About Charles Bruce Polk
Charles, appears to have bent his course to the westward branches of the Potomac, where he embarked in trade with the Indians accumulating a competency before his death in 1753. In this trade he became thoroughly acquainted with the Indian character and acquired their friendship. Charles appears to have married near his frontier station. What was the name of his wife is not certainly known, but the strong inference is that it was Christian Matson, for in his will of March 19, 1753, he calls her 'Christian my dearly beloved wife,' and makes her and Ralph Matson (presumably her brother) executors of his will, his sons all being too young at that time for such duties. Some of the Matsons accompanied Capt. Chas. Polk to Kentucky and Indiana."
