Notes for this person
The ancestry of Ezekiel Polk is via his father William Polk, then thatWilliam Polk's father, William, and then the progenitors, WilliamPolk/Margaret Taylor (three William Polks in a row). I have donesubstantial work on this ancestry and I am satisfied it is okay, butthis line is the least documented of the Polk lines coming out ofMecklenburg Co., NC., the Polk line of President James K. Polk - Thereis not smoking gun type documentation for the father/son relationshipsbetween the three William Polks. You will likely find all kinds ofinformation on the Internet showing the ancestry of the above WilliamPolk (who m. Margaret Taylor)going back to another William Polk andthen to that William Polk's parents, Robert Polk/Magdalen (Tasker)Porter Polk of Somerset Co., MD. Don't be misled by this! Thisancestry is VERY likely incorrect, has never been proven and I cansupport, with evidence, that it is not correct, despite what the oldPolk genealogies state about this ancestry. Hope this helps. BillPolk, Kansas City, MO.
