• "infant" It is not known if this child were male or female, all that is known is that in the 1900 Clay County, Tn Census Polly is listed as having one child dead. All other children are accounted for, therefore it is assumed that there was at least one infant death which is not uncommon. Although, I cannot say for certain, I assume that the grave amongst those of the McCarter family in the Whitley Cemetery, in Red Boiling Springs, Tn just might be the grave of this child.
