General Notes: Husband - John Pollock
He was born in Mount Pleasant, where his parents had taken refuge because of an incursion of Indians into Ligonier Valley. He learned the business of farming on his father's farm, where he spent his entire life. He never attended "school," and his vast fund of knowledge was obtained by his own exertion and the assistance of his mother. He was in the true sense "self-taught," and consequently well taught. Although he never learned a rule from a book, his knowledge of mathematics was such as enabled him to solve readily the most intricate and diverse problems in that science. He was an elder in the United Presbyterian Church, and was a frequent contributor to the religious periodicals of the day. He took an active part in politics, but would never accept an office. His clear, well-balanced mind, amiable disposition, and gentle Christian life made him a worthy exemplar. [HWC 1882, 701]
He is said to have been "a remarkable man in his day. He was an elder in the Presbyterian Church, and an active politician. He possessed clear, penetrating intellect, keen wit, and admirable social qualities. His intelligent, fervent, practical piety was his greatest ornament. A ready and forcible writer, he was invariably found on the side of public questions which the progress of events has vindicated as right."
