My source for this information is a book, DESCENDANTS OF ALLEN ROBNETT IN AMERICA, PART IV by Irma Matthews Plott. The book was found in the Wayne Co, TN library, Waynesboro, TN by a fellow Pollock researcher, Imogene Parsley, July 13, 1999. Jean mailed me photocopies of pertinent pages. But, there is no documentation, index or pages numbers. I spent all day today in the NC Archives going through the 1850-1920 Wayne Co, TN censuses to verify the information.

Bradley Halford was sheriff of Lawrence County in 1822 and was later a state legislator for Lawrence county for 2 years. A brother of my great grandfather (James Marion Halford) married Rebecca Elvira Crockett, a daughter of Davy Crockett. I am “assuming” that the Halfords and Crocketts may have lived in close proximity to each other.

\nMy great grandmother was Native American and part of the Great Cherokee nation. She was born in Louisa, KY in 1864. Her birth name was Polly Jane MULLINS born to Nancy MULLINS. Her father died and her mother remarried a BAKER. I have been told by my mother\/aunts that she was full Cherokee. I know that she died in NM in 1954 with her married name of Hurley. She lived in MN and later Colorado. I would like to know about her, but have hit many brick walls in trying to find anything but her death certificate. I only know that after my husband died she married a Henry MOON in Lajunta, CO Thank you for any help. I am sure there is not any info on her, but I was just hoping. I hate to have her great heritage die as no one in the whole family cares but me.
