Hi Jeremy and Diane Keiser! I too have been working on the Pollard family. My problem lies with one Frances E. Pollard who was my third gr grandmother. I have very strong suspicions that she was the daughter of Joshua Pollard and Elizabeth Reavis. What I know from census records is that my Frances Pollard was born in NC about 1825. She married Richard Murry, year unknown. They lived in VA, then Nashville, TN, and finally ended up in Dubois County, IN about 1860. Frances died in Dubois about 1883 and Richard died in 1893. Death years are taken from a gravestone. I've corresponded with Diane before. She's been a big help on the Pollards. I just can't seem to get anything definitive on Frances being a child of Joshua and Elizabeth. It's good to find somebody else working on this family.
