From the North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000 for Polly Cudworth D.A.R. Lineage Book NSDAR, we see that Polly Cudworth married David Ramsdell in 1802. I also found that David Ramsdell also married Prudence (Cudworth) and right after Prudence died, he married her sister Polly Cudworth. This link shows Prudence and then Polly as the wives of David Ramsdell: https://www.ancestry.com/mediaui-viewer/collection/1030/tree/62111809/person/48524231902/media/2f1a064b-14c0-4d1d-b60a-87725c954877?_phsrc=Eqh1811&usePUBJs=true&galleryindex=13&sort=-created
