Census

1870 Census. Polley (spelled Pollie on this record) was living in Roane County, Tennessee with her spouse, Moses (spelled Mose on this record) along with Becca, John and Julia Hughes. They were both 65 at the time so I'm thinking these are their grandchildren? Next door to them was Jas (?) T. Duncan and Elizabeth Duncan, both in their 50's. Note: I feel certain these are some of Polley's relatives).
