Am sending some Pollards in Virginia and Georgia information which I found in a family history book and have been unable to find any confirmation or further info on it. Johnston Bickerstaff was born in 1720 at sea from England to America and died 1800 in Franklin Co, GA. His wife was Sarah Cynthia Pollard, born in Virginia in 1725 and died 1798 in Franklin Co, GA. I know that my gggrandfather was Pollard Bickerstaff, listed in the same book. He was said to be the grandson of Johnston Bickerstaff & Sarah Cynthia Pollard. Will have interest in any further info on the Pollards in Virginia or Georgia. Cecile Harrell

List Members, I am again cross posting with additional notes on my POLLARD and EDMONDS line with connections that migrated through Wilkes, Taliaferro, and Greene, and Oglethorpe County, Georgia, at various times. On the POLLARDS, I think my line goes: William Pollard of Culpepper Co., Va. William Pollard b. by c. 1760 Va. d. before 1820 m. Jane Thompson I think he is the one who servied in the Rev. War. I have not research this line this far back, This is from other people. Seaborn Pollard, Sr. b. c. 1780 m. c. 18000-1805 Sarah M {_?_} b. c. 1782 d. October 9, 1872 from newspaper reference of that time period in Greene County, Georgia. Sarah Pollard m. 1849 Wilkes County, Georgia, to James Edmonds On the EDMONDS line: Francis Edmonds m. Rachel [_?_] in Halfax County, Virginia, on Bannister River 1768 John Edmonds m. Winnifred Buckner d. Anthony Buckner and Amy Powell Powels back to c. 1715 St. Paul's Parsih, Stafford County, Virginia James Edmonds b. 1776 m. 1st. in Lincoln Co, Ga. Stratham (various spelling) m. 2nd 1812 Wilkes County, Ga. Sarah/Sallie R./Ross Bruce dau. of Elizabeth [_?_] and Daniel Bruce d. bef. 1803 James M. Edmonds m. 1849 Wilkes County Sarah Pollard Buried with markers in teh Rayle Cemetery, Wilkes County, Georgia. I am estimating the Seaborn Pollard, Sr. was born somewhere around 1780 or so, ball park figure, and died before the 1850 census. Through the Conference Minutes of Bethesda Baptist Church I have established that his wife was Sarah M. {_?_}. This matches up with the census and the Taliaferro County deed below in my notes. She is suppose to have died October 9, 1872. I have estimated her birth as being somewhere before that date in 1782 in Virginia according to the census. I am also making an educated guess that their marriage would have been somewhere around 1800 to 1810. I don't have age estimated on some of their children. At the present time I have 661 people in an Edmonds file who are either descendents of Francis Edmonds and Rachel[_?_] or connected to some of their descendents. When I published the Bethesda Church Minutes I was looking for my Reynold line, but found a lot of other "stuff" instead. Not much entered on the Pollards yet. I still have copies that would make a nice Christmas present. Lots of Taliaferro County folks in the index. I am originaly from Georgia. My family lived with my maternal grandmother when I was a preschooler and I went to Church at Bethesda east of Union Point in Greene County. I still have first cousins there. I just married a Texan. So don't e-mail me about other lines that came to Texas unless you know that they connect back to these counties in Georgia because I can't help you. I am still not clear on the McAvoy connections. Maybe more than one Pollard-McAvoy marriage. Vivian Cates, Rt. #2 Box 52-A, Alto, Texas 75925-9607 1-936-858-3801 http://www.inu.net/vcates NOTES I HAVE ENTERED IN MY GEN.

Dear List Members, Among my Georgia lines, I am researching Pollard and Edmonds in Wilkes, Greene, and Taliaferro, Georgia. I am cross posting to the Pollard, Wilkes, Greene, Taliaferro, and just for good measure the Oglethorpe County, Georgia, lists. Below are some of the notes I have thus far typed into the notes section of my genealogy program under Seaborn (Various spellings) Pollard family. It has been so nice to see the picked up activity on the Taliaferro County list in the past week or so. I have no early family stories Past my great grandparents on the Edmonds/Edmunds or the Pollards. Everything has been from pieceing together the records. My connection to the Pollards is through the Edmonds. James Edmonds m. Sarah Pollard in Wilkes County, Georgia, in 1849. They are buried in the cemetery at Rayle, Wilkes County, Georgia. The Edmonds were in Wilkes, Lincoln, and then Oglethorpe County. I have them back to Francis Edmonds who was in Halifax County Virginia by 1768. Prior to that unproven. France Edmonds/Edmunds and rachel [_?_] and their family moved to Georgia c. 1784-86 and he died with a will in Wilkes County 1799. Use the Kettle Creek information as to who fought there with care because at least one reference claims that Frances and John Edmonds were there, but I can't prove it. They seem to still have been in Halifax County, Virginia during the Rev. War. and came to Georgia later. John Edmonds married Winnifred/Winnie Buckner in Virginia. James . 1st in Lincolm County, then in Wilkes County to Sarah/Sally R.Ross Bruce in 1812. Miss-transcribed in Wilkes County published marriage records as Edwards and Brewer. John, James, and Anthony Edmonds were on the 1820 Oglethrope County, Georgia, Census. Anthony and a Reuben B. Edmonds later show up in Taliaferro County. Reuben B. Edmonds was in the militia and Anthony was buying land from Echols. The Pollards seem to have been in Wilkes, Taliaferro, and then migrated to Greene County, on the 1860 census. One odd thing about this family is that they seem to have had slaves, but I have not found any lands records for them in Taliaferro. Maybe early in Wilkes County??? The Pollards were basically in the northern part of Taliaferro County taken from slices of Wilkes, Oglethorpe, and Greene. This is basically the 605th Georgia Militia District. Same for the Edmonds (various spellings of the last name.) Other researchers claim that William Pollard m. Jane Thompson. That Pollards were from Culpepper County, Virginia. William Pollard was supposed to have been a Rev. Sol. and migrated farther west into Georgia and died in another county. I have trying to work my way back to that proof. A very kind soul off the Pollard list, I think, was kind enough to e-mail me a whole bunch of "stuff" on the Pollards which I have not gotten digested yet and only have parts into my genealogy program. I think my line goes as follows: William Pollard in Culpepper County, Virginia William Pollard m. Jane Thompson he served in the Rev. and came to Georgia Seaborn Pollard m. Sarah M. {_?_} Sarah Pollard m. 1849 James M. Edmonds The proof for the marriage of Seaborn Pollard to Sarah M. [_?_] is from the minutes of Bethesday Baptist Church which I published in 1991. They owned the same slave, Tillah (various spellings). Then this ties in with the deed for a slave in Taliaferro County to which James Edmonds was a party and the 1860-70 census of Greene County, Georgia. It seems that a lot of people who fell into Taliaferro County first attended church at Bethesda Baptist Church east of Union Point, in Greene County before Crawfordville had churches. I still have Church minute books available for sale. E-mail me privately or see my web page at http://www.inu.net/vcates Copies are also available from the church. $25.00 from the church if you live in that area of Georgia or $30 mailed by me. Nice Christmas present for yourself or others. If the Taliaferro County Historical Society library mentioned in earlier postings to the list does not have a copy, I would be willing to work out a trade for a copy. Membership and/or a copy of the county history book mentioned on this list. I have personal copies of Lunceford's book and the 1827 School census book. I was in the Taliaferro Courthouse on Tuesday, July 13, 2004, for a couple of hours. Could not find an estate Administration for either Seaborn Pollard, Jr. or Sr. though I found what might be a reference to it. It seems neither left a will. Any ideas on how these other Pollards would be related to Seaborn would be apprecited also to any clues as to the maiden name of Sarah M. [_?_]. Was Seaborn Pollard, Jr. a veteran of the War of 1812. I don't think he was old enough to be in the Rev. though I have his age pegged as older than some information I have seen. I am also still unclear as to how the McAvoys fit into the family. Maybe more than one McAvoy/Pollard marriage. Vivian Cates, Rt. #2 Box 52-A, Alto, Texas 75925-9607 1-936-858-3801 http://www.inu.net/vcates NOTES ON SEABORN POLLARD, SR.

Seaborn Pollard informed the church that he had recently acted disorderly in having in a passion stricken another man with his umbrella while riding the road together. On inquiry from all the circumstances of the case, it appears that the provocation was such as would almost justify such a course of procedure, yet we discountenance and discourage such conduct, on motion he was forgiven and continued in fellowship. It was reported to the church in conference that Br.. W,m. H. Rhodes had had a personal ‘rencounter’ with a fellow man, Br.. S. Pollard was appointed to cite him to attend next conference in order to answer the charge as reported.” (ambiguous, but unimportant) January 14, 1837 Then took up the case of Br. W. H. Rhodes who being present requested that a committee should be appointed in the case and report, whereupon Brethren J. Forrester Snr., M. Bedell & J. Mitchell were nominated agreeable to his request....The Com. appointed at the request of Br.. Rhodes retired and after hearing all the circumstances of the case Reported that they considered him excusable in course he pursued, yet they disapprove of such conduct in church members if it can possibly be avoided. On motion, he was continued in fellowship. p.144 February 18, 1837--it was reported to the church that a want of fellowship existed between Brother Seaborn Pollard & Wm. H. Rhodes. The church appointed Brethren Dickerson, Biddell and Janes to endeavour to effect a reconciliation and also to enquire why they had not made such effort themselves. And report at our next conference. p.145 March 18, 1837--”Then took up the case of Brother Pollard & Rhodes. The committee appointed at our last conference reported unfavourable; and further that since the appointment, the parties have had quarreling and attempts to fight with weapons &c. After discussion and investigation the case was deferred to our next conference and the committee was still instructed to labour with the Brethren and report at the next conference their success. April 15, 1837--The case of Brothers Pollard and Rhodes next came up whereupon the committee reported that after a further investigation, they recomment Brother Pollard to the fellowship of the church; But that they are not satisfied with Brother Rhodes, so his case was submitted to the church & the church continued him in fellowship. Also Brother Pollard was continued in fellowship. 1840 CENSUS TALIAFERRO COUNTY, GEORGIA. 606th Georgia Militia District, called Springfield.

The best guess is that Elizabeth "Bettie" Ann Pollard was a daughter of John Pollard born about 1785 and wife Elizabeth Strong/Strang (?) born about 1794 in South Carolina. They had at least 10 children, assuming that Elizabeth Ann was one of them, and possibly 11, all born between 1812 and 1834 or so. They did have a son named John (John Jackson Pollard) who moved to Alabama -- his first wife was named Sarah Ann Pounds whom he married in 1847, and his second wife was Clarissa Spruell whom he married in 1885. I'm confident that Elizabeth Ann was one of the children because she named a son Rosston Whatley Brooks, and one of the sons of John and Elizabeth Pollard (who also moved to Texas) was named Rosston Whatley Pollard. It seems logical she would have named a son after her brother. Incidentally another Pollard daughter, Louisa, married Alexander R. Brooks in Paulding County -- but he is not related so far as I know to Allen Brooks. (Allen, John L., and James Micajah Brooks were all sons of John Brooks and first wife Elizabeth Tolar. Alexander was a son of Chivers and Susan Elliott Brooks.) I can't see where your Matilda Trevethan fits in, but there was probably a relationship. More puzzles!

Mr. Pollard informs us there will be a bumper crop this year and expects the yield to surpass that of last year. Miss Bessie WATTERMAN returned to her home in Omaha Friday afternoon after a few days’ visit with her sister, Mrs. Ernest M. POLLARD. Plattsmouth Journal, Monday, November 27, 1916 DEATH OF HON. ISAAC POLLARD Passed Away at the Advanced Age of 86 Years, After Residence of Sixty Years in Cass County Last evening at his home in Nehawka where for more than sixty years he has made his home, Hon. Isaac POLLARD, one of the early residents of the county and one of the men who has had a great part in the development of the state, passed away as the immediate result of an attack of acute indigestion from which he has been suffering for the past week and which added to the other complications due to his advanced years proved too great a strain and resulted in the death of this worthy man. Mr. Pollard for the past ten years has been a sufferer from hardening of the arteries, which has gradually grown worse with the passing of the years. He was eighty-six years of age and during this long period of time has been one of the builders of Nebraska and in his death Cass county loses one of its most useful men and the loss will be one felt keenly by the entire state. It is a matter of history the part that Isaac Pollard has had in the forming of the great state of Nebraska, and the future generations will long honor the memory of this good man as one of the hardy pioneers who had forged a great agriculture empire out of what was long considered a part of the great American desert. Isaac Pollard was born in Ludlow, Vt., July 11, 1830 and here he was reared to manhood in the usual hardy New England life and was taught by his parents the great principles of life along the simple inspiring lines laid down by a long line of hardy ancestors and which was to have a direct bearing on the future of the young man. In 1851, Mr. Pollard in company with his boyhood friends, Lawson SHELDON and Perry WALKER, came west to the California gold fields, making the trip to the coast by way of the Isthmus of Panama, but on arriving there found the opportunities not as flattering as they hoped for and returned to the Green mountain state. In 1855, Mr. Pollard and Mr. Sheldon again came west to take up a home in Kansas, but on arriving at the village of Omaha, decided to locate in Nebraska and accordingly selected a homestead in southern Cass county where they have since made their homes and where they have made the land to blossom with the fruits of the earth. One of the greatest orchards in the state of Nebraska was planted by Mr. Pollard at his Nehawka farm and during his lifetime, he has taken a keen interest in the horticultural life of the state and his contributions has given the state a great ranking among the other commonwealths of the nation in this line. Never a seeker after office, Mr. Pollard repeatedly refused to be a candidate for the public service and aside from several terms as county clerk in early days, did not take any part in political life although always deeply interested in the advancement of his community and state. Surviving the loss of this good man there are three daughters and two sons, Mrs. Harry WILLS and Mrs. Lottle SHOTWELL, of Seattle, Wash.; Mrs. A.J. HILBORN, Long Beach, California, former congressman E.M. POLLARD of Nehawka, and Raymond C. POLLARD, of Nehawka. Plattsmouth Journal, Monday, July 21, 1919 OVER THE COUNTY [Nehawka News] The first shipment of apples from the POLLARD orchard this season was made the first of the week. While the small orchard south of town was considerably damaged by hail in the spring, the larger one west of town escaped, and a bumper crop will be harvested from it. Plattsmouth Journal, Thursday, August 7, 1919 ERNEST M. POLLARD TO BE CANDIDATE FOR CONVENTION [front page] From Monday’s Daily. Petitions have appeared throughout the county asking that the name of Hon. Ernest M. POLLARD of Nehawka, be placed on the ballot as a candidate for member of the constitutional convention.

I am the GGG Grandson of George Pollard, who's brother, John was the father of Jesse, Sophia and four other (Catherine, John, Martha and Francis) children. I show that Sophia was married to Alfred Goodley and that Jesse was married to Penelope Ann Porter but I have nothing on children from either family. I would be willing to share anything that I have that may be of use to you. Additionally, I show two different spellings for Catherine's middle name. One is Nichols and the other is Nicholls. Do you know which is correct? Hoping to hear from you. Raymond Pollard
