About Samuel Polk
Samuel Polk, was a slaveholder, successful farmer and surveyor of Scots-Irish descent.
While Jane was a Presbyterian, Samuel's father was a deist, so when James was taken to be baptized, Samuel refused to declare his belief in Christianity, and the minister refused to baptize the child. In 1803, the majority of Polk's relatives moved to the Duck River area in what is now Maury County, Middle Tennessee; however, Polk's family waited until 1806 to follow.
The family grew prosperous, with Samuel Polk becoming one of the leading planters of the area as well as a county judge.
In 1806 Samuel moved his family to the fertile valley of the Duck River. There he both farmed and did surveying.
