I don't know who her husband was but he was dead by 1840. Her children that I know of : Pressia m. Neely McGlothlin in 1869 Tabitha "Letha" Compton m. George Deel in 1855 Henry Compton m. Celia Compton in 1865 I'm sure there were more children but I don't know them. Maybe James Compton who married Emily was a son of Polly but I don't know who the father was. Thomas Compton had several children as did James Compton and Frances Herndon but I'm not sure of the connection just yet. If anyone can help please drop me a line.
