Biography

Polly (Ward) Phillips was part of a Southern Pioneer Family.

Polly (Ward) Phillips migrated from North Carolina to TN.

Name: Viney /Ward/^[1][2] Husband: Benjamin Ward

The 1850 and 1860 Census enumerations both give her name as Mary. She also used the name of Mary, Polly and Viney and all names are used in the sources for them are included. The marriages record from the Tennessee State Library and Archives has her name listed as Polly .She is found in the 1850 census residing in Anderson Co., TN (they lived near the county border with Campbell County). She is listed with her husband, John Phillips (age 30 years). She is listed as Mary Phillips (age 30 years), and has children: Clarissa (age 11 years); Elizabeth (age 8 years); Susy (age 6 years); Milton (age 4 years); and William (age 4 months). Listed in the household adjacent to John Phillips is his brother-in-law, William Ward, in whose household resided his mother (and Viney's), Catherine (Harmon) Ward.

John Phillips died in 1852 and his widow is found in Anderson Co., TN in the 1860 census enumeration as the head of her own household. She is again identified as Mary Phillips (age 39 years) with children: Milton (15 years); Sarah (12 years); William (9 years); and Claibourn (7 years).

So, the Federal Census records give her name as Mary while her tombstone records her name as Viney. Viney was a name that was used more familiarly among family members for her stated her modern-day family members descended from her. I saw records that states her name was Mary Viney (Ward) Phillips. As I mentioned previously, I have found Viney given and as Polly as is in her marriage record.

The 1850 and 1860 census supports the name Mary while the tombstone supports the name Viney. Family oral tradition indicates it was Mary Viney. I used both names Viney and Polly as found on her records along with the name Mary.
