  • Notes 
    • VII) Horace Minot Pool, son of John Poole. was born at Easton, Massachusetts, July 9. 1803, died November 15, 1878, at Easton. In 1828 he and his brother Harrison began the manufacturing of mathematical instruments on a small scale. Their progress was difficult for a time, as there was a strong prejudice in favor of foreign made instruments, although their work was said to be even superior to theimported. In 1878 John M. Poole, who had been foreman for twenty-five years, succeeded to the business, and he manufactures surveyors' transits, builders levels, land and telescopic compasses, and many other instruments of this kind. On September 24, 1858, he with twelve others organized the Pine Grove Committee of Carpenters in Easton. Horace M. Pool was one of the original charter members of the North Easton Savings Bank, organized in 1864.

Ann Maria, born September 15, 1833, in Easton ; married Lucius Richmond. 2. Horace Franklin, born November 22, 1834, died March, 1865.
