Thank you Bill for your responseJust wanted to touch all bases with you.
What is the proof that William Polk (wife Margaret Taylor) is the brother of Charles Polk, Indian Trader?
Quoting from "The Polks of North Carolina and Tennessee" by Mrs. Frank M. Angelotti, page 136:Charles, b. probably 1703, died between 19 March 1753, when his will was dated, and 20 June 1753, when it was proven; m. probably in 1735, Christian Matson, sister of Ralph.He built a residence and trading house at the North Bend of the Potomac River, and was known there as Chahrles Polk, the Indian Trader.In Gist's Journal it is stated that his name appears in the list of Indian traders in 1734.On Major's map of 1737 his name is marked with the names of four other settlers at the North Bend of the Potomac, where Hancock, MD., now stands.In the spring of 1780 his son, Capt. Charles Polk, with his brothers William, Edmond, and Thomas, and their sister, Mrs. Sarah (Polly) Piety, and her children, travelled from Pittsburg, PA., to Kentucky, and settled there.Delilah (Tyler) Polk, wife of Capt. Charles Polk, was captured by Indians, but was recovered.
In this article, Charles and William (b. 1700) in Maryland
are shown as children of William Polk (b.1664 probably in Co. Donegal, Ireland - d. 1739/1740) and Nancy (Knox)Owens, widow.He (William & Nancy)lived at the old family home, "White Hall" on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
Let me stop there for tonight.
Do me a favor:List the direct Polk ancestors for President James K. Polk.I would like to compare what you have for him what is listed by the Author of "Tennessee Cousins".Thanks
