Immigration:
After his return to Canada from his trip to Cincinnati, William Poole, together with other Canadians who had sympathized with the Rebellion, decided to seek new homes in the United States. His long journey via the lakes and by covered wagon to the Rock River country in Illinois is told in the chapter "From Canada to Buffalo Grove." (See story).

Residence:
William Poole built a house for his bride across the street from the Johnson home, nine miles north of Toronto. They lived there until 1839. Both this house and the old Johnson home still stand (1939).

Travel - Arrival:
They loaded their teams, wagons and baggage on a steam boat at Buf-
falo, N. Y., and came to Detroit; where, because the horses had gotten sick
on the boat, William Poole with team and family, Mosher with team and
family and David Huie and wife with Sanborn's team disembarked and
drove cross country to Chicago. There they met John Sanborn and the rest
of the emigrants, who had come around by way of the lakes to this place.

From Chicago, then a little village, they all came to Buffalo Grove, ar-
riving on June 26, 1839.

Location:
The year before, John Lawrence and Schuyler Lunt had purchased the squatter's rights to eight hundred acres of land which lay in the adjoining corners of what is now Buffalo, Eagle Point, Lincoln, and Brookville townships. Lunt sold out his right to Sanborn and moved away. This tract of land was divided among Lawrence, Sanborn and Poole, who later bought it from the government for $1.25 per acre.

turning from Polo with his wife. A doctor was summoned and the family
