      Eekiel Polk's first wife, Mary Wilson Polk, bore him eight children, including Samuel, the father of James K. Polk, 11th President of the United States. No children of his second wife, Bessie Davis, survived infancy. Some sources contradict Davis as his second wife and instead show a Polly Campbell.Genealogical Notes on Ezekiel Polk By his third wife, Sofia Neely Lennard Polk, he had four children
