As Priscilla Ingram died relatively young, around age 37, it is possible that Polly White was the second wife of Ellis Travis. This has not, however, been confirmed.

See the other Ellis Travis entry in this database who married Priscilla Ingram pursuant to a Caswell County, North Carolina marriage bond dated 27 February 1836. It is possible that Mary (Polly) White was the second wife of Ellis Travis.

Travis Ellis apparently died before the enumeration of the 1880 census, as a widow Travis (presumably Mary White Travis) was found living with her son in Chariton, Macon County, Missouri. This son, Thomas Henry Travis, purportedly was born 26 November 1847 in North Carolina, and died 10 March 1928 in Buffalo, Pike County, Missouri.
