Notes |
- Son Benjamin Hamilton Pollock seems to have stayed in White County, TN, longer than his brothers. He was the only Pollock shown in a list of early settlers in the Sparta area between the years 1800-1815. He served in the War of 1812 in Capt. Chrles Kavenaugh's Co. of Tennessee militia. The location of this unit is not clear at this time, although Kavenaugh had been in Montgomery Co. a few years earlier. Benjamin was probably still in White Co. when he married, although the marriage records do not go back that early. He married Sara Rosannah Capps and their oldest son Robert Oliver was born in Tennessee in 1816.
Benjamin H. Pollock's residence in 1820 is not known as he has not been located on any census or county record. He was in Limestone Co, AL in the mid-1820s and was listed on the 1830 census from there. By 1840, however, he was in Marshall Co, AL, and moved on to Pontotoc Co, Mississippi by 1850. He was still living there in 1860.
