Surnames: Pollock Hastings Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EhB.2ACE/1195.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I can't find a Samuel Sylvester Pollock in the family information that I have so far, but this sounds interesting. I did discover via John Barron's research that our Nancy Pollock and Henry B. Pollock were the children of a Samuel C. Pollock and Susanna Hastings. There was also a child named Samuel Pollock b. abt. 1828 but he supposedly returned to Tennessee to live, so probably not the same as your Samuel, but if you have more information that would be interesting. Do you have any census data on your Samuel Sylvester Pollock?
