I'm a direct line descendant of Etheldred "Dread/Dred" Pollard and Lucinda "Cinda" Smith of Wake and Johnston Co, NC. Thru the years I have tried to prove a relation between Etheldred and Joshua Pollard. I do have info on Joshua Pollard and Elizabeth Reavis. Unfortunately, I don't have any info on their son, Barsilla Pollard. Will be glad to share with you what info I do have.
