Who were Mary "Polly" Wainscott's parents? Did she have any siblings? This is a collateral line for me, but I am interested in learning more about Mary's family.

Daniel LETT married about 1813-1814 to Mariah OSBORN (probably near Owen co KY). Daniel LETT married a second time to Mary "Polly" WAINSCOTT.

The LETT-WAINSCOTT marriage took place 12 Feb 1824 in Owen co KY [Book 1A Marriage Bonds Owen co, KY]. Bondsman was John C Winscott. A letter of consent was given by Katherine Winscott, mother of bride, and signed by Richard Winscott guardian. Testators were John McGibney and John C Winscott. The marriage was performed by William Cobb, JP.

Census estimates give a birth year of about 1802 for Mary "Polly" WAINSCOTT.

1820 census Daniel LETT in Owen co KY p99
(Balaam LETT on p101--Balaam was Daniel Lett's brother)
I need to get copies of the originals on both of these. People have reported varying numbers for the household members on both of these pages, I need to see photocopies of the originals!)

Daniel LETT bought one lot of land in Owenton KY 1823 and sold it to the Owenton Baptist church in 1834 [Deed book e p66] Daniel's wife was named as Polly in the sale records.

The LETT family moved to Jennings county, Indiana by 1828; Daniel Lett's siblings had settled there beginning a few years earlier in 1816.

Daniel LETT was received by letter January the first Saturday 1828 as a member of Coffee Creek Baptist church (Paris Crossing, Jennings county, Indiana). Polly LETT appears in later records of the same church.

Daniel LETT died in Jennings county March 27th 1837; his death was recorded in the minutes of Coffee Creek Baptist Church. Polly LETT continued to live in the area, and was found on the 1840 census in the household of her son, Fielding LETT. (Jennings co IN p447)

In the 1850 census, Mary "Polly" (WAINSCOTT) LETT is probably the 48 year old woman listed in the household of "Zilphy" PHILLIPS. Zilphia LETT was a daughter of Daniel LETT and Mary "Polly" WAINSCOTT. She was born 1832 in Indiana and married 16 Jan 1847 to William A PHILLIPS in Jennings county, Indiana. (Daniel LETT had a sister named Zilphia)

Note the census for 1850 does say "PHILLIPS" for Mary, age 48, but 1860 census has Polly LETT living with Zilphia PHILLIPS and the age matches that for Mary “Polly” (WAINSCOTT) LETT. (Although do note that Zilphia has only aged 5 years since the last census!)

Quntilda OWEN is the daughter of another of Daniel and Polly's daughters-- Quintilda LETT who married William OWEN 5 Feb 1841 in Jennings co IN.

I have no information on the death of Mary "Polly" (WAINSCOTT) LETT
