BRIEF BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES

Ursula was a daughter of William Hudson.

DISAMBIGUATION:  : Lunnenburg / Brunswick / Mecklenburg records show BOTH a William Hudson who was married to a Susanna and a William Hudson who was married to a Sarah. Often these two men, with the same name, living in the same area, have been confused by genealogists. After considerable effort, there now seems to be a clear document trail to correctly identify these two different men, see profiles for Ursula Hudson's father for details)

She was born in Mecklengburg VA in 1762 (sworn testimony for husbands Rev War Pension)She married James Pool in 1782 at age 20 (he was 26)In 1783 they had their first child, RebeccaIn ~ 1784 they moved to Laurens Co SC they had a total of 9 children ; 1 child "C_____" may have died as an infant In their last years, they lived with daughter Rebecca Pool Traynham; they were buried in the Traynham family cemetary

According to her sworn testimony (see James Pool's Rev War Pension Documents) was born in Mecklenburg VA in 1762. After the Rev War, she and husband migrated to what is now Laurens County SC.

Ursulas's father, William Hudson gave land in NC and SC to Ursula and James ( and also to two of Ursula's sisters and their husbands). James and Ursula established a home in the rich land between the Reedy River and Horse Creek In what is now Laurens County . This area of SC had been Indian territory just a decade or so before the Pool's migrated.

Ursula and James were planters. Their land, between the Reedy River and Horse Creek, was rich and good for farming. At the time of Jame's death, his will included substantial gifts of money and land for each of his children.

Some evidence of close links between Pool, Ragsdale, Harris, Hudson, Wilborn, Avary (Avera), Crowder, Pyles, Hall These families interacted in Meckeinburg VA and some migrated to the same Laurens / Edgefield areas of SC at about the same time. Also, some of these same VA families interacted with the John Pool family in Edgfield SC-- John is believed to be a close cousin to James Pool. (Probably all descendants from Thomas Pool, Sr. of Elizabeth City Co VA

Two of Ursula's sisters married Wilborn brothers and moved to Edgefield. William Hudson gave land to each of his daughters and sons in laws. James Pool's brother, Alexander married Angelina Crowder.

After Alexander Poole died intestate in 1767; each of his sons were bound out to Ragsdale familie19 Sep 1778 : Along with [Rachel's brother] Richard Ragsdale and Alexander Poole, Mark witnessed the will of William Harris in Mecklenburg County.
