John,
I am a descendant of the Pool/Poole/P'Pool/Pettypool/Pettipoole/etc of VA, the NC, then Greenville Co SC.I understand from the long time researchers of my line that the Pettipooles came from England and just maybe when the English were conquered by the Normans (the French), well the name probably came from them.Pettipoole is definitely french-like.My gggggrandfather starting sometime writing his name as William Petty Pool, his grandson, My gggrandfather Demarcus wrote his name "Poole", other branches left the e off and other went by P'Poole.Judy
