That he is the administrator of Seanna Pollard dec d who was the widow of Absalom Pollard dec d both late of Garrard County in the State of Kentucky. That the said Absalom Pollard was a soldier in the Revolutionary war - He served in the State of Virginia, but Affiant does not know and cannot state under what officers the said Absalom served. Affiant has always understood that said Absalom was himself a first lieutenant in the revolutionary war. The said Absalom Pollard in his lifetime drew a Pension from the Government of the United States on account of his military services rendered in said war. Affiant believes that said pension was payable at the Agency for paying pensions then at Lexington Kentucky. He cannot state when the said Absalom Pollard entered said service or how long he served. He supposes however the Rolls to which he refers will show said service. He also refers to the evidence on file in the Pension Office upon which said pension was granted to said Absalom Pollard which will show the facts more fully and accurately -
That the said Absalom Pollard died in Garrard County in the State of Kentucky on the thirtieth (30) day of August 1835 - There is no record of his death

except the inscription on his tombstone which is truly Copied in the Affidavit of Lewis V. Philips which Accompanys this declaration. - The said Absalom left a widow Seanna Pollard surviving him who lived his widow until the eighth (8) day of January 1845. There is no record of her death, but the same will be made to appear by the Affidavits hereto annexed. The name of said Seanna before her marriage with the said Absalom was Seanna Banks. The said Seanna and Absalom were married in Amherst County in the State of Virginia by a Mr. Holmes a minister of the gospel and lived together and were recognized as husband and wife by all who knew them until separated by death. They were married in the year 1783. The said Seanna never married after the death of her said husband Absalom Pollard. There is no private record of their marriage. He has caused the proper offices to be searched in Amherst County Virginia and can find no public record of their marriage.
The said Absalom Pollard and Seanna Pollard had born unto them of said marriage the following children, Absalom Pollard, Staunton Pollard, Seanna Taylor, Sarah Taylor, Nancy Herring and Ruben Pollard, their legitimate offspring all of whom are living and the only living children of the said Absalom and Seanna Pollard.
He states further that on the 6 th day of March 1854 he was duly appointed administrator of the said Seanna Pollard by the Giles County Court and has not been removed or superseded but is still acting as such. He refers to an official copy of the order of said Appointment.

as part hereof - He was at Monck County Court 1855 appointed Mtrnp. Administrator of said Abiel Pollard and is Clayton Anderson still acting as such James M Pollard

Dear Sir.
I must ask you to reconsider the application of Lt. Pollard who claims the benefit of an act for the relief of certain surviving officers & soldiers of the Army of the Revolution approved May 15 th 1828.
He has made oath of his services for and during the war. He has established the fact by two witnesses of good character. I know them both & have every confidence in their veracity & integrity.
I am also well acquainted with the applicant, and have been for twenty years & upwards. He supports the character of an upright honest man. He is now quite old & infirm. I have always heard him say, ever since I knew

him that he had served from the beginning to the end of the war - I believed him, and such is, as far as I know, the belief in the neigh- borhood in which he resides. I have heard an intimation to the contrary. I trust the case will be reconsidered - If I did most sincerely believe he is entitled to the benefit of the act I would not again trouble you.
With great respect Yours &c.

I drew the within affidavit hastily, at the request of Mr. Poland. The words "or paper" were inserted after the word discharge at his special request, he alleging, he was not willing to say the paper handed was an absolute discharge or a furlough. and in answer a question I put to him, whether if the war continued, he considered himself released, he said no, he enlisted during the war, and meant to hang on. I know Moses V. Grant to be a justice of the Peace for the county of Garand Ky.

Alex R McKee Clerk Garrard County Court

State of Kentucky Garrard County ss.
On this the fifteenth day of January A.D. 1855 personally appeared before me a Justice of the Peace within area for the County and State above named Edward Taylor aged twenty nine years a resident of Garrard County and State of Kentucky and a Credible person who being first duly sworn says on his oath as follows. I was born and raised in Garrard County Kentucky in the immediate neighborhood of Absalom Pollard and his wife Seanna Pollard. The said Absalom Pollard was a revolutionary pensioner and was reputed to be a fair gentleman in the Revolutionary war in his lifetime. I was much about his house and knew him and his wife Seanna Pollard well from my earliest recollection until they died. They were esteemed by those who knew them persons of good moral character while I knew them and I never heard any thing alleged to the contrary. The said Absalom Pollard and his wife Seanna Pollard were much beloved by their neighborhood - rather more so than people generally. They both died in Garrard County in the State of Kentucky. The said Absalom died first. He died in the year 1835 and I have always understood from his family and neighbors that he died on the 30 th day of August 1835 and from my own recollection and comparing the event of his death with other events I believe he died at that time. I was present at his burial and saw him buried. He was buried as a revolutionary soldier with the honors of

war. The Militia were called out and had a procession and fired guns over his grave and dead body. I though young at the time have a distinct recollection of the time and occurrence as it was the first Military parade of the kind I had ever seen - I was also present at the burial of the said Leanna Pollard and saw her interred. She died in Garrard County in the State of Kentucky on the 8 th day of Jan- uary 1846 - She never married after the death of her said husband - She and the said Absalom were very old persons when they died. I would think near ninety years each - They left the following children who are now living Absalom Pollard, Solomon Pollard, Leanna Waylen, Sarah Waylen, Nancy Herring and Reuben Pollard who are the only children of the said Absalom and Leanna Pollard Now living. I know them and they have ever been treated and recognized by the said Absalom and Leanna Pollard as their legitimate offspring and were so regarded by all who knew. The said Absalom and Leanna lived together as husband and wife until death separated them and were so regarded and treated by all who knew them. I never heard the legality of their marriage called in question or doubted.
I state above that the said Leanna Pollard died on the 8 th day of January 1846. Upon reflection I am mistaken - She died on the 8 th day of January 1845 - I know from the following circumstances. I was married on the 27 th day of June 1844 and

the said Leanna died in the January following. On the day she died I had a team to run away which was a disastrous affair and from these occurrences I am excused to fix the time.
I am in no wise interested in the claim of the administration or heirs of the said Absalom and Leanna Pollard for money due on account of the Military Services of the said Absalom Pollard. I am not counsel or attorney of any of said persons or concerned in the preparation or presentation of said claim. I was married on the twenty seventh day of June 1844.

On this the thirteenth day of January 1855 personally appeared before me a Justice of the Peace within and for the County and State at me named William Wilson a resident of Garrard County in the State of Kentucky aged fifty one years and a credible person who being first duly sworn states as follows. I was born and raised in Garrard County Kentucky within half a mile of where Absalom Pollard and Leanna Pollard his wife lived during their residence in Kentucky and died. I knew them both well from my earliest recollection until they died. The said Absalom died first and the said Leanna never married afterwards but lived until her death the widow of the said Absalom. The said Absalom was a Revolutionary pensioner and I always understood was a second first lieutenant in the Revolutionary war from Virginia. I always understood that the said Absalom and his wife Leanna removed from the State of Virginia to the State of Kentucky where they died in Garrard County. The said Absalom Pollard died in the year 1835. I was present at the grave and saw him buried. I think in August 1835. He was buried with the honors of war. The military were called out and had a procession and fired volleys over his body at the grave. I was not present when the said Leanna Pollard was buried. I saw her a day or two before her death in a very feeble condition and heard her death talked of by several of the neighbors when it occurred. I have often seen the grave of the said Absalom and Leanna Pollard. They are buried at their old homestead in Garrard County Kentucky. Leanna Pollard above mentioned

died in January 1845 - I have understood from members of her family that she died on the 8. Jan'y 1845 and that her husband the said Absalom Pollard died on the 30 th day of August 1885 - (eighteen hundred and thirty five) - They lived together as husband and wife while I knew them until the death of the said Absalom and were so recognized by all who knew them. I now heard the validity of their marriage called in question - They raised a family of children that were recognized by them and the whole community as their legitimate offspring and not who inherited their estate at their death. The following persons are the children and only children of the said Absalom and Leonora Pollard who are living to wit. Absalom Pollard, Houston Pollard, Leonora Martha Sarah Mayfield, Nancy Herring and Ruben Pollard. I know said children well and they are living and the only children living of the said Absalom and Leonora Pollard. Neither of them ever had any other children that are now alive - I have no doubt but the said Absalom and Leonora Pollard died at the times above mentioned.
I am in no way interested in the claim of the heirs or administration of said Absalom and Leonora for money due from the United States on account of the military services of the said Absalom - I am not the lawful agent or attorney of any of said parties or interested or concerned in said claim or its prosecution or presentation -

(You will perceive that from the accompanying petition and evidence, that James M. Pollard who is the administrator of Abraham Pollard as a Revolutionary Pensioner, has also administration of the widow (Leanna Pollard) of the said Abraham. Claims for the surviving children of the said Abraham & Leanna, a small sum of money due in account of the Revolutionary Services of the former - Abraham Pollard in his lifetime drew a pension - It is uncertain whether his widow drew or not before her death. Her papers were prepared but she received no money. If drawn at all, it was by an agent who never paid over to her -
Heres Mr. Pollard now as administrator of both in a single petition claims any thing that may be due, & etc. - Please examine the Com and issue Certificate for whatever may be due -
Abraham Pollard in his lifetime drew as a private , when in fact he was a lieutenant . The accompanying papers and rolls will show that fact, I presume. This will of course entitle his heirs to something more - I presume the rolls will show the fact. I cannot be certain not having them before me -
