Notes |
William Polk II had no Revolutionary War service as a soldier, being over age
50 when the war began. Some DAR applications have named William II
as having served n a supporting role in the Revolutionary War.
He married before 1750. No records have been found naming William
Polk's wives. There was a 90-100 year old female in the household of
Nancy Shelby in 1830, in Anson Co., NC. It is possible that she was
the widow of William. The last record found for William was in
Cabarrus Co., NC in 1802.
The Mecklenburg Signers... 'A William Polk may have married a Miss
Spratt, sister of Susan Spratt, wife of Thomas Polk, William's
brother.... Before 1745, when William was 17, he first married Miss
Spratt. About 1750, when William was 22, he married second, Catherine
Sterns, in North Carolina.'
