Notes
General:
The death certificate of her son William Duncan Polk establishes that William H. Polk married Mary Emerson.

In the 1850 census, after the death of her father, Mary E. Emerson (15, Tn) is in the household of James L. Smith (44, Farmer) in Hardin Co., Tennessee, District 3. The previous census entry is for Michael E. Polk (29), who is probably a relative of Mary's future husband.
