Cross posted to Greene, Taliaferro, Oglethorpe, Wilkes County, Georgia lists. TO: Pollard list members researching in Georgia and Virginia. Can any of the Pollards listed in the two previous messages about Pollards in Georgia be traced back to early Greene, Taliaferro, Oglethorpe, or Wilkes County, Georgia??? To William Pollard m. Jane Thompson Virginia??? My lineage comes from James Edmonds m. Sarah Pollard in Wilkes County, Georgia, in 1849. They are buried in the cemetery at Rayle, Wilkes County, Georgia, that has gone by several differnent names including the Silvey Cemetery. He died in late 1900. James Edmonds' (sometimes spelled with a "U" and other ways0 oldest sister married Dolphford (spelled various ways) Silvey. After pieceing together bits and pieces of information over these several Georgia counties, I think her parents were Seaborn Pollard, Sr. and Sarah M. _?_ who were members of Bethesda Baptist Church in eastern Greene County, Georgia. I have also identified some brothers and sister for Sarah Pollard Edmonds. I think that Seaborn Pollard, Sr. died in Taliaferro County, Georgia, sometimes bwetween 1840-50. His widow and some of the family later moved to the Greensboror area of Greene County and one, it appears, slipped over in to Oglethorpe County. Seaborn Pollard, Sr. is supposed to have been a son of this William Pollard Rev. Sol. from Virgninia. My own research only goes back to Seaborn Pollard, Sr. m. Sarah M. _?_. The next connection I have picked up from various researchers on the internet. Is anybody else on the list related to this line???

Adamson around 1874 in GA. I have read a couple of previous postings here stating that her parents were Joel K. Pollard and Sarah Ann Youngblood, but have been unable to contact the person who posted that information. I haven't been able to find anything out about Mary Jane's parents. Thanks!
