 Anne 'Nancy' (-----) b. c 1760
Marriage*circa 1792Capt. William Polk (shoemaker) married Anne 'Nancy' (-----) circa 1792 at tract A43, Wachapreague, Accomack Co, VA. By 1790 Sabra Polk and her sons Nathaniel and Robert had all died, because William alone executed a mortgage on the 275 acres, saying that it had reverted to him upon the death of Nathaniel, and four years later William and his second wife Anne sold 200 acres to John Garrison. She was not named in her mother Sarah Bradford's will dated 3 Oct 1794 and instead Sarah named her Polk granddaughters.43
