Jim,I checked out your url.I have some different information on some of the stats and I also have a couple questions.
To begin (with regarding the children of John and Jean Gracey Knox) -I have a 9th child as well.He was Robert, birthdate unknown and died in 1765. I have the birth year for Joseph as 1749 (you have Dec 1747. we know that Samuel was born Jan 1 1747 though).I was wondering about Mary's birthplace.If she was born in North Carolina, weren't the ones born after her (Samuel and Joseph) also born in the US and not in Ireland?Unless John and Jean Gracey Knox made a trip back to Ireland. (?)
Capt James Knox & Lydia Gillespie:Do you have a source for the info on Jane Gracey and Jean (both born 15 Nov, 1776)?I have only four children for them - Robert, Naomi, Jane/Jean (I assumed they were one in the same) and Thomas.
I have received different information as to the children of Samuel Polk and Jane Gracey Knox. I have the following:
James Knox Polk b Nov 2, 1795
Jane Maria Polk b January 14, 1798
Lydia Eliza Polk b February 17, 1800
Ezekial Franklin Polk b August 23, 1802
Marshall Tate Polk b January 17, 1805
John Lee Polk b March 23, 1807
Naomi L Polk b July 1809
Ophelia C Polk b September 6, 1812
William Hawkins Polk b May 24, 1815
Samuel Polk b October 17, 1817
Hopefully I can get it sorted out.
Thank you,
Vicki
