Mary "Polly" Leake, b. abt. 1769, was the d/o James and Mary Leake. Mary
"Polly" m1. Henry Darnell 3/9/1785 in Frederick Co., MD; they had two
children, Benjamin and Elizabeth Darnell. Mary "Polly" Leake Darnell then
m2. Samuel Lee Martin 7/1/1797 in Washington Co., KY. Their last child was
born in 1814, when Mary "Polly" would have been about 45 years old.
Martin Vessells Cissell and Jamed Edmond Cissell were indeed brothers who
married Mary Catherine Martin and Celia Ann Martin, sisters.
While we're on this family, I only have two children for James Edmond
Cissell and Celia Ann Martin: (1) John Thomas Cissell/Cecil, b. 5/17/1836,
d. 4/9/1857 in Marion Co., KY (bur. St. Charles Borromeo Cem.), and (2)
Mary Ann Cissell/Cecil, b. 8/15/1840, m. James William McCauley (known as
William) 1/26/1857 at St. Francis Xavier in Raywick, Marion Co., KY; Mary
Ann d. 2/20/1896 in Marion Co., KY and is buried at St. Francis Xavier Cem.
Does anyone know of any additional children for this couple?

I do have a question on the parents of Mary Catherine Martin who
married Martin V. Cissell and Celia Ann Martin who married James Edmond
Cissell. I had understood this was a case of brothers marrying
sisters. Parents were Smuel Lee Martin and Mary Polly
Darnall.(Lampkin) So was Polly nee Leake (Leek)
Are these her marriages? Henry Darnall and Mary Leek 3 Sept. 1785 Fred.

She would have been pretty old to have kids in 1809 and 1810. Is there
a marriage record for Polly Leek and Samuel Martin? Thanks, Donna
