Good Day: Seeking genealogical and historical information on the Pollard's of Shelby County, Kentucky circa 1800-1855. I am especially interested in the family of George Tompkins Pollard and connecting surnames which may be "Irish" or "Scottish" or "French" in origin. George Tompkins Pollard and his brother (-s) were some of the oldest settler's living in Old Walla Walla County (Washington, USA). And, the Pollard surname was clearly identified with the "Inland Empire" in several old historical publications. According to my data, George was born in Linn County, Missouri, on June 15, 1835. He was the son of Roger B. and Sarah C. (Smith) Pollard. Roger Pollard's father was a native of Richmond, Virginia. And, his mother was born in Rockingham County, Virginia. Roger and Sarah Pollard were married in Shelby County, Kentucky. And, in 1820, they moved to Linn County, Missouri; where they lived for over 20 years. Later, they moved to the Platte Purchase, Missouri and settled near St. Joseph, Missouri; where they are buried. in 1851, he left home at the age of 16; and crossed the plains with an "ox team" to California. By July of 1855, at the age of 19, George is said to have made his way "northward into Oregon Territory" to visit a brother (-s) who were already living in Old Walla Walla County. I am very interested in corresponding with anyone who may have any information that connects their Pollard's or other surnames with George and his elusive brothers. Presently, I am seeking information on Roger B. and Sarah C. (Smith) Pollard and George's elusive brothers. Thanks in advance for any information or leads. Best, Dick Pollard pollard@gte.net http://home1.gte.net/pollard/ The United States of America

This message is to anyone who has a family history of any family in Rockingham County. Would you please check to see if you have any information in your books on Christian SITES. He is the son of Vandel SITES and he lived in the Linville Creek area of Rockingham. He had a large family, was married to Elizabeth Reimel and made most of his money buying and selling land. He died a lunatic in 1828. Any help would be appreciated. Sincerely Tracy Hunter

Don't know if this is the same James Harris, but I see in my "Early Church Records of Rockingham County" a marriage between James Harris and Mary Edwards on October 31, 1782. They are married by the Rev. John Alderson, Jr. Skye wrote: > > Hello All, > > I seek the children of Sarah Whiteside and James Harris that were married in > Rockingham Co.

Hi all! I sent this on the Crawford List and I thought I'd send it on the Rockingham County list in hopes someone would connect. My Grandfather was Cleveland Crawford (b. March 1885). I find no record of who his father was. He is found in the 1900 Census living with his grandfather - Samuel Crawford (b. Apr 1837), his brother Garfield (b. Mar 1883), sister Manda F. (b. Mar 1891), and Samuel's daughter (maybe Aunt, maybe mother - I don't think so though) - Jaine (b. May 1860). >From a marriage certificate Cleveland marries Nellie Knight on July 24, 1910 in Rockingham Co., VA. His brother Garfield Crawford marries Hattie M. Dove on December 20, 1909. and His sister Manda Fannie Crawford marries a Jacob Hoover on in 1906. In the 1910 Rockingham Co., VA Census Garfield is listed as Garfield Crofford living with his wife Hattie M. no children. In 1910 Cleveland Crawford is living with sister Fannie (Manda) and brother-in-law Jacob Hoover. Per World War I Registration Card the following information is contained on the card: Cleave Crawford Address: 8 Mt. Clinton, Rock., VA Age: 33 DOB: 15 Mar 1885 Ht: Medium Build: Medium Color Eyes: Blue Color Hair: Brown Per Marriage Certificate: Date of Marriage: 24 July 1910 Place of Marriage: Rockingham Co., VA Age of Husband: 25 Age of Wife: 16 Husband Parents: _____ and Nangus WIfe's Parents: A.J. and Delia Knight I am looking for any information on who might be Cleveland parent's were. It appears that his mother's name was Nangus....although, the clerk may have misread the name...and it appears that either the father's name was not present or illegible? If anyone has a other information...I would appreciate it. Thanks Mike Law ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Catharine GARVER b. 1783 prob. in Rockingham Co., VA married Jacob RIFE. Jacob RIFE's family mentioned in the State Enumeration as "5 souls, 1 dwelling and 1 other dwelling." Moved to Perry Twp., Montgomery Co., Ohio about 1837. In marriage books for Rockingham Co. there appears to be several Catharine GARVERS and several Jaboc RIFE's.

Several weeks ago someone ask for the Harris listed in the 1880 census. E-mail me if you still want it. I never recieved your mail. Martha

I was at the Dayton Historical Society just last week. There I discovered a book that list all cemeteries and who are in them. Even down to the ones that just have two people. In this case my FULTZ family. Please check with the society. I sorry, but I do not remember the name of the book. I believe it was just cemeteries of Rockingham County. Penny Hart

While we're talking cemeteries, does anyone have any information on the little cemetery on the hill of the Siemer farm and behind the Pine Grove Church of the Brethren, RR#2, Harrisonburg, Va. I've tried to make contact with them, and can't get an answer. Several DePoy family members are buried there. Bev. DePoy, 11817 Hollywood Pl., Wapakoneta, OH 45895-9488
