I just finished reading a section of the book Beyond Damned Quarter by John F Polk Jr which states that John Polk, (eldest son of Robert and Magdalen Polk), first married Jugurtha Hugg and had children William and (Ann) Nancy. William married Priscilla Roberts, and (Ann) Nancy married Edward Roberts. After William died, Priscilla married Thomas Hugg and had child William Hugg who moved to Carlisle, PA and married Margaret Taylor. If I'm understanding this correctly, President Polk's line takes a curve in another direction here ... Is this William Polk in fact William Hugg (husband of Margaret Taylor)?
My 7th great grandfather is Robert Bruce Polk III, and I thought I was a 6th cousin, once removed to President Polk but it looks like his tree moves away from mine at this point. I'm guessing this is where President Polk's tree moves toward the Mecklenburg NC Polks and away from the Somerset Polks. Sure would appreciate some thoughts on this.
