Nancy Bryant
Would like any information on a Nancy Bryant that married Jefferson Polly in 1869 in Lincoln Co. TN. He remarried in 1897 or 1899 so assume Nancy died sometime between those years. I know there were at least 2 sons, Roy and Sam. Jefferson Polly had 3 sons by his first marriage to Jane Cross (may be Mary). They were James, John (maybe twins) and Benjamin called Brave.
There does not seem to be much information on the Polly's in Tennessee. I've not been able to find who Jefferson's father was. He was born in 1840 in Lincoln Co. His Mother was Lydia Polly and 1850 census shows his father was Mr. Polly from Ky but he must have been dead or gone somewhere because he is not listed as living in the household of Rebecca Polly (assume that is Jefferson's grandmother) Lydia Polly and Jefferson age 10. I did find a David Polly married to Lucinda Simmons in 1840 in Lincoln Co. Also, I think there was another son named Aaron which was living in the next household. I can't be sure without going back into my records but I think the name was Burnett or Barnett. He is listed as 12 yrs. of age.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you, Rosemary
