Hello Peggy, I don't know if you've seen the will of Stephen Pankey. He's the father of Mary "Polly" Pankey. It is posted on the Pankey forum. He states his deceased daughter Polly Sproles/Polly Gober. I have a friend you has One of the Pankey books and I asked him to look up Mary Pankey for me. He wrote and said first she married Thomas Sproles and then E.C.Gober. I am not an expert but it seems to me something is mixed up here. I'm not sure because I haven't done that much research on this family. My friend says in the book Mary was b.July 9,1814 and d.Holmes Co. Miss. March 15,1851. This is how I found them in the census.

This family is right next door to Mary "Polly" Pankey's sister Nancy Pankey Cooper Wilson and her husband Robert. Two houses away is their brother Stephen Pankey. I will keep searching maybe I will find something new. Thank you Paula
