  1.  Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1849, by J. K. McGowell in the
  Clerks Office of the United States in and for the Western District of Tennessee, A
  Genealogical Trace of the Polk Family, Genealogical Society of the Church of Jesus
  Christ of Latter Day Saints, Salt Lake City, UT.,, General Pedigree File No. 224, entitled
  "McGowell, J. K., A Genealogical Trace of the Polk Family.", 'Robert Polk and
  Magdalen had Eight Children, Six Sons and  two Daughters, .....Margaret."  This name is
  incorrect and should be Martha, according to other sources; see notes under Margaret
  Polk for discussion of Martha and Margaret.

  3.  William Harrison Polk, Polk Family and Kinsmen,  (1912, by Bradley and Gilbert Inc.
  of Louisville, KY.), pp. 92-94, "Capt. Robert Bruce Polk and his wife Magdalen (Tasker-
  Porter) Polk's family was composed of seven sons and two daughters, according to all
  family traditions and other evidence.  These two daughters, as shown by Robert Bruce
  Polk's will of 1699, were Ann and Martha.  All the old compilers of the Polk family
  records and the 1849 Polk Tree give the name Margaret instead of Martha, and this error
  was accepted until the discovery a few years since of Capt. Robert's will, showing
  daughters Ann and Martha, but no Margaret."  NOTE:  Part of the above is incorrect in
  that Ann is NOT shown in Robert's will at all.  Also, see notes for discussion of Martha
  vs. Margaret name.

  daughter Martha be it little or much....."  Margaret is not mentioned in the will at all.  See
