Note: The following is a section of a family history compiled by Herbert Armstrong Poole between 1905 & 1960, transcribed by AAA Maitland 1998. Subject numbers are HAP's originals. HAP's page divisions are shown: after subject page numbers are complete document page numbers in brackets and issue dates. The original text had generations indented in turn: here, generation numbers are added to each individual: the children of the title subject are "1/--". Subject 64-A. P1 2/2/51 (161) SOLOMON POOLE. Was the second son of Pierce and Mary (---) Poole of Hempstead, L.I.,(see subject 64.) and brother of our ancestor, James Poole, subject 32. Solomon Poole's birth and death dates are not known, but he was probably born between 1730 and 1735 at Hempstead, and died at Morrisania, now called Fordham) in Westchester County, New York. He was probably buried at West Farms Cemetery there, but this cemetery has been obliterated in the construction of Southern Boulevard: the grave stones have been lost, and none of the cemetery records recorded anywhere. Solomon was living in Hempstead in 1771, when his ear mark was registered, and he was probably still living there in 1787 when his youngest daughter Elizabeth was baptized at St. George's Church. He must have moved to Morrisania before 1790, as the First U.S.A. Census of that year, printed by the Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., stated that Solomon was a resident of Westchester Township, and that his household consisted of three males over 16 years of age, three under 16, three females (ages not given), and one negro slave. The Census of 1800 in the District of Morrisania, gave Solomon's family as consisting of himself and his wife, both over 45 years of age, with two sons, one under 10 and one under 16 years of age - no mention of any daughter. Solomon and all his family were members of the Reformed Dutch Church of Fordham, which stood just beside the present Elevated Railway Station at Fordham. Solomon married at Hempstead, on September 8/1766, Letitia Jackson dates of birth and death unknown, but she was still living in 1812, the date of her sister Jemima's will, mentioning her as living in Morrisania. Letitia was the daughter of Samuel and Mary (Townsend) Jackson, see subject 616, page 5 for her ancestry and brothers and sisters. There is a record of a Letitia Poole who married at the Reformed Dutch Church, Flatbush, on February 10/1811, Enoch Sopher. Could this be her second marriage? The following pages show that Solomon Poole's descendants stayed in New York State, many drifted back to Long Island, while the descendants of Solomon Poole's elder brother James Poole, emigrated west, and into many far countries of the world. Issue:- (taken from his will, so may not be in proper order) 1/1. Townsend Poole. The De Vos Genealogy gives his birth as 1766-7, but the family records of William Earle Poole (see below), gives his birth as 1769 at Hempstead, L.I., and his death at Fordham on October 27/1852, over 83 years of age. He married at Trinity Church, New York, on 1 September 26/1789, Euphemia (Effy) Devoe, born at Fordham in 1772, died there November 3/1852, seventh child of John and Maria (De Bevoise) De Voe, and grand daughter of Daniel and Margaret (Colyer) De Voe, and great grand daughter of Frederick and Hester (Tourner) De Voe. Euphemia's father John De Voe, lived in Morrisania and raised products which he shipped by boat to New York. The "Genealogy of the De Voe Family", by Thomas F. De Voe, New York, 1885, states that the De Veaux or De Vos family were Huguenot refugees who fled from France after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, first to Mannheim, Germany, thence to England. The first of the family to come to America, were Mattheus De Vos and his wife, who arrived at New York as early as 1655. The next to arrive, were Nicholas and Daniel De Vos, who came to Now York in 1674, with a son Edmund De Vos. Daniel was the progenitor of all the Devoes in this genealogy.

She married at Fordham, on November 9/1825, Jeremiah Cromwell of West Farms. The "History of Westchester, N.Y.", by the Reverend Robert Bolton, New York, 1905, says Jeremiah was descended from John and Mary Cromwell, the supposed son of Col. John Cromwell, who lived in Westchester Township in 1686: Col. John Cromwell was the son of Sir Oliver Cromwell of England, and a cousin of the renowned Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell, (1599-1658). The Cromwells of Westchester were possessed of considerable property in Harrison, N.Y., their old home- stead being on the south east side of Rye Pond. These Cromwells claim descent from the same parent stock as that of the Lord Protector of England. Subject 64-A. P4 (164) SOLOMON POOLE. Issue:- 3/1. Townsend Poole Cromwell, born at Fordham, September 20/1826, died September 14/1864 in the Confederate prison at Andersonville, Ga., buried in the National Andersonville Cemetery, Grave No. 8695. Like his illustrious ancestor Oliver Cromwell, he was a soldier in the Union Army during the Civil War, a private in Company C, sixth New York Artillery. Andersonville, Sumter County, Georgia, 60 miles southwest of Macon, from November 1863 till the close of the Civil War, was a Confederate Military prison in an open stockade of 26 1/2 acres. The sufferings of the prisoners from congestion, insufficient food, exposure and pollution of the water supply, and disease, were terrible. Of the 49,485 prisoners, about 13,000 died. After the war, the superintendent, Henry Wirz, was tried by a court martial and hanged on November 10/1865. The prisoner's burial ground was made a National Cemetery, and contains 13,737 graves, of which 1040 are marked "unknown". Townsend Poole Cromwell married his cousin, Sarah Weeks, eldest daughter of John and Melicent (Poole) Weeks, see page 6. I have not been able to find the names of their children, if any. 3/2.

I cannot find the name of his wife, nor her birth and death dates. He moved to Monnisania with his parents some time before 1790. The Morrisania Census of 1800 records him as living there with his wife, both over 16 and under 26 years of age, with three daughters under ten years of age. The only records of him are as follows:- He and his father Solomon, witnessed the will of John Devoe, dated November 1/1804, whose wife was Maria Be Bevoise. This will mentioned daughters Effy (Euphemia) who married Pierce's elder brother Townsend Poole: Elizabeth Berrien, Anna Berrien, and Sarah Weeks Devoe. Pierce Poole signed as a witness on December 27/1803, the will of Hezekiah Ward. I am assuming the following were his daughters, whose marriages are recorded at the Dutch Reformed Church, Fordham, as they do not belong to any of Pierce's brothers. He may have had sons born after the Morrisenia Census of 1800. Issue 2/1. Letitia Poole, dates of birth and death unknown, but she was under 10 years of age in 1800. She married at Fordham, on May 13/1828, Elijah Searing. I have not been able to find out anything of them. 2/2. Millicent Poole, dates of birth and death unknown, but she was under 10 years of age in 1800. She married at Fordham, on November 12/1828 John Weeks, born 1805, died 1877, son of John and Sally (Devoe) Weeks. The "Genealogy of George Weekes of Dorchester, Mass by Robert P. Weeks, 1885, page 296, states that John and Millicent (Poole) Weeks lived at Tremont, the Bronx, N.Y., from 1828 to 1854, at East Chester from 1854 to 1865, and gives the names of their children as follows, who lived at Tremont, N.Y. until 1885: no birth or death dates given. Issue: - 3/1. Sarah Weeks.

She married at Fordham, on November 20/1856, her cousin, Townsend Poole, born at Morrisania, April 7/1826, son of Solomon and Deborah (Corsa) Poole, see page 1. I have not found the names of their children, if any. 3/4. Jackson Weeks. 3/5. Elizabeth Weeks. 3/6. John M. Weeks. 3/7. George Augustus Weeks. 3/8. Jennie Weeks. 2/3. Daughter, name, birth and death dates unknown, mentioned in the Morrisania Census of 1800 as one of Pierce Poole's three daughters. 1/3. Mary Poole. Born at Hempstead, L.I., February 10/1777, baptized at St. George's Church, Hempstead, August 9/1783, died at Yonkers, N.Y., January 26/1859, buried in St. John's Cemetery, Yonkers. (This and much of the below is from "Inscriptions in St. John's Cemetery", by Francis F. Spies, Mount Vernon, N.Y., 1927). Mary Poole was brought by her parents to Morrisania (now Westchester) some time before 1790: in 1851 she was recorded as a member of the Dutch Reformed Church at West Farms, Fordham, N.Y. She married at Fordham, (date not given), as his third wife, Andrew Corsa, born at Fordham, January 14/1762, died November 21/1852. He served as a soldier in the Revolution. Andrew was the second son of Isaac and Mary (Gibb) Corsa, and grandson of Benjamin and Jannetje (Reyers) Corsa. Andrew's father Isaac Corsa, (1735-1761), was captain of an expedition of 95 men against the French and Indians in 1755. Andrew's grandfather Benjamin (1692-1772), had his homestead on the grounds of the present Fordham University, and this house was still standing there in 1914, used as an infirmary. Benjamin Corsa's parentage is given in two different versions: one by Cuyler Reynolds in his "History of Southern New York", states that Benjamin's father was Cornelius Corsa, (1645-1692-3), who married Marritje Jacobs Van der Grift. Francis F. Spies, however, states that Benjamin's father was Jan Corszen, baptized at Recife, Brazil, August 1/1649, and that Jan's wife was Metje Gray, daughter of Theunis Gray, and that Jan was the son of Christiaen Janss Corsa and Jennetjen Christiaens of Hollend. I don't know, which is correct. The name Corsa appears in early Dutch records in a variety of forms, such as Corse, Corsa, Corsse, Corssen, and Coursen: the name appears to have been derived from Cornelius, as the Dutch often used many shortenings of names, Cornelius being shortened to Cors. In Westchester County, the family wrote it as Cursa, and the will of Benjamin is recorded under the name of Coursen. The first record of this family in America is of Cornelius Pieterse Vroom Corssen, who married Tryntje Hendricks: he died before 1657, and she married, 2nd, on August 17/1657, Frederick Lubbertse of Brooklyn, N.Y. Andrew Corsa had married, 1st, Helena Bussing, born October 28/1763, date of death unknown, daughter of Peter and Charity (Williams) Bussing. Andrew married, 2nd, Mary Bussing, born January 23/1766, sister of his first wife Helena, date of death unknown. Cuyler Reynolds "History of Southern New York", states that Andrew's first two wives, Helena and Mary Bussing, were daughters of Peter and Susannah (Myer) Bussing: I don't know which is correct. Not knowing the dates of Andrew's three marriages, I give below all his children, for I cannot tell who their mother's were: it is proved and recorded that his sixth to ninth children were by his third wife Mary Poole.
