- Mary "Polly" Axsom married Samuel Wilkins about 1832.
Samuel Wilkins bought 150 acres of land from Joseph Steelman in 1839 located on the "waters of Dutchman's Creek." The property description sounds much like the description of Joseph Axsom's 150 acres located in the same area.
Samuel died in late 1852 or early 1853.
After Samuel's death, his property was sold to Archibald Comer, but Mary retained lifetime rights to her dower of 51 acres.
Mary "Polly" remained a widow until her death.
Mary's burial place is unknown, but she and Samuel were members of Courtney Baptist Church in Yadkin County, North Carolina. It is possible they are buried in the church cemetery in unmarked graves.
