According to Murray Edward Poole, Samuel Pool was born in 1690 at Weymouth, Massachusetts.[1] Chamberlain estimated that he was born in 1686.[2]

He married Sarah Nash by about 1710. She was the daughter of Lieut. Jacob Nash of Weymouth and Abigail Dyer. She was born on June 7, 1688, at Weymouth, Massachusetts. [1][2]

He was one of the original settlers of Abington, Massachusetts, before its incorporation in 1711. Selectman six years, 1718-24, and the first Representative sent by Abington to the Massachusetts General Court in 1735, and for several years thereafter. He built and owned a sawmill on Beaver Brook in 1729. He was highly esteemed. Moderator of the Church Meeting, Aug. 22, 1749, called to eject the pastor. He was one of the Agents appointed by the Town April 19, 1727, to meet the Committee appointed by the General Court to view the Town in order to take off the petitioners of the East part of the Town and to offer the reasons they shall agree upon why the Town are not willing they should be set off.

Thanks for finding the duplicate and proposing the merge, Linda.

Note: When determining a person's LNAB, we normally try to find documentation of what the person's actual last name was around the time of their birth. We don't assume that the profile that looks like it has the best sources must have the best last name. In this instance, one profile is unsourced and the other one cites a secondary source that chose "Poole" as a standard name for the family throughout history. The better approach to determining the LNAB would be to look this person up in Weymouth vital records or similar sources.

Poole-845 and Pool-769 appear to represent the same person because: Last name at birth should be resolved in favor of the profile with the best sources and documentation.

Is this the same as the "Samuel Poole" described at https://archive.org/stream/cu31924029843673#page/n15/mode/2up ?
