General Notes: Husband - Zachariah Pool


He was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and in 1812 moved to a farm about one and a half miles southwest of Greensburg. In 1827 he served as tax collector. He was a Democrat, and a member of the Lutheran church.

Early in life he went to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and in 1812 moved thence to Hempfield township, Westmoreland County. His calling was that of a shoemaker, which he followed in connection with farming. Although never an aspirant to office he was elected in 1827 tax collector of Hempfield township. His political principles were those of the Democratic party, and he was a member of the Evangelical Lutheran church.

He died in 1881. [BHCWC, 265 & HWC 1906 II, 172]

He reached the extraordinary age of ninety-seven years, eight months and fifteen days. His descendants were numerous, including, in addition to his fourteen children, one hundred and one grandchildren, one hundred and forty great-grandchildren and nine great-great-grandchildren, in all two hundred and sixty four.
