I found 3. Henry lists his mother as Polly John b in Ohio Co. Margaret lists her mother as Mary Foreman. Fannie Ellen lists her mother as Polly Johnson. After looking at some census records, I think you really should start looking at James Johnson as the father of your Polly. I found in 1860 Cader and Polly are living next to James and Debby Johnson. I went back to 1850 and found James and Deborah with daughter Mary age 16. This Mary matches the age of your Polly. In 1870 Cader is still living next to James and Debby. Also living next to Cader is his sister Sarah, who married Cortez Bean. James and Debby have a daughter named Ellen. Mary "Polly" may have named Frannie Ellen after her sister. Also on the birth register for 1857, Margaret Foreman's mother is listed as Mary J. Johnson. hope this helps, Betsy Stanford Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
