I OWN THE DANCY-POLK HOUSE. I HAVE YET TO MEET ANYONE WHO CLAIMS TO BE RELATED TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY HOME. I KNOW THAT COL. FRANCIS DANCY LEFT DECATUR IN AROUND 1836 AND WENT TO LIVE IN ST. MARY'S PARISH, LOUISIANA. I AM LOOKING FOR ANY INFORMATION RELATED TO THE DANCY'S THAT OWNED MY HOME. HIS GRANDDAUGHTER LAVINA (WOODS) POLK LATER ACQUIRED THE HOUSE THUS THE NAME DANCY-POLK. SHE WAS MARRIED TO THOMAS GILCHRIST POLK FROM MAURY COUNTY TENNESSEE. THEY HAD SEVERAL CHILDREN BUT I'VE NOT MEET ANYONE CLAIMING TO BE RELATED TO THEM EITHER.
