Marriage 1 JEMIMA KELSO b: 15 APR 1776 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania

Married: 12 JUN 1799 in Green Co., KY 3

Note: The book "Green County Marriage Records 1793-1836" shows a marriage bond exists for William Polly and Jemimy Kelsey on 12 June 1799. They had consent of her father Robert Kelso. Witnesses included Samuel Kelso and Francis Emerson. The "Kelsey" name is an error on the bond and I have seen the Kelso family traced several generations back.

According to the Adair County tax records of 1806 David and Nancy lived along Crocus Creek. Living close by them on Crocus Creek were David’s brothers and their families: 1) William and Jemima (Kelso) Polley; William was born December 6, 1776 in Virginia or Kentucky while Jemima was born March 21, 1779 in Buck County, Pennsylvania. William and Jemima were married on June 12, 1799 in Barren County, Kentucky. 2) James and Sara (Ford) Polley. James and Sara/Sally were married on March 4, 1805. It seems that Sara and Nancy were sisters. James, the youngest of the three, was born in about 1786. David’s mother and father, John and Susannah Polley, also lived close by. The three Polley families moved together from Adair County, Kentucky to Butler County, Ohio sometime during the year of 1806-1807. Here David and Nancy purchased land and continued to rear their growing family.
