James Polk married Nancy Montgomery on Oct. 8, 1840, Lowndes County Marriage Book 1, page 302, married by John L. Tomlinson, JP. William Polk married Nancy a. Brown on Jan. 8, 1861, marriage book 3, page 482, marriage bond co-sighed by Henry Brown. Diana Polk married William Brown on June 4, 1862, marriage book 3, page 574, married by Beverly A. Walker, JP, bond co-signed by J. F. Clements, permission to marry given by Nancy Polk for daughter, Diana (because Nancy signed the permission letter, it may be that James has died by this time) If James has died as the above marriage record suggests, Nancy could have remarried, but I found no marriage record in Lowndes for Nancy Polk. 1850 US Census, page 148B, Family #700 Polk, James, age 32, male, born in SC Polk, Montgomery, age 28, female, born in AL Polk, William, age 9, male, born in AL Polk, Dorothy D., age 5, female, born in AL Polk, Eldridge S., age 3, male, born in AL 1850 US Census, page 177B, Family #23 Polk, Robert, age 57, male, a planter, value real estste $175, born in SC Polk, Nancy, age 40, female, born in SC Polk, Sarah A., age 18, female, born in SC Polk, William, age 16, male, born in SC Polk, Robert T.
