He then married Lucy, widow of John's brother, James M Polson. After John's death, Lucy married for a third time to George C Brock on Feb 3, 1867 in Macon County, MO.

Lon Davidson and David Polson, two young men engaged in mining coal on Judge Hannah's land, some five miles or more a little north of east from here, were fatally burned by an explosion of powder last Wednesday afternoon. The explosion occurred in a shanty in which the men were living. Polson died Wednesday night and Davidson, it is said, cannot live. Polson is from near Jacksonville, this county, and is a nephew of Judge R F Polson. Davidson is an Englishman, and has only been in the country a few years.
