I'm looking for information about an Elizabeth Rusk, who married a Joshua Polk (Joshua Polk born abt 1741 MD) in 1788, I believe in Maryland, but not sure. I know Elizabeth Rusk Polk died before 1810, because Joshua was already remarried to an Elizabeth Williams, by who he had his first child, Elizabeth in 1810 in Maryland. Joshua Polk and second wife, Elizabeth Williams Polk and three or four kids migrated from Maryland around 1827 to Highland County, OH, where they both died. (Joshua Polk's third wife was Margaret Paine, born in Ohio.)

Joshua Polk and second wife, Elizabeth Williams had a son they named Joshua Whittington Polk, born 1812 Maryland.
In the History of Highland County, OH, it states that Joshua Polk was a descendant of Benjamin Polk and Sarah nee Whittington Polk, Benjamin Polk being a son of Robert and Magdalen Tasker Polk. Have more information if interested.
