Good Evening Cousin David,
Well we couldn't be any further apart as far as miles between us than we currently are I am sure,
With you living on the west coast and me living out here on the east coast,
I live in FRAMINGHAM,MASS a town of about 90,000 population and only about 19 miles west of BOSTON,MASS,
Regarding a specific location for the farm of elder JAMES POLLY born 1792 I am afraid that would be pretty difficult to do without getting a copy of the land transfer to his farm when he purchased it,
I am not too sure wether or not you know it but back when the POLLY'S and HENDREN'S were living fairly close together the town was actually called HENDREN,KENTUCKY,
It was located just about where MACKVILLE,KY is located today,
The town of HENDREN was obviously gobbled up by other small surrounding towns,
My father JOHN VERNON HENDREN,born in 1904 and died in 2005 was born in MACKVILLE,KY and I have visited his birthplace home and actually walked through the the old dirt floored house with the old stone fireplace he talked about many times in the past,
All I can remember is that my grandfather EBENEZER once told me his father THOMAS S. HENDREN's FARM WAS NOT TOO FAR FROM WHERE THE POLLY family lived at that time,
Once I got the name you sent me of the spouse for JOHN POLLY being MARY VORIS and the fact that she lived in SWITZERLAND,INDIANA I was able to come up with the names of all 12 of their children,
Since all you had was the one name MARK LUTHER POLLY born in 1879 for their family I have since found the other 11 and here they are with their dates of birth,
1-JAMES POLLY BORN 1856 IN INDIANA
2-PERLINA POLLY BORN 1859 IN INDIANA
3-SARAH POLLY BORN 1861 IN INDIANA
4-LUCY POLLY BORN 1864 IN INDIANA
5-CLARA POLLY BORN 1865 IN MISSOURI
6-MARY POLLY BORN 1868 IN MISSOURI
7-WALTER POLLY BORN 1870 IN MISSOUR
8-ELDORA POLLY BORN 1871 IN MISSOURI
9-URSALINA POLLY BORN 1873 IN MISSOURI
10-ROBERT POLLY BORN 1875 IN MISSOURI
11-CLETUS POLLY BORN 1877 IN MISSOURI
12-MARK LUTHER POLLY BORNAUGUST 11,1879
SPOUSE I-EMMA PEARL SHARP
SPOUSE 2-SARAH ANN SEAT
i HAVE DUG BACK INTO MY BOX OF POLLY FAMILY PAPERS IN AN EFFORT TO EXTEND FURTHER WHAT INFORMATION i CAN NOW ADD TO MY FILE ON THEM WITH YOUR ADDED NAMES AND OR INFORMATION YOU HAVE SUPPLIED ME,
ANY LITTLE BIT I COME UP WITH I SHALL BE SURE TO SEND IT ALONG TO YOU,
THANKS ALSO FOR THE PICTURES YOU SENT OF THE POLLY'S
I would really like very much to find some one who could come up with a photo of Virginia Polly the first wife of my Great Grandfather THOMAS S. HENDREN,
Incidentally I do have a photo of old THOMAS if you are interested,
Even have a picture of his second wife who was my great grandmother NANCY ELLEN CARY,she is standing directly in front of the log cabin home old THOMAS had built when they were married,
Will talk more later,
Keep it coming and I shall do the same,
Cousin John
