George was born about 1702. He passed away in 1765.
George Pollard came to Amelia County about 1736, and in July 1737 was granted a patent for 382 acres on Sandy Creek.[1] He may have been there earlier as a patent of June 1737 to John Harris states that it adjoins George Pollard; Patent Book 17, p. 314. "A Plat of the Land Patents of Amelia Co., Virginia", Amelia County Historical Committee, 1987, shows those two patents; they are in the westernmost portion of the county. George Pollard's patent is separated from the Appomattox River by only one other patent, and the Appomattox is the boundary between Amelia and Prince Edward counties. The patent is just east of present Farmville.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with George by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with George:
I've detached the recently added parents for whom there is no proof and reproposed the merge that had been set to unmerged match. The result needs PPP (Southern Colonies if they'll have him.)
Pollard-2757 and Pollard-1218 appear to represent the same person because: Re-proposing this merge. They clearly represent the same person. The lower-numbered profile is sourced. I then strongly recommend PPP by Southern Colonies project to prevent changes to parental and spousal relationships.
I've added Francis Pollard [Pollard-759] as a child. Although further documentation would be welcome, his age fits the Francis Pollard named as a tithable in the "Life of George Pollard" linked here.
