(II.) THE POLOS OF SAN GEREMIA.
The preceding Table gives the Family of our Traveller as far as I have seen sound data for tracing it, either upwards or downwards.
I have expressed, in the introductory notices, my doubts about the Venetian genealogies, which continue the family down to 1418 or 19, because it seems to me certain that all of them do more or less confound with our Polos of S. Giovanni Grisostomo, members of the other Polo Family of S. Geremia. It will help to disentangle the subject if we put down what is ascertained regarding the S. Geremia family.
To the latter with tolerable certainty belonged the following:—
1302. MARCO Polo of Cannareggio, see vol. i.
pp. 64-67. (The Church
of S. Geremia
stands on the canal called Cannareggio.)
Already in 1224,
we find a Marco Polo of S. Geremia and Cannareggio.
(See Liber
Plegiorum, published with Archivio Veneto,
1872 pp.
32, 36).
1319. (Bianca, widow of GIOVANNI Polo?)[1]
1332. 24th March. Concession, apparently of some
privilege in connection
with the State
Lake in San Basilio, to DONATO and HERMORAO
(= Hermolaus or
Almoro) Paulo (Document partially illegible).[2]
1333. 23rd October. Will of Marchesina Corner,
wife of Marino Gradenigo of
S. Apollinare,
who chooses for her executors “my mother Dona
Fiordelisa Cornaro,
and my uncle (Barba) Ser Marco Polo."[3]
Another extract
apparently of the same will mentions “mia
cusina
MARIA Polo,”
and “mio cusin MARCO Polo” three
times.[4]
1349. MARINO Polo and Brothers.[5]
