George POLLEY Sr. (1625 - 1683) was Alex’s 9th great grandfather, one of 1,024 in this generation of the Miner line.
George Polley was born about 1625 in Shoreditch, Middlesex, England. His father was John POLLEY. He immigrated from St. Leondard, Shoreditch, Middlesex, England. He was christened in Woburn, Mass. He married Elizabeth WINN on 21 May 1649 in Woburn, Mass. George died 22 Dec 1683 in Woburn, Mass.
Charles E. Banks is the only source found that indicates the origins of George Polly. His book “Topographical Dictionary of 2885 English Emigrants to New England 1620-1650″ says he was from St. Leonard Shoreditch, Middlesex County in England. The ship is listed as the Mayflower. Shoreditch is an area in the north east section of London. McArthur asserts that George Polly was in Woburn before 1649. That would seem to be borne out by the presence of the Winn family as early as eight years before Polley.
Elizabeth Winn was born about 1628 in England. Her parents were Edward WINN and Joanna SARGENT. She came to America with her parents and at least one brother named Joseph. Joseph is documented as being in America as early as 1642. Another brother of Elizabeth, Increase Winn, is documented as being the first recorded birth in Woburn, Massachusetts, on 5 Dec 1641. A sister, Ann, married Moses Cleveland, a direct ancestor of Grover Cleveland. Thus, all Pollys (or Polleys) who trace their ancestry to George Polly of Woburn can properly claim, through Edward Winn, relationship to our 22nd and 24th president. Also, a brother of Elizabeth, Increase Winn, is a direct ancestor of Herbert Hoover, the 31st president. Elizabeth died on 2 May 1695 in Woburn, Mass.
