Polly Stafford married 1st: Bailie Butler 2nd: Laurence Manning Anderson 3rd: Richmond Darwin Mary "Polly" Stafford first married Colonel Bailey Clifton Butler. After Col. Butler's death in 1842, Mary "Polly" Stafford Butler married Laurence Manning Anderson. After Lawrence Anderson's death in 1848, Mary "Polly" married Richard JR Darwin. Polly's son, was named Baly Butler on the 1860 TN census and at age 17, was living in Richmond Darwin's household which means that Polly was with her first husband right up to 1843. It is estimated that she married Richmond sometime after 1850, allowing for some interval between the three marriages. One can trace Mary Stafford's 3rd husband, Richmond Darwin's movements with the help of the census records for his household, as well as those for his children's families, from which we know that his third son, Leroy, was born in 1828 while the family was still living in Jackson Co., TN. Shortly after the birth of Leroy, Richmond Darwin moved south across the Tennessee river to Morgan Co., AL, where he is listed on the 1830 census, with his wife, three sons and what appears to be three daughters though it is probable that the female, aged 15-20, is probably a domestic servant or possibly a relative as she was not enumerated previously on the 1820 TN census. It would seem that Richmond Darwin was not satisfied with his home in Alabama probably because it had become too small for his expanding family and by the mid 1830s, he moved again this time north to Illinois, where he purchased land in August 1836 in Randolph County. Richmond and his eldest son, John Granville Darwin, are listed in separate households on the 1840 census and while his three sons were to remain with their respective families in Illinois and are listed there on the 1850 census, Richmond once again settled up and is next found to be resident in St. Mary's Parish, LA, where he is listed with the family of his daughter, Elizabeth M. Darwin. After all Richmond Darwin's travels looking for greener pastures, Richmond finally completed the circle and returned to Jackson Co., TN, where he is listed with his second wife, Mary Stafford, at Butlers Landing on both the 1860 and 1870 TN census. By 1880, Richmond was living in the household of his youngest daughter, Margaret (Darwin) Dale, in Clay Co., TN. http://darwintern.org/getperson.php?personID=I1052&tree=01 References: Dero A.
