His will names daughters Polly and Elizabeth (and gives them abt 200 dollars worth of property each) so I guessed which 2 daughters (from the group of 5 from the 1820 census) were them. (SV-252 & SV-404 pg 432)
1870 She is mentioned in her father, John Cress’, will. He left her $200 worth of property. (SV-416)
