Biography

Polly (Ingalls) Eastman was born in New York.

Polly (Ingalls) Eastman was an Illinoisan.

1776-1779: Darius Ingalls and Lodema Lee were married on 25 Jan 1776,^[1] in Pomfret, Windham County, Connecticut.^[2] They had nine children (Parker, Deliverance (aka Delia), Mary (aka Polly), Sarah (aka (Sally), Henry, Alvin, Anna, Loderma and Darius), two of whom were born in Pomfret: Polly's brother, Parker, on 9 Aug 1777,^[3] and, as confirmed by town records^[2] and otherwise,^[4] her sister, Delia, on 22 Apr 1779.

1782-1790: By 28 Jun 1782, Polly's family had moved 80 miles northwest of Pomfret, to Wilmington, Windham County, Vermont, in the southeastern corner of that state, along the Connecticut River. That they moved there is known because Polly was born in Wilmington on that date.^[5] Polly's sister, Sarah (aka Sally), was then born in Wilmington on 23 May 1784.^[6] By 1790, Polly's family had moved again, this time 60 miles northeast, to Weathersfield, Windsor County, Vermont, where the 1790 US Census shows her father living with five unnamed females and one boy under age 16, those unnamed persons being Lodema, her daughters, Delia, Polly and Sally, and Parker, then about 13.^[7]

1800: By 1800, Polly had married Amos Eastman and they, her parents, and her brother Parker all were living in separate households in Swanton, Franklin County, Vermont (about 100 miles or so northwest of Wilmington, and a few miles from Quebec, Canada); a household consisting of her, Amos and their first child, a boy, a household consisting of her parents and six other unnamed persons, and a household consisting of Parker and his wife.^[8]

1850 Polly Eastman (67) was enumerated living with her daughter Laura F Lott (38) and her family in Waddams, Stephenson, Illinois; husband Thomas Harmon Lott (40) and their children Phebe M. (7) and Thomas (5), both children born in Illinois.^[9]
