Polly is nickname for Margaret, so obviously this lady was named after her Grandmother, Margaret McBride who was married to John McCurdy, and whose daughter Jennet mar Matthew Young. I believe Polly b 1801, is daughter of John and Rachel Davis Young (son of Matthew and Jennet). She mar James Young. Which of her cousins is this? Would appreciate anyone identifying line of James. He was probably born about 1800-1801 like Polly. Thanks, JeanW mccoy@gvtc.com

Jean, That's an interesting fact that Polly is a nickname for Margaret. I thought the nickname was Peg or Peggy. I'm always learning something new. Thanks!
