| Notes |
- The immigrant's son Robert Pollock went south. In November, 1811 he was ordered by the county court of Lincoln Co, TN, to oversee a road between Wm. Anderson's place and the state line [Tennessee and that portion of the Mississippi that is now labama]. Robert was still in Lincoln Co. in August, 1815, when he served on a jury. The year before an unnamed Pollock man successfully sued George Thomas for assault and battery. And in May, 1816, Robert along with Willie Garrett proved a deed from Caleb Birmingham to John Kelly. Joseph Pollock was also in Lincoln Co. but was not mentioned in the county court records until November, 1816. At that time his brother Robert was appointed administer of the estate of "Joseph Pollock, late of this county, [who had] departed this life intestate. A year and a half later Robert left Tennessee for good. In March, 1818, Robert entered a land claim just across the border in Limestone Co, AL.
Robert Pollock was shown on the 1819-20 state census of Limestone Co. Robert and his wife were shown with six boys and two girls, all under 21 years old. He was listed next to John Sanderson. Several pages earlier, a Robert D. Pollock was shown. This Robert was over 21 years old (b. about 1798) and had a small family. He probably was the son of the above Robert who, to have a child this old, surely was born by 1780. Determining the location of his birth is a vital link in this research effort. The elder Robert was still in Limestone Co. in January, 1828, when he made a deed of gift to his daughter Elizabeth C. Pollock. Neither Robert was shown in Limestone Co. in the 1830 census, although a Sarah Pollock was there. She was probably the widow of the elder Robert as she was a woman in her 30's with seven apparent children in her household. Lorenzo Dow Pollock, a man in his twenties and another apparent son of Robert, was also in Limestone Co. in 1830, but shortly afterward left for Fayetteville, Washington Co., AR where he died in 1840. Flanery said he was born in TN, but gives no source for the information.
Sarah, widow of the above Robert Pollock, was in Cooper Co, MO in 1840 with most of her children. Her age contradicts the above one showing her in her 50's; she was probably born about 1780. She and Robert were probably married in Knox Co, TN, although no Pollock marriage records can be found there. Judging by his child ladder, the oldest son, Robert [D.] apparently left Limestone Co, AL in the late 1820's and returned to Tennessee. By 1840, however, he was in Missouri with his mother and his brother John Taylor Pollock. Both of these brothers were in Holt Co, MO by 1850 and apparently settled there.
