Mary Polly Spurlock Gave Birth to 3 Babies in One Year

Mary ‘Polly’ Spurlock Brown
1 January 1800 GA - 12 Jan 1888 MS
Daughter of Allen Spurlock & Frances Traylor



Mary ‘Polly’ Spurlock was born 1 January 1800 in Oglethorpe, Georgia. She married Edward Stewart Brown about 1835. Together they lived in Amite County, Mississippi where, in 1836, Mary gave birth to three children. On 26 January 1836 she gave birth to her first child, Allen Moses Brown [my 2nd great grandfather]. On 15 December 1836 she gave birth to twin girls, Martha M. Brown and Mary Magdelene Brown. [They would later have two more children.]

I have three children born over a span of five years. I cannot imagine having three children in one year! At this time I don’t know of any family living in the area but I hope there was someone who lent a hand.
