Polly is listed last. That’s an unusual placement for a wife. However, the 1855 Potter, Yates County, New York State census list Polly as the parent of John, Almeron, Almeda and Catherine.
Ca 1822 Jeremy married Polly Sabin, daughter of John Sabin (ca 1765-). Born ca 1802 in Gorham, Ontario County, New York.

Polly was probably the sister of Margaret Sabin who married Jeremy’s brother Enos.

The M.W. Fisher’s funeral record book said Amelia (Jones) Wheeler’s mother was “Polly Sabin (born in Gorham) Jones.”661 Also, the 1855 census lists Polly’s birth as Ontario County.
