So who is tracking these early New Jersey POOLE lines? Please post any comments here.
Please help us understand if male descendants with Y-DNA exist or not from each lineage... If Patricia Bergener's NJ Marriage extracts are compared with Wikipedia, and Google books snippets (full text not available), it seems that a family grouping is evolving... How fortunate that one NJ POOL lived in a stone house which has been preserved!

A lot of clues surround the Raritan Landing POOL family...
Wikipedia writers tell us that:
"The Cornelius Low House is a Georgian manor in Piscataway, New Jersey built for Cornelius Low I (1691-1783) in 1741 at Raritan Landing.[1] The Cornelius Low House is listed on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places and National Register of Historic Places, and was surveyed in 1937 for the Historic American Building Survey.[2]"
[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelius_Low_House]
See detail on how one John Pool owned this lovely stone house...
"Timeline
* 1738 Cornelius Low purchases 2 acres (8,100 m2) of land from William Williamson, on the bluff overlooking Landing Lane
* 1741 Low moves into his "new house on the mountain" and remains there until his death in 1777
* 1793 John Pool purchases the property from Cornelius Low’s son, Nicholas Low
* 1871 George W. Metlar acquires the house from John Adams Pool’s widow for $14,000
* 1916 Anna Voorhees obtains the house through sale from the Metlar family
* 1965 Stephen Van Rennsalear Strong purchases the property from Theodore Voorhees for $1
* 1979 Middlesex County, New Jersey takes title to the house, buying it from Stephen’s widow, Marianne Strong, for $160,000"

"472. i. JEREMIAH, b. Jan. 27, 1713; m. Phoebe . He m. and had one dau., b. Jan. 19, 1736. They resided on the Stephen Voorhees Place. Jeremiah, at the beginning of the troubles resulting in the Revolutionary war, we find acting in concert with the true men of the land. He served on township and county committees of correspondence, and in other ways operating with similar organizations in the colonies in the common cause of liberty. The history of this branch of the family since its ident1fication with New Jersey is, as before, both in this country and in England, marked with true energetic manliness and good citizenship; always striving for the best interests of society, loving liberty with a determination to have it. Owner of large landed property situated along the banks of the Raritan, his attention was mostly given to the cultivation of the soil, at the same time advocating and executing measures tending to improve and benefit the community.

477. vi. MARY, b. Oct . 19, 1720; m. George Rapleyea and Jacob Boice.
478. vii. MICHAEL, b. Feb. 4, 1723; m. two sisters named Williamson; no issue; res. on the "Mill Property," Bound Brook, N. J. Michael Field was owner of the flourishing mill near Bound Brook, and was particularly noted for his large-hearted generosity and penetrating foresight; his footsteps are yet seen, and the effects of his benevolence are still felt and enjoyed in the neighborhood where he lived. He gave largely in real estate and by will, in money, to the Presbyterian church at Bound Brook and for public benefit. At the outbreak of the Revolution (1775) the able and hardy of the generations, then l1ving of the family, to a man, sided with the patriots of the colonies, serving on committees of safety, meeting in the councils of the people, sacrificing time and their blood in the cause of liberty.
The Scotch and English multiplied in this vicin1ty, and by the year 17oo they were in sufficient numbers to warrant forming the "Presbyterian Congregation of Bound Brook," wh1ch before long became one of the most flourishing and important religious organizations in the colony. We have no record of where the first services were held—probably in one of the log dwellings that were distributed along the willow-fringed banks of the river. It was not until 1725 that the congregation erected its first edifice, a low one-story house which stood within the present church grounds, and was preserved until far 1n this century, the uses of its later years being that of a school house. Itinerant preachers served the needs of the people until 1741, when the Rev. James McCrea was appointed by the Presbytery as a supply, which service he continued until 1749. A second and more pretentious building was completed about the year 176o, the funds having been obtained from the proceeds of a public lottery.
Affixed to the walls of the present church edifice is a tablet showing the first settled minister of the congregation to have been the Rev. Israel Read. He was called to the pastorale in 175o, "in which he was faithful to his Divine Master to the death." In November, 1793, he was thrown from his carriage wh1le riding near New Brunswick, receiving injuries of which three days later he died. Judging from the congregational records it would seem that members ot the Field family have, from the founding of this religious society, been among its most active supporters and benefactors. A portion of the church grounds was conveyed by Benjamin and Jeremiah Field in the year 1749, and the large church Bible which bears a London imprint of 1772, has on its leaf, in the handwriting of the Rev. Mr. Read, the following. "Mr. Michael Field's book 1784 he Presents to the Reverend Mr. Read, being the Second Small Legacy made by him to the Church at Bound Brook. Pris-1-8-o." Michael Field d. Jan. 13, 1792; a copy of his w1ll, in n:y possession, shows that he bequeathed one thousand pounds to the trustees of the congregation, the interest ot which was to be applied "towards supporting the gospell in the Presbiterian Church at Bound Brook." He also left the sum of five hundred pounds for the support of a free school within the congregation. This was not the first one of the village. The Scotch Presbyterians held the school almost in equal estimation with the church; schoolmasters were brought from the old country and early established in the East Jersey settlements. In 1752, when Johannes visited Bound Brook, John Wacker taught the village children in a low one-story building w1thin the present church grounds. Doubtless the colonial lads found that pedagogue's name to be appropriate to his calling, for schoolmasters of the olden time considered that mental perceptions were precipitated by knuckles and palms being well ridged by hard rulers. One of the first teachers in the free academy established by the bequest of Michael Field was Isaac Toucey, who afterwards was secretary of war under Buchanan's administrat1on.
