Biography
Mary Polly was born about 1808. She passed away about 1874.
Research Notes
The marriage document with Christopher lists a person named William McNutt, which could be her father. On Ancestry, folks list Joseph Ward McNutt and Elizabeth Ward as her parents. There is no real evidence to support that at the moment. I am leaving her parents as unknown for now until we can find more evidence.
