Polly Clarke

Abt 1765 - 1835  (~ 70 years)

• Name	Polly Clarke  [1]
  Birth	Abt 1765	Mecklenburg County, Virginia
  Gender	Female
  Death	4 Jul 1835	Alabama
  Notes	Tuck Wilson writes that "Family tradition has it that Polly Clark was a "Bolling". The Bolling family was quite prominent and so although she was a Clark, her grandmother was a Bolling (Penelope) , thus she was known by her famous family name. An important clue to her lineage is that Bolling Clark stood surety for her marriage. Records were destroyed by Tarleton when the British troops burned the Louisa County courthouse." Tuck addes that Bolling Clark's daughter married a Lawson Allen in Halifax Co, VA in 1902.
