  • Notes 
    • The ancestry of William Polk who m. Margaret Taylor has been proven by my research and by DNA testing of proven descendants of this William Polk, along with results of testing of Robert Polk, who m. Magdalen [Tasker] Porter, and whose son William Polk, who m. Ann-Nancy [Knox] Owens, said William shown as the father of William Polk, who m. Margaret Taylor in about everything ever written on the Polks to be incorrect. ... The William Polk who m. Margaret Taylor has no known ancestry at this time. Also, Charles Polke, the Indian Trader, long thought to be a son of the above mentioned William Polk/Ann-Nancy (Knox) Owens, is not a son of that couple, nor is he a brother of William Polk who m. Margaret Taylor. His line is a third and distinct family, separate from Robert Polk/Magdalen (Tasker) Porter, and separate and William Polk who m. Margaret Taylor.
      Three separate and distinct major Polk progenitors - Proven by DNA.
