• Notes

  no issue but must have adopted (may not have formally) Sarah 'Sallie' Polk Jetton who is a grandniece. I think her parents are Robert B. Jetton and Mary S. Childress who were married Jan. 7, 1840 in Rutherford Co., Tennessee. She lived with her great aunt Sarah Childress Polk for over 30 years and is referred to on the 1880 census as daughter. This may not have been a formal adoption. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=spot54&id=I36332
