Johns-319 and Polk-279 appear to represent the same person because: Mary Johns was first married to Mr. Polk, John Smith's wife was also deceased . Clear Duplicate.
Mary Johns was born in what is now called Marion County, SC; therefore, she could not have birth records in a church in Bristol, England. These need to be researched. I do not have an ancestry membership, or I would do it.
The information attached for U.S. Sons of The American Revolution Application is completely different person. This person fought in the Korean Conflict and was from Ohio! Our John Smith fought in The American Revolution and was from South Carolina.
Johns-319 and Polk-279 appear to represent the same person because: the Polk name has no significance, nor does the profile have any information. Should be merged into Johns-319
Polk-279 and Johns-319 do not represent the same person because: These are different families who lived in different counties in SC. Also, daughter (Sarah) of Polk-279 was born 1737, daughter (Sarah) of Johns-319 was born 1751.
