    3. Hello, Can anyone tell me who were the parents of a Polly (probably Mary) Reid who married Samuel Wardlaw. In the book "Greenwood County Sketches", the following is on page 408: "Samuel Wardlaw married ______ Reid, three children: George Bowie, Elizabeth and Jane Wardlaw." [Samuel was the son of John Wardlaw, 1737-1791, a lieutenant in the Revolution.] Then, in the book "Abstracts of Ninety-Six District Wills", the following estate record is listed: Wardlaw, Polly, Box-97, Pack 2391, Will Dated November 6th,1813 in Abbeville Dist., Rec. Nov 15th 1813, Exr: David Wardlaw, Witnesses Hugh Wardlaw, Robert Wilson, Dowdle Wilson, Elizabeth Wilson. Widow of Samuel Wardlaw deceased, Children George, Betsey, Jenny W. Wardlaw, Invoice made Dec 1,1813, Buyers: William H. Barr, William Bowman, Andrew Stevenson, John Finley, John S., Rachel Miller, Hugh Reed William H. Barr (husband of Rebecca Reid) and her father, Hugh Reid, were buyers of the estate. Was there a family connection between this Polly Wardlaw, widow of Samuel, to Rebecca's parents, Hugh & Margaret (Reid) Reid. Thanks, Melvin
