Pam,
This is the data that I have, starting with older generations and working downline:
#1.) Robert Bruce (Pollok) Polk, m. Magdalen Tasker.
#2.) William Polk I, m. Nancy Knox.
#3.) William Polk II, m. Margaret Taylor.
#4.) William Polk III, born abt 1725 in Cumberland Co., PA., some say he married Elizabeth "Grizzy" Spratt, the mother of the children is in question, it is said that he was married more than once. Last record for him was in Cabarrus Co., NC.
#5.) Thomas Polk, b. 1757 in NC., d. 1842 in Gibralta, (Gibralter?) NC., m. Mary Shelby in 1782 in NC., Mary was d/o Rees and Mary Blair.
#6.) Andrew M. Polk, b. 1792, m. Colon Carraway in NC.
Children:
Thomas J. Polk, b. 1819 m. Tillitha Williams.
James M. Polk, born 1825 in NC., m. Susanna Faulkner, she born 1822 in NC. (I don't have their children listed).
Marshall A. Polk, b. 1830 NC., m. Mary Boggan.
Leonidus L. Polk, b. 1837, m. Sarah P. Gaddy.
I have more dates for the ones above if you like. Magdalen Tasker (wife of Robert Bruce Polk) was previously married to Col. Porter, but we descend through the Tasker family.
Nancy Knox was previously m. to William Owens, we descend through the Knox family. Hope this helps.
