At that time we were trying to prove the relationship between Major Alfred Pollard and Etheldred "Dred" Pollard (my Pollard family). We were never able to prove it, particularly since the wills back then had been destroyed. I don't have that Major Alfred Pollard (b. 1794 Wake Co, NC; d. Sept 1859 Pilot Rock, Johnson Co, AR; buried Little Piney, Johnson Co, AR) had a brother named Benjamin. Doesn't mean he didn't, just that I don't have it in my database. At that time we weren't able to prove who his parents were. I do have that he had these siblings: Dorcas Pollard (m. ??? Smith), Elizabeth "Betsy" Pollard (m. Thomas Steele), and Rebekah/Rebecca Pollard (m. ??? Loftis). I have that Dicie Ann Stewart's (b. abt 1805; d. 1842-1845 Nr Dover, Pope Co, AR; buried Pollard Cemetery - now called White Church Cemetery, Dover, AR) parents were William "Bill" Stewart and Margaret Judith Caroline Stevons/Stevens. So far, I have as siblings of Dicie: James "Jimmie" Stewart, Joseph "Joe" A. Stewart, Elizabeth "Betsy" Stewart, and Mildred "Millie" Stewart (m. Silas Wright). I do have Harriet Elizabeth Pollard (Sept 1, 1833 Davidson Co, MO; d. Apr 24, 1883 Cross Timbers, Hickory Co, MO; d/o Major Alfred Pollard and Dicie Ann Stewart) m. Anderson Hodges. Have you been able to find out who Major Alfred Pollard's parents were?
