She was previously married to James Cogburn, with whom she had a son and two daughters. The details of the Cogbutn divorce are unknown. It happened before 1840; because Polly was enumerated as head of the Cogburn household with one son and two daughters. Polly was a remarkable woman for her times, not just for her divorce but also for her second marriage to a man about a decade her junior. The photo was thought to be that of the Noah Frady,(one of her sons) family; but there are too many young men and women. If a Frady family it is more likely that of John and Polly.

If this is truly a photographic record of Polly Lance Cogburn Frady, one can see the strong character in her face.
