I have 2 Polly Brooks in my lineage, family moved to NY, but neither is the correct birthdate.Polly was a common nickname of the day.
My ggg-grandfather Marcena Brooks b.1789 Brimfield MA, moved to Cattaraugus Co, NY c.1818 as did his brother Edward Brooks.Both established large families there, children would be of Polly's generation, dates.Marcena & Edward did have a sister Polly Brooks b.1791 m. Erastus Edgecomb.I have no further info on that.Marcena & Edward did have brothers, Benjamin, & Reuben.Neither named a daughter Polly.Also, their mother was Polly Brooks - Mary "Polly" Shaw Brooks. I do not have information on the other lines, sorry.Hoping this info might help you pinpoint a direction to look or not.
