There is a dilemma with two Jesse Felts who married Polly Felt. No firm proof given.
Jesse Smith, son of Ezra and Phebe Walcott Smith
b. 25 Feb. 1784 Nelson, Cheshire New Hampshire
m. Polly Felt 12 Feb. 1806 Mass., NH or Jefferson Co., NY
This Jesse per Haddon's Biographies in Jefferson Co., NY resided in Smithville,
Jefferson Co. died in Peru, Indiana 7 Jan. 1867.
Jesse Smith, no parents known
b. 25 Feb. 1784 Cheshire, NH
m. Polly Felt
Descendants state that she was born in Ontario Co., NY. Parents unknown.
This couple resided in Ionia, Michigan. he died there 26 April 1853
These two families are very mixed up! It is proven that the Jesse Smith who died 26 April
1853 whose wife was a Polly, died in Ionia, Michigan and is the descendant's ancestor.
Whether this Polly is a Felt could be debatable. The living descendant is Charles Rose
chuckrose(a)comcast.net and he would welcome responses.
