Notes:

birth: WFT #2:2108 has 28 Nov 1762; WFT #3:2188 has 28 Nov 1762

children: WFT #2:2108 lists only two: Nancy and Shubel P.; so does WFT #3:2188

The descendants in WFT #2:2108 and #3:2188 appear to be identical; probably from the same WFT submitter.

"The History of Woodstock, Connecticut," by Clarence Winthrop Bowen

GBFA p.58: "untraced; but could she have been the "Polly" who md. Shubael Short in 1782?"

WCB: Apparently we don't know exactly who the Polly Barney was who md. Shubael Short. She was probably either #328 Polly -- but Mr. Preston wasn't positive that there was a daughter Polly in this family -- or she was #348 Mary Barney, dau. of Benaiah and Anna (Goff) Barney (p.58 of GBFA). So, lacking other evidence, I am linking Shubael Short with #348 Mary Barney. But we don't even know that he married "Miss" Polly Barney -- she may have been Mrs. Polly (_____) Barney.

Descendants on "World Family Tree" 2:2108; gives her birth as 28 Nov 1762. Still doesn't solve the problem as to who her parents were.
