    Looking for more information on Mary Polly Linder (1786) who was married to Robert Knight in 1805. They moved to Wilson County, TN. Her father's name was supposed to have been Nathaniel but that is the basic I have.

    Someone had information she may have had a sister named Charlotte - which means her mother's name could have been Mary.

    Polly had a hard life. Robert was killed in the Creek Wars in the Battle of Emuckfaw, AL, in 1814 and the man who she married later, Archibald Young - took her for the Pension Money & then abandoned her. She later divorced him. I believe she may have remarried.

    I'd like to get information on her background in NC & any information anyone may have or direction you can send me. She would be my GGG grandmother.

    Thank you!
    Charlotte Knight Watkins
