See subject 8-E for issue and further particulars. Note by Herbert A. Poole, who compiled this Genealogy:- By marrying into the Cheesman family, Samuel Poole seems to have been the first to break away from the farming occupation of his forbears. The Cheesman family, with their Weekes and Townsend forebears, were a more highly educated group and better situated financially, amongst whom were many who had gone out to different parts of the world. Thus Samuel's sons were well educated, wrote beautiful English, and were the first of this Poole family to emigrate West. Subject 8-A. P1 (72) 12/8/1952 MARY ELIZABETH POOLE.

He was a descendant of Richard, (died 1692) and Sarah (Folger) Smith, who settled in Southampton, L.I., in 1642, and who were known as the Bull Rider Smiths of Long Island: this name was given from the fact that Richard was given a tract of land as large as he could ride a bull around it in a certain specified time. James' middle name Parshall was given him after his great grandmother Keziah Parshall: the Parshalls came from Staffordshire, England, in 1642, and settled in Southold, L.I. James and Mary Elizabeth celebrated their sixty fifth wedding anniversary, the occasion being attended by a great number of their relatives and friends. I have a copy of the chart of the ancestors of James Parshall Smith. James came to live at Lakeville until he went to Allaire, N.J., near Red Bank, where he was associated with James P. Allaire, after whom this town was named, in the iron industry. Allaire is in Monmouth County, where the iron deposits had been worked since 1670, around Shrewsbury: in 1925 the output of iron had dwindled to 165,000 tons, valued at $578,000. James eventually returned to Lakeville to farm the land his uncle Ebenezer Smith had left him: Ebenezer was a carpenter and builder, and in 1947 his house was still standing in a plot of many acres now in the possession of the Milburn family, polo players.

Was born at Herricks, L.I., September 7/1810, and died at his home, 198 Seventeenth Street, Buffalo, N.Y., October 14/1885, of apoplexy. He was the third child of Samuel and Sarah (Cheesman) Poole, see subject 8. He married at Annsville, le Roy, Oneida County, N.Y., on April 13/1837, Martha Fitch, born February 4/1818, died at Buffalo, June 10/1903, daughter of Benjamin and Phebe (Brown) Fitch of Le Roy. I quote from the Buffalo Historical Society's Register as follows: "The name of Rushmore Poole is closely associated with the social and business history of early Buffalo. At the age of fifteen years, he was sent to Buffalo to learn the crockery business in a store which New York relatives had established there, and the first of its kind,in these western wilds. In 1833 he was a partner in this firm of Weekes & Cheesman, and in 1836 bought out the New York men. In the panic of the early 40s, he failed. He then became purchasing agent of E.C. Brown & Co., crockery, later bought by Homan & Co. of Boston. About 1865, he and his son Arthur established P. Poole & Son, of Seneca Street. His son Arthur was killed while going to a fire, and Mr Poole, then 68 years old, never recovered from the effects of this affliction and sold out to a nephew from Long Island, Edgar Cheesman Poole, and retired from business. Although by nature, one of the most gentle and retiring of men, probably due to his Quaker antecedents, his refinement and accomplishments made him prominent in the little pioneer town, and he became one of its most popular bachelors. He was one of the earliest members of the Young Men's Association, and was a member of the Volunteer Fire Department, which was composed of the best men of the town. He lived in bachelors apartments which he furnished himself, and owned a box at the old Eagle St Theatre, where many of the best operatic stars of the day appeared and where Mr &-Mrs John Drew were member of a stick company. Mr Poole was noted, for his beautiful handwriting which could not be told from Copper Plate engraving. In 1837, Mr Poole married Martha Fitch, one of the four Fitch sisters' of Le Roy, who were remarkable for their beauty and sprightliness. Mr Poole was an episcopalian and one of the founders of Trinity Church at Buffalo where he was a vestryman for seventeen years, part time acting as as treasurer and clerk of the Vestry as well. He conducted the music of Trinity Church for nineteen years, and while Mrs Poole gave her services as soprano for twelve years, be filled the position of choir master, basso and organist as required. He was a natural Musician, a pianist of more than average ability, played the organ and flute and also sang very well He also played the flute in an amateur orchestra. Through his musical talents and those of his daughter, who became an accomplished pianist and vocalist, at an early age, he became intimately acquainted with many of the musicians who cane to Buffalo. First and foremost was the illustrious Patti family, consisting of Adelina, then a young girl who sang in Buffalo before she made her formal debut in New York, Carlotta Patti, her sister, also a wonderful soprano, Madame Maurice Strakosch, the famous pianist. In the early 40s, Buffalo was an important place on the threshold of the Great West:, in summer it was full of business bustle, being a coaching terminal and a distributing point for the western territories, but in winter, with the Erie Canal and Lake traffic at a standstill, the little city put aside business cares and became the gayest of social centres. Its card parties, suppers, dances, musicals, and winter frolic, are not excelled even in this day of luxury, and were enjoyed with a singleness of heart which we today wot not of. No Subject 8C P2 (84) 2/22/53 gathering was complete without Mr. & Mrs, Poole, and in return, their house was the scene of many hospitalities. Mr. Poole reached his 75th birthday with a marvellous serenity of spirit and resignation to the divine will, and his beautiful life and character justified the scriptural promise, "blessed are the pure in heart" for they shall see God". The Buffalo Commercial of June 11/1903, carried the following notice of the death of Mrs. Poole:- "Mrs, Martha Fitch Poole, widow of the late Rushmore Poole, died at the residence of her son in law Dr. Joseph T. Cook, Wednesday morning June 10th, aged 85 years. she was born in Annsville on February 4/1818, her parents moving to Le Roy a few years later. The two elder sisters having married West Point officers, several years of her girlhood were passed with them at Fort Niagara, Fort Brady, and Bedloe's Island. She came to Buffalo to reside permanently in 1835, with her aunt, Mrs. Rodman Starkweather, with whom she lived until her marriage in 1837, in the residence still standing at the corner of Washington and Mohawk Sts. She was probably the last and only survivor of Old Trinity Church. Maria Fitch was descended from a long line of distinguished ancestors. Among those who came to this country in 1620 and 1640 were Elder William Brewster of Mayflower fame, the Rev. James Fitch of Norwich, Conn., and the Reverend Henry Whitfield of Guilford, Conn. She was a noted beauty and gifted with it and conversational powers, which with a cultured mind, made her rarely attractive to all who knew her. Mrs. Poole was prominent in early Buffalo since her entry into society at the age of seventeen. Her identification with Trinity Church dates from a time when this organisation met in a building on South Division St, prior to the erection of Old Trinity at the corner of Washington and Mohawk Sts. Mrs. Poole, whom was possessed of a fine voice and rare musical appreciation, held the position of soprano in the quartett choir for 12 years, giving her services regularly until prevented by her advanced age. She is survived by an only daughter, Mrs. Joseph T. Cook, and one grandchild, Miss Anna Maude Hoxie. Mrs. Poole was & very loveable and loving woman, earnest in good works, unwavering in her affection for her friends, charity for all, and steadfast faith in the Heavenly Father.
