Hi, Usually you can bet a cookie when you see a "Polly" that her real or given name is "Mary". I do not have the answer as to why but the southern folks nicked Mary as Polly. If you are a listener of bluegrass music you might recall Ralph Stanley's "Pretty Polly" song. I am sure he was singing of a Mary. Some who know more than me like Shelby taught me this.

They were together in 1870 census with Susan as 3. I do believe that Chloe was the last child him and Polly had together. He is 55 and Minerva is 35 in 1870. I had it in my old database but I have no marriage record for them. I wrote that Polly's name was Minerva and it was actually Mary, my mistake. John is listed with his parents though in 1860 and not just with his mother. Thanks for catching that and thanks for sending the death certificate site.

I agree, I have four ancesters in the late 1800's named Mary and all were called Polly. I don't know why either.
