Jerry,
I cannot see your database, so I don't know how you have these people shown there, and the dates of birth for these Polk folk may be different in your db than from what I have, as the DOB is not proven, just guesstimated.But if you do the following, you should have the three main Polk groups in your database, but they will not be related.
Detach the William Polk who m. Margaret Taylor as the son of William Polk/Nancy Knox.Detach the Charles Polke, Indian Trader, b. c1700, as a son of William Polk/Nancy Knox, this being the Charles Polke who most genealogies have as married to Christian Matson (but her correct surname is Christian Cartlidge).This William and Charles are usually shown as brothers; they are not brothers.Regardless of who you have as Charles Polke's wife, detach him from the parents you have (probably William Polk/Nancy Knox), as there are no known parents for Charles Polke, the Indian Trader.All descendants of these two men being detached stay with them, of course, but this would end the blood relationship of anyone in these two lines to the Polk line of Robert Polk/Magdalen Tasker Porter of Somerset Co., Md., the parents to whom most genealogies have them connected.So, there would be three different families, all three being different Polk lines, and there would be no relationship between the line of President Polk (whose greatgrandparents were the aforementioned William Polk/Margaret Taylor)and these other two lines.Hope this helps, Bill
