Individual Details
Mary Agnes (Polly) Mullins
(1765 - 24 Jul 1854)
MARRIAGE: According to affidavits made by Mary Mullins Polly, Letcher Co. Court, March 1850 and 1851, she was married to Edward Polly in Pittsylvania Co, VA in 1784 by a Baptist minister named Bailey.
BIOGRAPHY: Mary Mullins Polly executed a deed in connection with Edward Polly for 250 acres of land conveyed by them to one Daniel Witcher in the county of Pittsylvania signed in the names of Edward & Agnes Polly...executed as the then wife of Edward Polly to whom she was lawfully married in the yr 1784. Her name has been alternately called & written Mary and Agnes though most generally called Mary. Mary and Edward lived in Pittsylvania Co. for the space of about 8 yrs after marriage...about the yr 1792...they came to reside in the state of Tennessee where they continued to live together for the space of 30(?)yrs., at the end of which time they came to reside in Letcher Co. KY.
BIOGRAPHY: Mary Agnes Mullins' brother Joshua served with Edward Polly in the Revolution. Apparently they were good friends.
BIOGRAPHY: Joshua married Bess Turley, in Pittsylvania Co., VA on March 7, 1786. I have a copy of the marriage bond, for fifty pounds, made by Joshua and his brother James to Patrick Henry Esq. Joshua and James Turley, Bess' father signed the document by making their mark. Whether Joshua and Edward left for TN at the same time I do not know, but that is most likely, since migrating in family groups was the common practice. Sometime later in TN, Bess died, and Joshua married Ann Robinson.
BIOGRAPHY: Several of these relatives and friends and their families left
Virginia for Tennessee sometime in the 1790's. The first five children of
Edward and Mary Agnes were born in VA. They lived in TN for some thirteen yrs. by 1805, they had moved into what was then, Floyd Co., KY. Most of the children were still at home in Floyd Co. at the time of the 1810 census. In the Floyd Co. court reports is the following item dated Mar 1814: "Report of the road from Charles Lewis to the mouth of Rockhouse received. Ordered that Edward Polly be appointed supervisor of the same." It should be noted that the great majority of Pollys who are descendants of Edward spell their name without the (e). I have always used the (e) as did all of my father's brothers.
Accordingly I have used that spelling although it is not the way that is most
common. (information from Joel Logsdon).

They are buried on the Hall/Polly Cemetery at Mayking, Kentucky. Edward Polly served 18 months in the Virginia Line during the Revolutionary War. In the widow's pension application of Mary Agnes Mullins, she stated she md Edward Polly "in the year of 1784...in the county of Pittsylvania, State of Virginia, and that the ceremony was performed by a Baptist minister named Bailey" and "she is the same identical person who executed a deed in connection with Edward Polly for 250 acres of land conveyed by them to one David Witcher in the county of Pittsylvania" and "her name has been alternately called & written Mary and Agnes though most generally of late called Mary..."

However, an Edward Polly appears on the 1810 Floyd County, Kentucky Census." And "it would appear they lived in Tennessee for 13 years, not 30 years. Edward Polly Sr. is shown on Perry County, Kentucky tax lists for 1821 through 1842." [Letter from Gwen Boyer Bjorkman] Edward's brother David Polly also appears on the 1810 Floyd County, Kentucky Census.

On 22 Oct. 1816, he registered a land warrant for 50 acres on the North Fork of the Kentucky River in Floyd County---this does not represent the actual date of settlement which in most cases was earlier. This area became Perry County in 1821 and then Letcher County in 1842. At the November 1823 Perry County, Kentucky term of court, Edward Polly was paid $15 for keeping Mary Mullins for 1824. There is an Edward Polly on the 1806 Kanawha County, Virginia Tax List along with Henry Polly. The surname Polly was also spelled Pauley and Polley. Edward and Mary Agnes had the following children:
