Notes: A letter from Howard Hazelwood:Regarding your recent letter, Jeanelle Collier and I discovered
early in our Lenderman research that the Pollard family lived next
to the Lenderman family in Greenville County, SC. Enclosed are
family group sheets for Benjamin G. Pollard Sr. and our Benjamin
G. Pollard, Jr. made in 1982. Since we could never prove for sure
that James Pollard was a son of Benjamin G. Pollard, Jr. and
Sarah Pollard was his daughter, we did not wish to publish our
research. Based on the 1810 census record for Greenville
County, SC Benjamin Pollard Jr. had four sons and one daughter.
We have fair proof he had an additional daughter born ca. 1820. I
feel he had other children before his second marriage to Rachel
Parks on 6 Dec 1829. he had eleven children by Rachel that are
fairly well proven. The name of his first wife was thought to be
Sarah but cannot be proven.
James Pollard is listed on the 1850 Cherokee County Census,
pages 102-B and 103-A as follows:Name sex age born
James Pollard M 46 SC
Caroline " F 43 SC
Rebecca F 22 SC
Henry M 17 AL
Nancy F 15 AL
Sidney F 13 AL
Caroline F 11 AL
Benjamin M 9 AL
Reuben M 6 AL
Martha F 4 AL
Ezekiel M 3/12 AL
You can see Sarah Pollard (age 19) would fit very well after1.1.4.4 Benjamin POLLARD
Rebecca and before Henry. She had married Levi Lenderman by
1850. Sidney Pollard (age 13) later married Henry Lenderman,
brother of Levi. James, Caroline, and Rebecca could not read or
write and James owned no land. He died between 1850 and
1860. Levi and Sarah named a daughter Rebecca (probably after
Sarah's sister). They also named their first son Henry (after the
father of Levi and/or brother of Sarah and/or her grandfather.
Caroline Pollard lived in Cherokee County until 1899 with her
land going to her daughter, Nancy Cumby, and Thomas Cumby.
The other children had left the county. The 1840 census for
Cherokee County has so many errors you cannot use it for most
of our families. We cannot find James Pollard on the 1830 or
1840 census. There is a James Pollard listed on the 1840 census
but it will not fit. The Pollard history may never be proven for
sure. We do not wish to claim a line that cannot be proven.
Note: The following
information was researched and reported
by Ashley Gray <[email protected]> "Aaron Burr Pollard
was the sixth child born to his parents Benjamin G. Pollard
and Rachel Sarah Parks Pollard in Cherokee County,
Alabama at the family home on Pollards Bend of the Coosa
River between Leesburg and Slackland, Alabama. On 6 Oct.
1864 at age 20 Aaron enlisted in Company A, 1st Regiment,
Alabama Calvery to serve 3 years or during the Civil War.
His regiment marched through South Carolina and crossed
the Great Pedee River in North Carolina on November 6th
and had a skirmish with the enemy the same day. the March
2nd Rolls show him absent, wounded. Aaron was mustered
out with his company 30 Oct. 1865 at Huntsville, Alabama.
The exact date of receiving his wound was March 3, 1865 by
a gunshot. He was wounded near Wadesbury North Carolina.
No mention is made of how serious the wound was. Aaron
is stated to have been 5 ft. 5 in. [tall], fair complexion, brown
eyes, and dark hair. After leaving the service Aaron married
Margaret Elizabeth Hatfield on 10 April 1869 in Palestine,
Alabama. They shortly moved to Lebanon, MO where the
first son, Corrouth P. was born 22 Jun 1870. From there
the family moved to Riley Center, Kansas where Gus was
born on 29 Jun 1871. George Hansford Pollard was born
30 Dec 1873 and died 11 Jan 1874. Then the family moved
to Turner Station, Oregon where Charles Everett was born
8 June 1875. Next came Aulthia Ellen born 22 Feb 1877.
The family moved again to Sheridan, Oregon where
Beulah Estella was born 2 Apr 1879 and she was followed
by Mary Araminta who was born 22 Jan 1882. The family
made another move, this time to Woods, in Tillamook
County, Oregon. Another child was born here, Daisy Miles
Pollard on 27 Feb 1884 and died 28 Mar 1884. Aaron's wife
Margaret Elizabeth died 30 Nov. 1884 leaving him with the
children to finish raising. The oldest was Corrouth at age
14 and the youngest Mary Araminta at age 2. For some
time the three girls Ellen, Stella and Minta as they were known,
were placed in the care of the Catholic sisters in Sheridan
as it was hard to get a housekeeper to care for them. The
girls were in the convent for nearly four years. The girls
were quite unhappy there and finally Corruth told his
Papa that if he didn't go bring the girls home, that he,
Corruth, would. They were brought back to the home
at Woods and with the help of another neighbor were
able to stay at home until it was time to go away for more
education. Aaron was a teamster by this time and was
hauling freight over the hill into Hebo which would take him
the better part of two or more days depending on the
condition of the roads and how deep the mud was. After
the family was grown and the girls were married not much
has been written about Aaron. The youngest daughter
Minta married Burt MACARTHUR and moved to the New
Era, Oregon area. They were living for awhile on a farm
out of Mollala, Oregon where there was a small house on
the same property and it was decided that grandpa Pollard
could live in that little house. A story is told about one day
when Burt had bought a new shotgun and he and Aaron
decided to try it out. This was a double barreled shotgun
and both barrels were loaded when Aaron took the gun
and stepped up onto a log to shoot. Somehow he set off
both barrels and the jolt kicked him backwards off the log.
He was the maddest little Southerner you ever saw. The
last four years of Aaron's life he spent in Roseburg, Oregon
at the soldier's home there. He occupied a cabin with one
other Veteran. I have visited this facility and found it to be
quite a peaceful place as it is today. It was probably more
in the country when Aaron was there, lots of trees and grass
and flowers around. Aaron died 25 Oct 1916 and is buried
in the cemetery at the soldier's home and his grave has a
marker showing A. B. Pollard."

Note 1: The
POLLARD family lived next to the LENDERMAN family in Greenville Co., SC.
According to the 1810 census record for Greenville Co., SC Benjamin Pollard,
Jr. had four sons and one daughter. It is more than likely he had
more children by his first wife.
The
1840 Cenus for Cherokee County has so many errors you cannot use it for
most of our families.
James
Pollard is listed on the 1850 Cherokee Co., Census, pages 102-B and 103-A
as follows: (note4)
| Name | Sex | Age | Born |
| James POLLARD | M | 46 | SC |
| Caroline | F | 43 | SC |
| Rebecca | F | 22 | SC |
| Henry | M | 17 | AL |

Note 2: James, Caroline, and Rebecca could not read or write. James owned no land. Caroline Pollard lived in Cherokee Co., until 1899 with her land going to her daughter Nancy Cumby, and Thomas Cumby. Her other children had left Cherokee Co. James Pollard does not appear on the 1830 or 1840 Census. There is a James Polland on the 1840 census, but he does not fit. The Pollard history may never be proven for sure.
Note 3: About 1868, following the death of Sarah's first
husband, Levi Lenderman (killed by “bushwackers” in an apparent robbery
not far from the family home in Pollard’s Bend.
According to family lore, Levi was murdered for a pouch
of tobacco, and his death left the
family destitute), Sarah took her children to Dallas
County, Alabama. They remained there
until about 1871, when they moved again, this time to
Sumter County, Alabama. The family
was in severe financial straits, and Sarah is said to
have worked for a black sharecropper for
a time. It is also said that Sarah would feed her
children, and after they left the table, she
would eat the leftovers. These hard times are said
to have steeled the resolve of her son
Benjamin Levi Lenderman to do whatever it took to make
sure his children would not suffer
as his family had. As a result of Levi’s death,
18 year-old Henry Lafayette (Fate) became
the head of the household, and the family moved to Dallas
County where they were listed
on the 1870 census at Harrell’s Gap at the Fort’s Post
Office. The value of their personal
estate was listed at $100, with Fate doing farm labor.
The family lived near Loftin Campbell,
a wealthy farmer, and probably all of the family worked
in his cotton fields. Sarah and her
family moved to Sumter County a few years later, where
her daughter, Georgia Ann,
married James Carroll in 1879. Sarah married James’ father,
Joshua Avery Carroll, on
13 February 1881. Fate married Margaret Jane Ellis in
1875, and on August 1, 1878, Fate
and Margaret left Sumter County with their two small
children, Margaret’s mother, brother,
3 sisters, and two nieces. They traveled
in one wagon pulled by a yoke of oxen that carried
the mother and the 4 small children while the others
walked about 12 miles a day. Fate hunted
along the way with his old dog and the brother, Daniel
Ellis, drove the oxen. The group was
quarantined in Mississippi for several months due to
a yellow fever epidemic, making their
trip much longer than expected and causing supplies to
become short. They lived on
cornbread made with hot water, sorghum molasses, bran
coffee and very littlemeat. Despite
the many hardships, the family arrived on January 26,
1879 in Limestone County, Texas,
where Margaret’s brother, John Benjamin Ellis, was living.
In 1881, the Sarah and her husband
followed Fate to Limestone County. According to family
tradition, Sarah made the trip by train
with her smallest children, arriving in Thornton, Texas.
After the death of Joshua, Sarah
married for the third time. This marriage was to Mack
Sally in Limestone County, Texas.
Note 4: Thanks to Charlene Baxter I am able to add a little more information on the Pollard family. In a recent email Charlene wrote, "According to his [George W. Pollard] tombstone, at Shiloh Cemetary, Cherokee Co., Al, he was born Sept. 28, 1858 and died 1908. On the 1900 Cleburne Co., Al, census it says he ws born in Sept., 1856 - and he is listed as being 3 years old in the 1860 census. So I'd say an argument could be made for either 1856 or 1858. The tombstone of his wife, Elizabeth C. Pollard, has dates July 6, 1858 - Dec 19, 1934 on it. The 1900 census says she's born in July, 1857. At least the months always agree....My mother's story was that George W.'s parents died when he was very young. He and his older sister, Mary J., were living in the Borden Springs household headed by Rachel Pollard in the 1860 census. I had first figured that meant both his parents were dead by 1860 but the document Eleanor Gray sent me said that John Pollard died shortly after the Civil War near Little Rock, Arkansas. So probably only John's wife, Francis Davenport, was dead by 1860 - I didn't see him in the household with Rachel so I suppose he may have left his children with his mother and went off somewhere else. Rachel Pollard lived a long time - she was in Centre, receiving a War of 1812 widow's pension, in 1882. My mother's grandmother, Lucinda Waits, said George W. Pollard was raised by the Alexander family (the Alexander's lived very near the Waits family and may have intermarried with them). Now Lucinda [Waits] was not related to the Pollards and she was born in 1856 herself so she may have been remembering George W. as an older boy...."
Note 5: Charlene Baxter wrote that, "George W.'s wife was Elizabeth Goodwin, whose father came home from the Civil War and died a few days later. Her [Elizabeth] mother was Lillie Beth Hendricks Goodwin and there were three more children in the family, John, Ben, and Mary Goodwin....George and Elizabeth moved to Cherokee Co., AL (Leesburg) when Joel [their son] was a young man, right after he [Joel?] got a job as rural mail carrier. So he [Joel?] stayed in Borden Springs but the others in the family moved."
Note 6.: Charlene Baxter wrote that, " [My] uncle John told me his father was called Dick but his name was George W. Pollard and that he [George] had an uncle named Aaron Burr Pollard, called Bud, who was shot in the leg in Cedartown because he wouldn't join the Confederate Army.
Note 7: Johnnie Truelove (descended from Jefferson D. Bearden) was kind enough to contact me recently with additional information on Althia Duck Pollard. Johnnie stated that Althia Duck Pollard was listed in 1900 census of Scott Co., Missouri as well as Pollard, C. 47 years old, widowed; Thomas, son; Fred, son; All?, daughter; Pollard, Rachel, daughter Dec 1889 10 MO, AL AL; Knighten, Edward, nephew Feb 1886 14 AL AL AL; ? John, nephew, Aug 1884 15 AL AL AL; ? Duck sister Apr 1849 51 WD". I have updated this page according to the information she was kind enough to pass on. Johnnie also related that she had very little information on Jefferson D. Bearden (her direct ancestor) other than that "he was living in Marshall Co. in 1880 with his mother as head of household and his younger siblings. His mother seemed to have had three more children and never married again after the father died from (we have been told) measles right after enlisting in the Civil War. Anyway, the next we find him [Jefferson D. Bearden] (likely it is him) is marriage in Cullman Co. in 1884 to a Susan Collins, then again his marriage to Aulthi in 1892. Cousin tried tracking him down in 1900 census of Alabama and never found him."
Note 8:
Johnnie Truelove wrote me stating in reference to 1.1.4.11.2.1 Etta GIBSON
m. Calvin MILLICAN and 1.1.4.11.2.2 Ada GIBSON
m.
John MILLICAN, "it is not Milligan with a "G" but Millican with
a "C"...I have a good deal of research on the John Hugh "Jehu" Millican
family. Jehu Millican was first married to Martha VANZANT/or VINZANT
(census) likely spelled wrong and it is VANZANT and Calvin and John are
children of Jehu and Martha MILLICAN. Jehu Millican's second wife
(Elizabeth BEARDEN) is a sister to the Jefferson Davis BEARDEN that
I am beginning a search on after 1892. Actually we are descended
from Elizabeth and Jefferson's brother Jacob Simpson BEARDEN who had left
Alabama and went to Arkansas by 1881 and into Indian Territory which is
now Oklahoma before 1900. The town/now just a community of Bearden
Oklahoma in Okfukskee Co. is named for him. Jacob Simpson BEARDEN
died in Okemah, Okfuskee Co., OK in 1935 and his obit listed a living sister
Elizabeth Milligan in Alabama....listed it with a G and I looked for a
year nearly off and on for an Elizabeth Milligan before finding Elizabeth
and Jehu Millican (they also have living granddauthers and a cousin of
mine has spoken with one of them on the phone) she verified that what we
had found was correct. One of siblings was born in Okfuskee Co.,
Oklahoma and I have found two of Jehu and Elizabeth's children living in
the 1900 Census in Bearden OK. Any help ...on Aulthia's whereabouts after
1892 would be appreciated."
