This is the final revision of James Mapes Pools’ first published book, published under ISBN 978-17372058-0-7 and in paperback ISBN 978-1-7372058-1-4, electronic book format. The foregoing represents further research on James Mapes Pool, his life, and many others’ work until the year 2023. The title of the book is the same, but the cover has changed. VERA, James’ mother, is now the name on the cover of this newly revised book. It is an artfully rendered photo of his mother’s face. Please note that within this book there will be social, religious, economic, and political differences reflecting the times. These are the times when, James’ ancestors lived, including but not limited to:
American pioneers, American Indians, immigrants, and the United States military. The book originated from napkins, the reverse sides of political junk mail, grocery receipts, notebook paper, long-hand scribbles, and digital text. Distractions were COVID-19 and its variants, political junk mail, power naps, letters, telephone calls of comfort from James regarding the death of his oldest son Mike, Mollie B. Polka Party reruns, Huell Howser reruns, coffee breaks, puzzle building, pie, and “Pa juice.” This is the story of James Mapes Pool and his ancestors. They were all destined to build the United States of America, and he was destined to build Orange County, California.
James Mapes Pool was born in a small United States town called Chandler, Minnesota, the first child of Dan and Vera Pool. He has now become an author and a historian for his ancestors. James’s hope is that each family member will keep a record of their own genealogy. When you choose to research your own ancestral line, you may want to start with such data as births, deaths, and so on. Think about it! If you do not write history down for your grandparents and great-grandparents, history can be lost forever. Start today by doing what James’s family has done: mailing or emailing each family a questionnaire that will allow them to create a family tree. Try and collect old family recipes, a cousins’ chart, a common ancestor chart, and a homestead chart (places a family lived or homes they owned).
As for the Pool family plot, there were small stone markers on the graves of Mary Pool Eason and her son James; however, they were broken and removed many years ago.
The graves of James’ Grandfather and Grandmother Pool were never marked. Due to the diligence of Mildred Moorhead, memorials were created in their name and a family plot was created for them. It may be difficult to find some graves, but with hard work and research, you will prevail. Photographs should accompany charts and lists. So, get researching your family history and author your own book.
In accordance with historians and family members, people, places, and things that are important to James Mapes Pool are included in this last revised addition, to include but not limited to, biographical photos of families that, in successive generations, have been documented and identified with the development of a nation called the United States of America. James has authorized the writing of this revised 2023 addition to perpetuate memory, foster and to promote the principles and virtues of his Dutch, German, and Bohemian ancestry, factually and accurately. Today, cities and country roads across America are filled with internal combustion engines and electric vehicles. There was a simpler time when people hitched up covered wagons, midwives helped with a women’s birth, the future was harsh, exciting, and unknown. This is exactly how James was born. James’ ancestors learned to survive, milk cows, work the farm, and mastered the art of farming.
