  • Notes 
    • 1878 Atlas says he settled there in 1840 which would be either the year of his birth or a year after which would conflict with his younger brother being born in Brantford so it likely means 1890.

      1864 Robert and James Polley: Concession 7. Lot 1, 200 acres. Value recorded as 1600. * 1865 is the first year that father and all sons are listed as property owners.

      1869 James Polley: Concession 7. Lot 1, 50 acres. Value of each parcel recorded at 400

      James Polley - 29 years of age, 5 people living in his household. [6, 8]
