LeAnn,
I am not a POILE descendant, but I am researching the family of Everette Alexander Poile's grandfather, Alexander Wilson. Alexander Wilson was an older brother to my great grandfather, Harrison Wilson. Harrison came to Gettysburg in 1886 and filed on a claim in Cunningham Twp., SE quarter in section 27. In 1887, he brought his family here and established his home on his homestead. He farmed until 1892 when he moved to Gettysburg and erected a house. In 1900 his son, Charles, married May Dimond Burnside. In 1902 Harrison moved to Des Moines, Iowa, where he lived until his death in Jan of 1923. He was preceded in death by his wife on Dec. 29,1920. Their son, my grandfather, Leston L. Wilson, Sr. was born in Gettysburg on July 8, 1897. Alexander and Harrison had a sister, Eunice Wilson VAN NORSTRAND, who also homesteaded in Potter County. If you are interested, I would like to compare our research.
