      ....."After Joshua (Sr.) died (before 1810), Fanny's children sued her in order to force her to carry out the terms of Joshua's will--Halifax VA, Plea Book 29 p. 189, 315. Another daughter of Joshua & Fanny mentioned in that court case was Polly. The rest of you may have already figured this out, but it just occurred to me that the Polly mentioned in the law suit must have been the Mary "Polly" who married James Harding Morefield in 1816. James & Polly's oldest son was named Joshua. Well, duh... James & Polly were in Rowan, NC in 1830, in Clark, IN in 1840 and in St. Clair, IL in 1850. They also named a daughter Frances, so maybe there were no lasting bad feelings toward
      Polly's mother."
