Biography

Polly was born in 1794, possibly to William Ivey and Ann Parris. It should be noted that the 1850 census record states her birthplace is Tennessee, not North Carolina.

She married in 1829 to Bennett Massengill, son of Warren Henry Massengill and Mary Cobb. She was about 35 years old and was his second wife. They had at least 7 children together:

  1. James Calvin Massengill
  2. George Washington Massengill
  3. Elizabeth Massengill
  4. Hiram David Massengill
  5. J M Massengill
  6. Sarah M Massengill
  7. Harriet Ann Massengill
  • Fact: Residence (1850) Claiborne county, Claiborne, Tennessee

Polly passed away after 1850. A death year of 1882 was entered in the data field with no supporting documentation. Census records after 1850 cannot be found.
