margaret_benitez — 4 Sep 2007 3:16:58 GMT

I come from William Polk(b. ~1705 White Hall, MD) & Margaret Taylor's daughter Susannah (m. Benjamin Alexander). I've read some debate about who exactly this William belongs to. Is he really in the Robert Polk/Magdalen Tasker line, son of William (b. 1664 Ireland) & Nancy Knox Owen? I've looked through the board here and haven't see it overtly discussed before. Some of the information I've seen online is dated, so I'm not sure where the debate stands. Is there any new light/consensus on the subject?

Thanks!

Polk Family and Kinsmen publication

diane1230 — 16 Nov 2007 10:31:20 GMT

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me if they know anything about the whereabouts of the original correspondence, which was quoted in the Polk Family and Kinsmen publication?

I have recently discovered a connection to the Keys line outlined in the work and wonder if images of the original 2 letters written by 2 Keys individuals are available anywhere. Are the letters still in existence?

I would dearly love to have a copy and not just a transcription, though I imagine they may be in a private collection, if anywhere at all.

Please excuse my ignorance on this matter, as I have only made this discovery in the past week.

Any pointers, or any information at all, much appreciated.

Thanks, Diane

Martha/Mary/Margaret Polk Brevard

aaacampbell — 19 Mar 2006 7:24:26 GMT

I'm trying to establish the name of the wife of Dr. Ephraim Brevard, and the fact that he did NOT have a daughter named Margaret Polk Brevard who married Gov. Nathaniel Alexander of NC.

Dr. Brevard married a daughter of Thomas & Susannah Spratt Polk, according to most sources. Her name was Martha, though some have called her Mary, and even Margaret. [I have a Mary Polk, dau of Thomas Polk, who married a Mr. Brown. So Mary seem not to be the wife of Brevard.] Can anyone tell me which daughter it was? What her name actually was?

All references that I've seen have stated that Ephram & Martha Polk Brevard only had one child, a daughter named Martha Brevard. She married Henry H. Dickerson, and they had one son, James P. Dickerson who was killed in the assault on Mexico City.

But the wife of the Gov. is mentioned many times as Margaret Polk Brevard, dau of Dr. Ephraim & Martha Polk Brevard. And many times she is mentioned as only Margaret Polk, dau of Thomas Polk.

Which is it?

Thanks very much for your help!

I just thought I would include this if anyone is interested.

Polk

John R Polk, an Aged citizen of this county, died in the town of Bloom on the 16th inst. He was eighty-eight years of age and had been a resident of this county for about 30 years. He was highly esteemed for his uprightness, virtues and Christianity. He has numerous descendants residing in the towns of Bloom and Henrietta.

James Polk - Born in PA 1799 - Was Deaf & Dumb

148312 — 29 Apr 2006 5:59:45 GMT

I am seeking any information on one James Polk who was born about 1799 in I believe White Deer Twp. Union Co, Pennsylvania. According to writings the man was both Deaf and Dumb. According to information I have he may have lived for a time with Jacob & Ann (Pollock) Ziebach, however this cannot be confirmed. What I do know is this man appears in the 1870 Census living in Richland County, Wisconsin. In the 1870 census he is listed as James Polk age 71, born in PA, Deaf and Dumb. He is listed as living with My GGGG grandfather John R. Polk who was also born in PA in 1797. I assume the two are related but I could never figure out how. My ancestor John R. Polk I also believe was born in White Deer Twp. Union Co, Pennsylvania, perhaps the son of William and Margaret Polk.

If anyone has any information on James Polk who was Deaf and dumb please let me know.

I am looking for the proper "slot" (family) for my John POLK, born about 1810/12 in York District, S.C.,died after the 1850 census.(It is possible, of course, that he left the state or that he was skipped by the enumerator, but he doesn't show up again.)

I believe that he married first about 1829 (probably in Chester County,S.C.),Mary DANIELS, daughter of David and Mary Ann DANIELS of the Fishing Creek area of Chester County.(Their neighrbors were James FERGUSON,James LEE and ? MOBLEY.) John and Mary DANIELS POLK had one known (to me) child, Elizabeth POLK, born May 1830, died after 1900,probably never married.Mary DANIELS POLK died before Sept 1834, as per the estate papers of her mother, Mary Ann DANIELS.

Mary DANIELS POLK had 3 sisters:

Harriet DANIELS who married Reuben DENNIS

Cynthia DANIELS who married Charles S. CLINE

Artemesia DANIELS who was unmarried at the time her mother's will was made

John POLK probably remarried at least once, perhaps twice, and fathered at least 4 more children:
William, born ca 1836, died after 1900

Mary, born Feb 1837,died after 1900,married Uriah J. GANDY before 1856

Margaret, born ca 1839

John C., born ca 1849

Mary Ellen Polk

allmyleaves — 9 Jan 2006 3:12:42 GMT

I am searching for information on a Mary Ellen Polk . According to her gravestone her date of birth was Dec 4, 1825. She died as a results of childbirth on Nov 30, 1864. She died in Bosque Co., Texas. She was married to JR Arnold around 1844 perhaps in Arkansas. Census records show her birth to have been either TN, AR, or GA.

She is supposedly related to Pres. Polk's line, parentage has been given to William H Polk, president's brother, but according to his available date of birth, he would have been 10 when Mary Ellen was born.

I have recently seen census records that indicate a Evan Polk that was in Maury Co., TN in 1830 and an Evan Polk was also on census in 1840 in Madison, AR. He has a daughter approximately the correct age to be Mary Ellen in the 1830 census, but she is no longer shown in the 1840 census if it's the same family.

I would be very appreciative of any information on these Polks.

MAJOR GENERAL LEONIDAS POLK

Kelly_Blizzard — 12 Jul 2005 12:16:46 GMT

excerpt from "History of Kentucky", by Lewis Collins (July 10 -Sept. 11, 1861)

-- Major-General Leonidas POLK, commanding Confederate army at Columbus, Ky.,
notifies Gov. MAGOFFIN that he will withdraw his troops from Ky., provided
the Federal troops are simultaneously withdrawn; and will guaranty that
confederate troops will remain out of the state, provided that Federal troops shall
not again be allowed to enter or occupy any point of Kentucky in the future.
Sept/ 10: States' Rights state convention in session at Frankfort, Richard
HAWES, chairman; 70 counties represented; speeches by Wm. PRESTON, Thos. F.
MARSHALL, Robert W. WOOLLEY, Lewis E. HARVIE, Edward C. MARSHALL, and others;
resolutions adopted deploring the unnatural war, advocating strict neutrality, in
favor of the dispersion of the Federal camps in the state, and expressing
readiness, when that is done, to assist in driving the Tennessee invaders from
our shores.

Sept. 11: The house, by 71 to 26, "Resolves, That his excellency, Gov.
MAGOFFIN, be instructed to inform those concerned that Kentucky expects the
Confederate or Tennessee troops to be withdrawn from her soul, unconditionally; and
then, by 29 to 68, defeats another resolution requesting the governor to demand
the immediate withdrawal of BOTH (italicized) the Federal and Confederate
troops from the south-western part of the state. The senate, by 25 to 8, adopted
the former resolution; which the governor vetoed on 13th, and both houses
promptly passed it over the veto -- thus BEING DRIVEN FROM OR ABANDONING THE
"NEUTRALITY GROUND" (italicized) hitherto consistently occupied. The governor
promptly issued his proclamation, as "instructed," strictly.

James R. Polk

GALSWEN1 — 11 Jun 2005 5:31:58 GMT

I'm trying to make a connection between my gggrandfather James R. Polk and the rest of the family. He was born in September, 1838. At different times he lists his place of birth as Bardstown, Nelson, Kentucky and other times as Clark County, Illinois. There is a James Polk on the 1850 Clark County census living with Mary and William Martin. In 1960 he married Mary Ann Due (Dew) in Clark County, Illinois. He served in the Civil War (79th Illinois Inf) then moved on to Wisconsin (2yrs), Texas, Arkansas, Indian Territory, Tennessee and finally ended up at the Soldiers Home in Leavenworth Kansas where he died in 1924. Kids were Nixon, Nelson (Edmond), Franklin, Nettie (my ggrandmother), Ellis, James K., Mary Ann and two that died as children (George and Annabel).

Any help in finding who his parents were would be appreciated.

I just wanted to comment on the book, "Polk's Folly" by William R. Polk. It is an excellent and exciting read and I highly suggest that any of the descendants of Robert Bruce Polk and Magdalen Tasker read it. It gives great accounts of the amazing legends of the Polk family. Although Mr. Polk tends to only comment on his direct ancestors in the last few chapters, it is still a really great way to get away from birthdates and cemeteries and hear some interesting stories. Enjoy.

Seek ancestry of the following:

Leonidas Lafayette Polk, was born about 1837, and was the founder of
Polkton, Anson Co. He was in the Civil War, in Co K, Pee Dee Wildcats. He
was a "kinsman" of Gen. Leonidas Polk of Raleigh. I don't know how they
were kin, but the Medley history of Anson Co. states they were.

L.L. Polk was N.C.'s first Commissioner of Agriculture, then President of
the National Farmers Alliance until his death in 1892. He was instrumental
in founding the State Agricultural and Mechanical College in Raleigh
(forerunner of N.C. State Univ.) He was also the editor of the Weekly
Ansonian and the Progressive Farmer.

There is so much written about his life and times, but I can find no
mention of his ancestry. I am not a descendant, but I'm trying to help
someone related to the Polk's find out how they are related. Thanks for
your help.
