Hi, John
I worked on this line several years ago, had correspondence with a cousin of yours.Problem here is that the family of Marion Stafford Polk cannot be located ( cannot find him - appears no one else has, either) in Florida census in 1900 or 1910, so really difficult to take the Polk line back before the first census where I found Marion, 1920.Marion died in Hillsborough Co., FL., July 1948.I told the cousin back then that the death cert ought to be secured to see if it lists the parents.Have you secured Marion's death cert.?Once parents known, I may have data.
I just looked again for 1900 and 1910 census for Marion Stafford Polk, Florida, using a variety of searches, still not located.I checked Polk, Poke, Pope with Soundex variations; also searched only for first names and approx. DOBs.Something wrong big time in indexing with the surname, it appears.
Any family lore about Marion, perhaps a different birth surname, not Polk by birth?Perhaps Polk from another person?Perplexing situation.Bill Polk, Kansas City, MO.
