She and her husband, Henry, moved quite frequently. In 1850 they lived in Baits Dist, Cobb Co, GA where she was age 27, then in 1860 they lived in Blue Pond, Cherokee Co, AL where she was age 35, then in 1870 they lived in Edwardsville, Cleburne Co, AL where she was age 50, then by 1880 they were living in St. Clair Co, AL where Polly was age 66. They remained in Ragland, St. Clair County, Alabama and in 1900 the census shows her as age 98. Using the census records as a guide, Mary "Polly" Dole Campbell was about age 86 at her death.
They had a house full of children, including Sarah, Caroline, Martha Jane who married William R. Campbell, William who married George Ann Willingham, Jessie Thomas who married Martha J.Cohely, Harriet who married Joe Wood, John C. who married Harriett M. Johnson, Ellen who married Napoleon Bonaparte Gibbs (Bones), and George, who probably died between 1870-1880. Martha Jane and William were married in Cleburne County, Alabama in the early 1870's. Daughter Harriet married Joe Wood in Polk County, Georgia in April of 1876, so the family may have lived there for a short while. Son John married Harriet Johnson in 1879 in St. Clair County, Alabama, so they were living there before the 1880 census was taken.
Her death certificate lists her as Mrs. Pollie Campbell, father William Dole, mother Mary.
