Notes |
- Nothing more is known about Polly Dials until she is shown on her son Absalom's marriage record in 1827 in Pike County, Kentucky. From Marriage Records of Pike County, Kentucky 1822-1865 compiled by John Jay Johnson:
ABSALOM DIALS married Nancy Maynard Oct. 17, 1827. Dau. of William; SON OF POLLY.

Since John Dials' mother-in-law's name was Elizabeth, the Mary on the last line is probably Polly Dials. Polly was a popular nickname for Mary. The age is wrong by about 9 years, but that doesn't mean much. It's not uncommon to find inaccurate information on the early censuses.
