Her name is consistently spelled POLINA in the all of the old records I have seen. Her maiden name was really spelled Chauncey. The name, Paulina Chancy Priest, on the monument in Loudonville Cemetery, is probably how her children and grandchildren remembered her. In the 1850 census of Holmes county she is living with her daughter Sarah parker, wife of Josephus, and she was recorded as Philen Priest. Perhaps the census scribe was trying to write Pauline.

She was the daughter of Isaac Chauncey and Jerusha Ward of Massachusetts, who both died in or near Hamilton, Chenango or Madison Co. New York.

She married James Louden Priest 25 Nov. 1790. Some say Pennsyvania, but I think it is more likely New York, or possibly Massachusetts.

Louden Priest and Polina Chauncey had the following known children: 1. William L. Priest b: 16 AUG 1792 2. Philena (Filena) Priest b: 03 OCT 1793 3. Olive Priest b: 20 JAN 1795 4. Daniel C. Priest b: 22 FEB 1797 5. Clarissa (Clara) PRIEST b: 05 FEB 1798 6. Alvin C. Priest b: 17 MAY 1800 7. Eliza Priest b: 05 JUN 1801 8. James Louden Priest b: 10 SEP 1802 9. Isaac Chauncey Priest b: 02 JAN 1804 10. Jonas Priest b: 31 MAR 1805 in New York 11. John Priest b: 25 JAN 1807 12. Sarah Priest b: 11 MAR 1808 13. Paulina Priest b: 11 APR 1812 14. Alonzo (Lonzo) Priest b: 10 MAR 1814

"A centennial biographical history of Richland county, Ohio" states that "Polina (Chauncey) Priest died in 1859, at the age of eighty-six, and there were at that time eighty of her grand and great-grandchildren living."
