General Notes: Husband - William Pollock


He was born and spent all his days on the original family homestead near Clokeyville, Washington County, Pennsylvania. He was a member of the Associate (Seceder) Church. When the Pigeon Creek Congregation was organ-ized he was elected one of the ruling elders, which office he filled till the close of his life. Politically he was an active worker in the Whig party.
He had an ox-mill built on his farm, which was later used by his grandson as a sheep house. This mill was the first of the kind in the county, and was erected by a man named John Calhoun, then living on Peters creek. It was a tramp-mill of peculiar construction, very unlike the tramp-mill of later days. The platform on which the oxen tramped was circular, about thirty feet in diameter, into part of which was placed a shaft at an angle of fifty-five degrees. The stone burrs were from three to three and one-half feet in diameter. Dog tramp-mills were made in much the same manner. This old ox-mill ground the grain for many years, and as it was fur-nished with great power, people came to it from considerable distance with their grists packed on horseback.
