Polly was born 18 Jan 1815 and died 25 Sept 1881. She had three sons and one daughter. I know one son was Aaron Luce who married Victoria Christy. Victoria's family own Jordan's funeral home in Sinclairville now. Polly's parents were John Brigham and Sarah Eaton of Chadwick Bay, Dunkirk, Chautauqua, NY. My mother's mother was Elma Luce daughter of Elbert Luce and Blanche Loun. Elbert was the son of Aaron Luce and Victoria Christy. Aaron committed suicide near Charlotte Center, NY because of brain damage from a horse kicking him in the head. My mother told me that it happened during a Thanksgiving day dinner in his bedroom as he was staying with family. He shot himself in the head. My mother said that her mother's aunt witnessed it happening. Elma and her first husband Glenn Harvey Chase are buried at Charlotte Center Cemetery and just up the road is the Burnham Hollow Cemetery where Moses and Poll{e}y Burnham Luce are b! uried near Aaron and Victoria Christy Luce Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
