• Notes

  Marriage and/or birth date suspect. The dates don't add up between date of birth and date of marriage. If 1791 date of birth is correct then Polly married William when eight years old. If, however, she were born in 1785 her age at marriage would be fourteen which, though still yound, is much more likely.
