Notes:  A letter from Howard Hazelwood:

    Regarding your recent letter, Jeanelle Collier and I discovered
    early in our Lenderman research that the Pollard family lived next
    to the Lenderman family in Greenville County, SC. Enclosed are
    family group sheets for Benjamin G. Pollard Sr. and our Benjamin
    G. Pollard, Jr. made in 1982. Since we could never prove for sure
    that James Pollard was a son of Benjamin G. Pollard, Jr. and
    Sarah Pollard was his daughter, we did not wish to publish our
    research. Based on the 1810 census record for Greenville
    County, SC Benjamin Pollard Jr. had four sons and one daughter.
    We have fair proof he had an additional daughter born ca. 1820. I
    feel he had other children before his second marriage to Rachel
    Parks on 6 Dec 1829. he had eleven children by Rachel that are
    fairly well proven. The name of his first wife was thought to be
    Sarah but cannot be proven.
    James Pollard is listed on the 1850 Cherokee County Census,
    pages 102-B and 103-A as follows:

    Name sex age born
    James Pollard M 46 SC
    Caroline " F 43 SC
    Rebecca F 22 SC
    Henry M 17 AL
    Nancy F 15 AL
    Sidney F 13 AL
    Caroline F 11 AL
    Benjamin M 9 AL
    Reuben M 6 AL
    Martha F 4 AL
    Ezekiel M 3/12 AL

    You can see Sarah Pollard (age 19) would fit very well after
    Rebecca and before Henry. She had married Levi Lenderman by
    1850. Sidney Pollard (age 13) later married Henry Lenderman,
    brother of Levi. James, Caroline, and Rebecca could not read or
    write and James owned no land. He died between 1850 and
    1860. Levi and Sarah named a daughter Rebecca (probably after
    Sarah's sister). They also named their first son Henry (after the
    father of Levi and/or brother of Sarah and/or her grandfather.
    Caroline Pollard lived in Cherokee County until 1899 with her
    land going to her daughter, Nancy Cumby, and Thomas Cumby.
    The other children had left the county. The 1840 census for
    Cherokee County has so many errors you cannot use it for most
    of our families. We cannot find James Pollard on the 1830 or
    1840 census. There is a James Pollard listed on the 1840 census
    but it will not fit. The Pollard history may never be proven for
    sure. We do not wish to claim a line that cannot be proven.
