      information about birth from 1850 Census - age 87, born Amelia Co. Francis Pollard appears in every census of Charlotte Co., Virginia, from 1810-1850. In the 1850 census he lived with his wife, Martha, and Edwire [Edward?] and Martha St. John. Francis Pollard is described as a planter and had $1,200 of real property.

      Rudd - Pollard - Youngblood and Related Families by Margaret Rudd Youngblood, privately published, at page 213 indicates that Francis and his family moved from Charlotte to Halifax County in 1829, citing Halifax Co.

      I, Francis Pollard, sen., of the county of Charlotte and state of Virginia do make and declare this writing as and for my last will and testament hereby revoking all former wills-
      1. In the first place I direct the prompt and speedy payment of all my just debts.
      2. I lend unto my wife Martha Pollard during her natural life a negro woman, such as she may choose out of my estate, to wait upon her.
      3. All the rest and residue of my estate both real and personal I direct to be kept together under the control and management of my executors for the comfortable support and maintenance of my wife during her natural life - and in case the profits of the estate should prove insufficient for that purpose, my executors are authorized to use such portion of the principal as may be necessary.
      4. At the death of my wife, I order, will and direct that the whole of my estate, real and personal, then remaining be sold, by my executors and the money arising form the sale be divided as follows -
      5. To my grandchildren John Powers and Martha Powers, children of my deceased daughter, Parkey Powers, one twentieth part to be equally divided between them, and the residue of said money to be divided into nine parts as follows -
      6. To my sons Thomas S. Pollard, Francis Pollard, Isaac Pollard, and William Pollard one ninth part each, without any charge against them.
      7. To the four youngest children of my deceased son Warner Pollard, namely Washington, William, Francis, and Robert, one ninth part to be equally divided between them - but out of this ninth part I direct my Executors to pay to my son Thomas S. Pollard a debt due him from my said deceased son Warner Pollard amounting to one hundred and eighty-three dollars and 86 cents ($183.86), to carry interest from this day till paid, in case the said ninth part should not amount to enough to pay the whole of the said debt and interest, then they will pay so much thereof, as the said ninth may amount to and no more.
      8. I direct that one ninth part be set apart for the use of my son George Pollard and to be paid over to my son Thomas S. Pollard as a trustee for his use, but not to be in any manner liable to the debts or control of the said George but out of this portion of my estate thus provided for my said son George, I order, will, and direct my executors to pay to my son Thomas S. Pollard for his own use the full amount of a debt owing to him by the said George, to wit the sum of one hundred thirty-two dollars and five cents ($132.05), with legal interest thereon from the 25th day of March, 1826, till paid, and in case the said ninth should not amount to enough to pay the said debt and interest, then they will pay so much as the said ninth may amount to and no more -
      9. To my daughter Eliza Maloney I give one ninth part, but out of her ninth I direct my executors to pay to my son Thomas S. Pollard the full amount of a debt due him from Campbell Maloney, the husband of the said Eliza Maloney, to wit the sum of eight hundred dollars ($800) with legal interest thereon form the 15th day of October, 1834 till paid and in case the said ninth should not amount to enough to pay the aid debt and interest, they will pay so much thereof as the said ninth may amount to and no more -
      This provision to pay the debt due from the said Campbell Maloney to the said Thomas S. Pollard is made in compliance with an obligation which I entered into with him the 15th day of October, 1834.
      10. To my daughter Martha Garner I give one ninth part, but she is to be charged in the division with the value of a negro woman named Betty heretofore given her.
      11. To my daughter Nancy Hines I give one ninth part, but she is to be charged in the division with the value of a negro woman named Alsey heretofore given her -
      I appoint my sons Thomas S. Pollard and Francis Pollard Executors of this my last will and testament.
      Given under my hand and seal this 24th day of February, 1846.
