Having difficulty finding the parents of Mary Polly who married William Parris. Have run across the name Adrocas Ezell as the father but sources not given. Does anyone recognize this name or know anything about Mary Polly's parents?

Didn't know there were more than one! My Mary Polly was born abt 1800 and married William Parris. I think her mother was Adorcas Ezell but have questions concerning the father and whether or not the parents of Mary Polly were even married. Thanks for your response.

Hi
This is 12 years late but I know the parents of Mary Polly Ezell (confirmed with DNA to what I am about to say) Mary Polly's mother was Adorcas Caroline Ezell born 1792 in Virginia, most likely Brunswick. By the age of 6 she moved to Union County Sc (Browns Creek) with her father William. At the age of 15 Dorcas found herself pregnant with the neighbor boy Ellis Palmer also 15 at the time. Her family moved her to Spartanburg to stay with her Uncle James Ezell. There she stayed and raised Mary Polly alone without any assistance or acknowledgement from Ellis Palmer. Dorcas died 11/23/1880 in Chesnee, Spartanburg Co SC.

Ellis became a local Judge in Union Co, SC. I have not found proof that he had any dealings with Mary Polly or Dorcas after she moved to Spartanburg. Dorcas never married and only had the one child.

Ellis and Dorcas are my 5th great grandparents and Mary Polly and William Parris are my 4 great grandparents.
thanks
