POOLEY OF BOYTON
An Anthony Pooley was buried at
North Tamerton in 1725/26 and a Margery Pooley was buried
there in 1734. They have not yet been connected to the family covered below but
John and Elizabeth (Harris) Pooley had a son called Anthony, which is
suggestive of some link with the earlier individual of that name.
