Among the older settlers of Clinton County, who came into it when it was a new country, and by degrees have brought it up to its present state of prosperity and success, may be found the name of our subject.He is a resident of Elk River Township, and came to Clinton County in 1858, where he has since made his home.His farm at that time was partly improved, and he purchased and has since added to it until he is now the owner of 200 acres of valuable and productive land. Mr. Polly was born near Albany, N.Y., Sept 29, 1808. His father John was also a farmer, who spent his days in New York. He was a son of Joseph Polly, who enlisted in the Revolutionary War as a Drum Major from Nova Scotia, and served until its close. He died in Danbury, Conn. His parents were English. His wife's maiden name was Hannah Judd, who was born and died in Connecticut. They were honest, upright and industrious. The father of our subject was married in Newtown, Conn., to Lucy Parmalee, a Connecticut lady, who was reared to womanhood and died in her native State. Our subject was the eldest in a family of twelve children and was but a small boy when his parents removed from New York to Connecticut, and when he was thirteen years of age, he was apprenticed to Eli Morgan of Danbury, Conn., to learn the hatter's trade and remained with him for nearly seven years. He afterward returned to New York and went into business with his brother-in-law, Silas Givings, of Herkimer County. He continued with him about seven years, and in the meantime was married, Jan. 27, 1831, to Mary Crowfoot.
