Research Notes
Polly married on 27 October 1817 to Ephraim Ferrell. They married on the same day as Polly's brother, Elijah Dodson (b 03 Sep 1786, Halifax, VA), who married to Salley Ferrell. Ephraim was brother of Massey & Salley Ferrell (siblings in-law to Polly). Polly's other brother, Stephen (b. 15 Aug 1785, Halifax) married 24 Oct 1808 to Massey Ferrell. So three siblings married three siblings.
