General Notes: Husband - Samuel Pollock, Sr.


The Pollock family were originally natives of Scotland, whence one Samuel Pollock, one of those hardy Scotch-Irish Presbyterian pioneers, emigrated, landing in America, there making a new home in the New World.
He was born, reared and married in Scotland, whence, prior to the Revolutionary war, he and his wife and a brother came to America. They landed in New York, where the brothers separated, thus losing forever all trace of each other. The one turned his face southward, while Samuel and his wife proceeded westward to Washington County, Pennsylvania, being among the earliest settlers in the locality. Here he patented a tract of land called "Plenty" (later known as the James Pollock farm), situated near Clokeyville, in North Strabane township, and containing 148 acres, where he passed the rest of his active pioneer life. The land was wild and uncultivated when he came to it, and he set to work at once, to make improvements on it. Indians and wild animals were numerous, and caused frequent annoyances; but the hardy settlers were patient as well as brave, and time brought them a rich harvest, as a reward for their early years of toil and danger. They were members of the Covenanter Church. Samuel Pollock was a man of more than ordinary intelligence, force and executive ability. [CBRWC, 604]
