About Mary “Polly” Couch
Parents unidentified. Not the same as Mary "Polly" Bradley
The Family History Center of the LDS lists Mary Boone b about 1751, daughter of Samuel A Boone b 17 Apr 1717, and another with father being Squire Boone. You've probably seen Gendex files listing her (with husband John Couch) as daughter of Edward Squire Boone and Jane Van Cleave. Ancestry.com has a link to Mary "Polly" Boone as daughter of Samuel. And a note in September by Barbara Gill, Director of the Boone Society lists Samuel Boone b May 20, 1728 with daughter Mary "Polly", but didn't identify her spouse.
Some doubt has been expressed that she actually was a Boone (because of failure to identify and document her parents?). As quite a few of us with eastern Kentucky roots from a variety of families all lead to the same couple, I suspect Mary Polly was indeed a Boone, but I'm as frustrated as other in not being able to connect her. At least she came from the same New River area where the Boone family lived at that time.

In the obituary of William Lewis, grandson of Mary Polly, it states that she was the sister of the celebrated Daniel Boone.
As a teen, James T. Lewis, descendant of Sarah "Sally" Couch, was taken to the grave of Mary "Polly" Boone on a far m in NC. A small round river rock marked the place.
