It is very possible that Polly could be a daughter of Moses.
" Polly " was the nickname for Mary. All our Marys are called Polly.
Being that Polly wouldnt carry her father Y gene. She would carry his X and another X from her mother. She also has her mother's MT-DNA. This line would have to be tested for MT-DNA and hope there is a match in the data base to match other Riddles . More than likely I would think the base gene would come up an Indian haplogroup. More Indian women married non Indian men than the other way around. Retracing women back than is much harder than the men. I have so many lines that we have no clue who they married and their are no marriage records. Half my tree states Wife: Unk.
Jack only has John and William confirmed to be Moses and Mary's children but we no there had to be more. People weren't practicing birth control back then!
