Hello,

I descend from the Pettypool, P'Pool, Poole family of Greenville, SC.
My great-grandparents were Pettypool cousins. Wade Hampton Pool m. Elizabeth
Benson Poole 8 Feb 1885, Greenville, SC.

I found the following tucked inside my great-grandfather's Family Bible,
published 1857.

(This is printed on a small delecate ivory invitation. It is heavily embossed
with delicate lacy borders and script type. )

A. ISAACS                       WM P. McBEE

------------------------------------------

I don't know who recieved invitation, or even if it was attended, but thought
I'd share the information with the list. 

I'm really not sure HOW the McBee family fits into this Hampton McVay P.Pool
and Caroline Sabrina  ___? P.Pool's family, but the surnames of McBEE and
WELLS appear in a couple of their children and a couple their grandchildren's
middle names. Of course, it could also be just a friend's name, too.

If anyone recognizes Hampton McVay P.Pool (1811- 1890) (son of Young P'Pool
and Sally McVAY P'Pool)  m.  1835, or his wife Caroline Sabrina ?___
(1815-1890) ---please let me know.
