    Does not appear with his father and Grandfather in the 1916 census, maybe he and his mother had come back to the US by then.

    J W POLLEY had 3 Great Grandchildren and one Grandson at the time of his death, this is almost certainly the Grandson and therefore it must be his children who are the 3 Great Grandchildren.

Nancy was listed as an apartment manager in 1957, but beginning in 1959(after Leslie's death) she was a nurse for an R. L. Stephens. She was no longer listed after 1963 and there was no obituary listed for her..
