PINKNEY POOLE, Butler County, was born at Harlan Lake, Union Co., Ky., 
March 11, 1824.  He is a son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Guiler) Poole, who 
were married in 1815.  Joseph Poole, in early life, manufactured salt, at 
Harlan Lake, and, in 1830, engaged in farming, which he followed until 
his death in 1847; his widow, a native of Virginia, died in 1855, aged 
fifty-four years.  Pinkney Poole is the fourth in a family of eight 
children.  He remained with his parents until 1847, and then engaged in 
flat-boating, and trading in timber on Green River, for five years.  In 
1852, he made an overland trip to California, and there worked in the 
gold mines until 1856, when he returned to Kentucky, bought a farm of 
100 acres in Muhlenburgh [sic] County, and farmed until 1865; then leased 
his farm and removed to Rochester, Butler County, and engaged in the 
tobacco trade; since that time he has given all of his attention to the 
tobacco business and tending his farm.  In 1868, he married Sarah C., 
daughter of Henry Myers, of Muhlenburgh County.  They are the parents of 
eight children, five of whom are living: David H., Mary S., Napoleon B., 
Edward and Nancy.  The eldest son has lately graduated from Eastman 
College, at Poughkeepsie, N. Y.  Mr. Poole is a Republican, and takes 
an active interest in political questions.  He has been very successful 
in business and is numbered among the "solid men" of Butler County.
