    1. [Greene] Re: Mary or Polly Martin
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ic.2ADI/710.1 Message Board Post: I just stumbled onto your message a couple of days ago. Joshua Martin and wife Mary did have a daughter named Mary "Polly" Martin. Polly married Robert Whatley 1796 in Oglethorpe Co., GA. Did you find an 1801 SC marriage record that indicated a Mary "Polly" Whatley married a Morrow? We (several Martin researchers) have no record that Polly ever married a Morrow, but I don't recall that we've ever looked at available SC records for such a marriage. Joshua had moved his family to Wilkes Co., GA in 1787 from NC. The family had originated in Maryland and moved to NC about 1777. As Wilkes Co., GA was partitioned into other counties the family found themselves residing in Oglethorpe Co.; later Joshua moved just across the county line into Greene Co. where he died in 1803. The list of Polly's siblings you presented is correct.
