I haven’t found a marriage record for Miss Mollie and Henry Wilson Polk yet, but she is listed as his wife in the 1910 Union County, Marshville census. The oldest child in that census is 10 years old, so she may have been the child of James M Long.
There is much more digging to find the rest of Miss Mollie’s story. So maybe you will hear about her at a later date.
