>QRYTEXT: I am attempting to identify the parents of John POLK who lived in
>Burke County from 1778 to 1796, when he dropped out of sight. John POLK
>would have been born by at least 1755. He is listed, with his family, on
>the 1790 US Census of Burke County. I have identified his sons: William
>Polk (1775-1844), Richard Polk (1777-1837), John Polk (1786-aft.1850) and
>Joseph Lee Polk (1788-1868). There may have been a daughter named Jane
>Polk (1779-1870), who married William Thomas Gardner. All of the above
>sons started arriving in middle TN by 1800.
>
>John POLK appears not to have a direct connection to the Polks in
>Mechlenburg County or Anson County, NC, during the period.
>
>Also, a Daniel Polk arrived in Burke County in 1796 and lived in the
>county until 1799, when he too dropped from the record.
>
>I would appreciate any help concerning John POLK and his family connections.
