Orv,
Well I guess this means we are cousins as all Harpole's from Pike County are. I follow the same line you do till we get to Adam Harpole and Lucinda McMullin, You take Charles Easton path and I take Bruce C, path.
I don't know about the school house in Nebo, My great aunt lives by the new school, I remember going to Spaghetti dinners there with my grandparents. My grandparents were both born in Pike County as was my father. His name is Charles Harpole. We seem to use that name every generation. My grandparents were Orbie Harpole and Mildred Blackorby. I don't remember a lot myself about Nebo, I visited Pleasant Hill more than Nebo, as my Great grand mother lived there, and I loved to go to her house. But I will try and make some inquires about the town and the school house for you. I live in Florida now and don't get back much. Last time was 1987. My parents are going this summer to do some research for me so if you need something just ask and I'm sure they will include it with my stuff and then I can pass it on to you. They are going to visit the grave yards in Pike and Calhoun Counties for sure and then branch out to other sites.
