Kansas City Historical Co. 1881

WM. A. POLLOCK,

P.O. Fayetteville.  Was born in Lincoln county, Kentucky, February 25,
1818.  His father was a cotton spinner by trade, and a native of
Ireland.  At the age of twenty-seven, W.A. Pollock was married to Miss
Margaret J. Davis, and reared a family consisting of five boys and four
girls.  He resided in Lincoln county, near Stanford, the county seat,
until the fall of 1867, when he removed to Johnson county, Missouri,
where he has since remained.  His farm contains 327 acres of land, with
125 acres in cultivation.  Mr. Pollock took no part in the civil war,
but remained on his farm, pursuing his rustic occupation.  The travelers
who by chance stop under his hospitable roof, are entertained in a
pleasant and lively manner by his reminiscences of his early days in old
Kentucky.  His high character for honesty and generosity are widely
known.
