Is there anyone out there that can tell me what happened to Robert POLLARD. He was listed in the 1840 Amelia Co.,VA census and that was the last time he was heard from. His wife Mahala(Chapman)POLLARD showed up with some of her children in the 1850 Adair Co.,KY census, but no Robert. It would be nice if I could find some trace of him, he was my gggrandpa. Mahala was born in 1794 in Amelia Co.,VA. I have no dates for Robert. I would only be guessing. Any help will be appreciated. Merel E. Pollard mbpoll@earthlink.net

Posted on: Amelia County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amelia/459 Surname: Pollard, Morris, Butler, Rucker, Chapman, Brockman ------------------------- Hi Reg: I'm still searching too---#1 Joseph's wife was Leah Morris daughter of Isaac Morris who died in 1750 in Amelia Co. and his wife, Mary. #2 I recently got some clues as to who might be Joseph's father---his name was George Pollard. He was patented land in Amelia Co in 1737 about 232 acres. There are numerous deeds and titheable lists which mention him and Joseph, his son, and---Francis, his son, Joseph's brother. Francis was about 7 years older than Joseph and there may have been a daughter, also. I found the titheable lists in "The Southside Virginian" a genealogical publication--October 1982 Volume 1 No 1, April 1990 Volume 8 No 2 and July-September 1995 Volume 13 No 3. The lists name the head of household and any sons between 16 and 21 and give the approx. location of the family's land. When the sons turned 21 years of age they were listed separately. Just thought I'd catch you up on the latest news. Carol Mills

Sorry, list -- I have NO idea how I got the Amelia list address on that genealogy offer. I do teach a genealogy class here in Louisville, KY, and was sending that info to members of the class. For the two or three of you who did send your end-of-line ancestors, I'll see what I can find for you. Again, Sorry. As for me, I'm still searching for Chasteen Hood in Amelia County. Dawnene Young

Posted on: Amelia County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amelia/447 Surname: Robertson ------------------------- Amelia County: My wife linda and I had the opportunity to visit at Nottoway Court house and Clerk`s office. There was a register where people had been there to research family names. Luther Robertson from Berkely Springs, West Virginia in 1993. Thomas W. Howard 353 N Mooreland RD. Richmond VA. 23229 in 1997 for Robertson and John R and Martha Foulkes 2405 S Ward Carathersville, Mo. 63830 for Foulkes and Robertson family in 1988. There at the court house was the 1850 census published by Emma Robertson Matheny at 1718 Glenview road Richmond, Virginia dated 2/22/67. On page 12 was the listing for David G. Robertson 34 Overseer born in Amelia, Martha W. 33 wife born in Chesterfield. Mary Susan 6 born in Chesterfield, Martha E. 5 born in Chesterfield, William D. 2 born in Nottoway, Alexander 1 born in Nottoway. We also visited ST. Mark Methodist Church on Hungrytown road and found the Graves of many early 1800`s Robertson`s. Martha W. Robertson wife of David G 4/18/1818, David O. Robertson born 1854 Thomas Robertson born1861 Permelia A. Robertson born 1828 Anner T. Robertson born 1851 America Robertson born 1860`s The cemetary was well Kept and the Church was established in 1832. I was told that pre civil war birth records were in the Nottoway Library. though I was not able to view them. I was only there about 2.5 hours and was thankful for the help I received in the Clerk`s office. I can`t confirm that william D. Robertson is my Greatgrandfather who moved to Lexington Mississippi after the civil war but his age is the right period and he was the only William D. in the 1850 Census. I continue my search for William Daniel Robertson. If anyone has any information please post it at this site so there will be a permanent record. Thank You, Clyde

Joshua Hood married Patsy Carpenter in Amelia County, VA in 1791. Does anyone out there descend from this family/know what happened to them? Did Joshua die before 1816, thus leaving Patsy Hood as his widow? Hallie Pleasant Hood is listed as the orphan of Patsy Hood in 1816. Are these her parents? Thanks. Dawnene
