Polly would be the granddaughter of the Nathaniel of the 1790 census at Hinsdale, VT. This is the Springfield Brooks line, the first four generations of which (through Nathaniel/4s) are available at the website. 6. Polly + Emerson Preston 5. Nathaniel + Lizzie Robinson 4. Nathaniel (b. 1743) + ????? 3. Nathaniel b. 1710) + Abigail Allen 2. Nathaniel (b. 1664) + (2) Mary Allis 1. William (d. 1688) + Mary Burt Unfortunately, I don't know any more about Polly than the name of her husband.
