| THE POLSLEY FAMILY STORY: |
This is NOT an concentrated study of the POLSLEY Family, we are only displaying this family as it
relates to the POLSLEY Family of Page Co., IA.
In the absence of absolute proof, circumstantial evidence,
both legally and genealogically, has been allowed in the following
conclusions and will be conceded when any other such proof of an opposite
is provide which also is logical and reasonable and not opposed by
any other evidence, that
 John H. POLSLEY, (1793-1879 age 85yrs) is the 2nd Son of
Jacob & Margaret (Haymond) POLSLEY of Fairmont, Marion Co., now West Virginia.
