Individual Details

Mary "Polly" Ware

(Abt 1798 - 23 Nov 1828)

Life was not easy in those years though, and (as with all families) James & Caty’s children saw their share of worry and sorrow as well. Their granddaughter Polly Ware (child of Thompson) died very suddenly after the birth of one of her children. In a letter written by his sister Lucy, she wrote, “I suppose you heard Thompson’s daughter Polly Allen died very suddenly. Her child (baby Thompson ) was about 3 or 4 weeks old. She had been quite sick for two weeks, but Mary (her aunt) thought had gotten well. She (Polly) got up in the morning, put on her clothes, walked to the fire, fell sick, was carried to the bed, and died in a few minutes. She left a son; her sister Kitty takes care of it as if it was her own.”
