It is interesting that one of Obadiah's grandsons was named William Hicks Jackson so there is a definite connection to the above Hicks family.

I found Sarah Hewlett Jackson on rootsweb listed under "Sarah J. Boerem and Obedia Jackson" by a Hayden researcher.
In Bunker's book Nehemiah's name is spelled Haydon, but I found him on rootsweb in a site named Hayden Family of Essex, CT.
From Wantagh Cem website: The only authenticated burial of a Revolutionary War soldier in the cemetery is that of Thomas JACKSON, who served in the 4th Line and the Second New York Regiment. Just before the Battle of Long Island, he received bounty money for his men to guard the stock of Queens County so that the British, who were about to invade & occupy Long Island, would not capture & slaughter the stock. He was also engaged in the capture of Fort St. George on November 30, 1780. Jackson was born in 1754 & died in 1842. He owned the property where the Wantagh Public Library now stands & lived on the east side of the Jerusalem River.
477. General Jacob Seaman Jackson-963
Major Jacob Seaman Jackson took oath of allegiance to the U.S. in 1790.
From Jones Family Book, pg 133: "By the death of an older brother [name not known] this Jacob S. Jackson, b 1763, became the only son and heir, and succeeded to his father's estate. . . He became a Major, in 1789, of one of the Queens Co. regiments (Council of Appointment, Vol. 1, p. 169), and Brig. General in 1808 (ibid, Vol. II., p. 1019)."
From Wantagh Cemetery website: Most famous of those buried in the cemetery is General Jacob Seaman JACKSON, who served in the War of 1812 as a Brigadier General.
1079. Thomas Jones Jackson-966
Jacob Seaman Jackson's oldest son (Thomas) died and Jacob's two daughters, who successively married Thomas Jones, became Jacob's only heirs at law. Therefore Thomas died before his father died in 1828.
Later found the tombstone transcription recorded in "The Record" : "Thomas Jones Jackson, son of Col. Jacob S. Jackson, died Oct. 11, 1802. Aged 11 years 18 days."
478. John Jackson V-941
John's children were listed as nieces and nephews of Samuel Jackson in the June 1832 administration papers of Samuel's estate. Frank Jackson's records lists John's birth and death dates as ca 1765 - ca 1830. Frank has also contributed all the following notes about John:
John Jackson is described by Henry Reed Stiles :" Mr. Jackson is described by those who knew him, as a large man of coarse features and florid complexion, loud spoken, energetic in his movements, and an ardent politician. His domestic relations were notoriously unhappy; and he was always involved in petty law difficulties, owing to his reluctance to pay his debts, without being obliged, as he feliciitously expressed it ‘to take a receipt, according to law, on the back of a constable’s execution.’ " (Stiles , Civil, Political...p. 178)
John Jackson was a native of Jerusalem, Queens Co., LI whence he removed with his brothers Samuel and Treadwell, to the village of Brooklyn, shortly after the close of the Revolution "where “they soon purchased large estates...". (Samuel never married and Tredwell died in 1799.) About 1791 John purchased the Remsen Estate-30 acres of land and 35 acres of ponds for $17,000. In 23 Feb 1801 he sold 40 acres of it to the US government for $40,000 and later sold lots on the remaining land to immigrants from Ireland on a spot called Vinegar Hill. A John Jackson, probably this one, is listed in the 1800 US Census as head of household with two males between 26 and 45 and 2 ten years and younger; also two females between 10 and 16 and one between 26 and 45; also one as "other" free person and 4 slaves. The Brooklyn City Directory lists him as living near the Jamaica toll road between 1802 and 1826. He may have had a commerical interest in the road.
(Henry Reed Stiles, Account of the Internment of the Remains of American patriots who Perished on Board the British Prison Ships During the American Revolution. Privately Printed: NY. 1865. A rare book housed in the New York State Library in Albany, NY)
John Jackson, merchant, is listed in the 1802/03 Brooklyn City Directory, as living 1 and 1/2 miles from the ferry. He is listed in the 1822-26 Brooklyn City Directories as living near the Jamaica toll gate. He is not listed in 1829.
Letters of Administration were filed for a John Jackson, possibly this one, in Kings County, NY on
14 July 1828. (Liber 3:104. Bonds Liber 1:21) A will was filed for a John E. Jackson in Kings County on 29 May 1832 and probated 8 October 1832 and recorded in Libers 4 page 193 and 5 page 170. Unfortunately all the bound volumes of letters of administration in Kings County before 1900 have gone missing.
No other record of John's wife can be found except this reference to Sarah Udall by Mary Powell Bunker and repeated by William Robbins in his article on the Tredwells in NYG&BS. But I did find the following comment which brings up the possibility that she was instead Sarah Woodhull. There were a lot of Woodhull's in the area, but again, no reference to a Sarah Woodhull married to John Jackson.
"Refugees from Long Island" p 9: (part of the introduction) "His was not the only family in which the name was spelled variously [Baines/Baynes]; sometimes by the individual, more often by the one recording it. Thus we have: Curwin, for Corwin; Hoel, for Howell; Udall and Woodle, for Woodhull; Hulse, for Halsey; Parsons, for Pierson; Cupper, for Cooper; and Tillenness, for Tillinghast. . ."
Based on the above quote, Bob Mitchell has concluded:
"Sarah is referred to in many genealogies as Sarah Udall. Based upon the above, I believe her name to be Woodhull and a descendant of Richard Woodhull who migrated from England in 1648 and settled in the Dutch Colony in what is now New York a few years later."Richard Woodhull was the progenitor of the family in America. He was born at Thenford, Northamptonshire England September 13, 1620, according to the most reliable search and record. He arrived in this country prior to April 29, 1648, when he wrote his name as witness to a deed at Easthampton Long Island which would place him among the earliest settlers of that locality. He was first at Jamacia but having a dislike for the Dutch government and finding himself to close to the seat of administration, he removed to another part and settled permanently at Setauket Harbor, then known as Cromwell Bay or Ashford."
Any confirming information, would certainly be appreciated.
