I have mainly concentrated my research in Chesterfield County but a dear friend from Kershaw County had a great grandfather, John Polson, who married Martha Elliott. I've been trying to get this Polson info for her. I have been to the cemetery where Martha and her granddaughter are buried. John Polson, Martha's husband, committed suicide in the early 1900s and I've been trying to find out info about him. Was your Martha Elliott's father named William Elliott? Also, I remember seeing the McLaine name on a land conveyance index. I can send the land info and acreage if you like. I'm away from my source material at present. Can you tell me anything else about the Elliotts settling in Kershaw County or anything else about their family history? It might give me a clue as to which family the Polson I'm researching is from. Thanks, Norma
