Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Mary "Polly" Harrell Boatright was born in 1809 in Gallatin Co, Illinois; died in 1863 in Parker Co, Texas; was buried in Hill Cem, Parker Co, Tennessee.

    Notes:

    Though records show her as Mary Harrell, it appears from several sites that seem to be well studied that she was a Boatright. Was Harrell a middle name, a 1st husband's name? Have not yet found an explanation.

    Buried:
    Mary was buried in an unmarked grave in the Hills Cemetery in Parker County. Some relatives believe that Willoughby was also buried there.
    A great many years ago, two great-grandchildren of Willoughby and Polly (Harrell) Sparks, Frank Sparks and Segonia (Sparks) Pritchett ,found Mary's (Polly's) grave in Hills Cemetery. It had a headstone marker then which read "Polly Sparks, 1813." When they revisited the cemetery the following year for the purpose of replacing the marker, someone had removed it.
