"Melson Family in America" erroneously states Polly Gordy married Elijah Williams. The "Salisbury Advertiser" obituary for Benjamin Elliott (see notes there) clearly states that his first wife was the sister of Elijah Gordy, Esq. which would place her here without doubt.
Mary married Benjamin Elliott, son of Jacob Elliott and Sarah H.* Freeny, on 19 Jun 1829 in Sussex Co., DE.1 (Benjamin Elliott was born on 17 Dec 1808 in Sussex Co., DE,3 6 7 8 9 died on 16 Mar 1883 in Delmar, Wicomico Co., MD 3 10 and was buried about 19 Mar 1883 in Benjamin Elliott Cemetery, Delmar, Wicomico Co., MD 3.)
