I am hoping you are still interested in this. My ancestor is Mathias Payne. Contact me
if so. I am beginning to believe the Polly Miller with her 4 children in the household of
Mathias Payne in 1860 Jackson Co, IN, is not the same as the Polly Cummins who married
Martin Miller. That Mary is with Martin Miller in Decatur county, IA in 1860. Mathias
later married Polly Miller (in 1867), and she is with him in 1870 Brownstown, Jackson, IN.
I traced her 2 daughters, but they reveal nothing of their mother so far. The 2 sons I
haven't located yet. I think people have mixed the two up. The Polly (Mary) who
married Martin in 1842 had children from 1844-1860. She was born in KY. The Polly Miller
with Mathias had children from 1851-1858 and was born in Indiana. Also, Find a Grave lists
Polly buried in Cummins Cemetery, Salt Creek Twp. I have the listing for that cemetery,
and did not find her there. The Mary, wife of Martin is buried in Miller Cem, Decatur Co,
IA, died 6 Ju!
n 1873. They are about the same age, which doesn't help. If anyone has figured this
out, I would appreciate a note. Thanks, Fran
