I am currently trying to decipher the "Polly Benge" legend that has been passed around in Dekalb County for many years. A narrative was written about this legend by Charlie Scott, a prominent Fort Payne lawyer. He was never able to completely solve the mystery of this legend. Here are some of the name mentioned in the narrative: Polly Benge Sam Stewart John and Mary Robertson Stewart and their son Newell Stewart Bob Poe Archibald and Nancy Stewart Ashberry and their son Robert(Bob)Ashberry W.S. Smart & Mr. Burton Residents of Pea Ridge: Mary Ballard and Uncle Aaron, Jasper Jones and Aunt Becky, Polk and George Stoner, Abner York and his wife, Walker, John, and Marion Biddle, Tobe Keith, and Zilman Williams. Place names: Chavies Benge Creek Pea Ridge I will be happy to pass along an excerpt from this narrative should anyone be interested. Also, some of the family associations in the narrative have been delineated. I will also send these along with the narrative. Alfred C. Ellis
