• Notes

  [payton.ftw] This name was given as Bessie's Father in a letter sent to Vickie Payton Christopher from Aunt Janette or Rosella. She also gave birth date as April 2, 1837 and death date as April 1, 1917. We also have Death Certificate of William Henry Polsgrove, (which Lisa Horton copied in Kentucky) - William Henry Polsgrove died on March 31, 1917 and his birth date is listed as April 1, 1837. It also listed his parents as Jacob Polsgrove and Janice Harrod ---this certificate was completed by Mrs. H.R. Lewis ( we believe this to be America Polsgrove who was married to Hugh Rodman Lewis). His occupation is listed as a retired Farmer on death certificate. Cause of death looks to be Emphesyma. Buried at Frankfort Cemetery. In 1850 Census, Farmer, Kentucky - William Polsgrove is listed as 10 years old and 1 of 4 children of Jacob Polsgrove and Jane. In 1880 Census William Polsgrove is listed as 40 yrs. old (which means a birth date appros. 1838) in Kentucky, married to Anna Virginia (Wolf). They also have children, one a daughter named America. (too early for Bessie to be born yet).
