General Notes: Husband - Capt. James Pollock

---

He and his four brothers, with their widowed mother, settled in the spring of 1800 in Waterford township, Erie County, Pennsylvania. He, Adam and Robert remained in Erie County, but the other two, Thomas and William, moved to what is now Clarion County in 1806.

His farm was located four miles south of Waterford.

He was in the United States service at the time of General Wayne's treaty with the Indians in 1795, and coming to Erie County as a soldier he remained at Ft. LeBoeuf during the winter of 1797-98, returning in the following spring to Northumberland County. In 1800 he came again to LeBoeuf township in Erie County and located on a farm, there conducting the public house well known in the early days as the "Half Way House," located between Erie and Meadville. He was also a surveyor and laid out most of the roads in LeBoeuf township during the formative period in its history. After the burning of the court house he prominently assisted to adjust the lines of lands to road formations, and from 1830 to 1833 was one of the three commissioners of the township, while from 1837 to 1838 he served as a delegate from Erie County to the Pennsylvania Constitutional Convention.
