Polk Taylor
text:
Reverend Polk Taylor was a formerly enslaved American Methodist minister who was inaccurately reported to have been owned by two former U.S. presidents, James K. Polk and Zachary Taylor. This claim was inaccurate, as he had been the property of Zachary Taylor's daughter Ann Eliza Taylor, and had merely been named after Polk. Ann Eliza later gave Polk Taylor to her niece as a gift. Zachary Taylor had three daughters who survived to adulthood, the oldest was Ann, the youngest was Eliza; it's uncle
