- The Pollock Family of Pennsylvania (1883) by Horace Hayden. A small section was submitted by former PA governor James Pollock (1810-1890) of Northumberland County for inclusion into the book. The Governor is the grandson of Samuel Pollock, through William.
Two James Pollocks, born 1764 and 1767, were formerly linked as sons of Samuel. Based on wills of the daughters of James Pollock born 1777, their affairs were overseen by children of Richard Pollock, his much younger brother, and therefore linked to him. Furthermore, James born 1777 resided in the house owned by Samuel. Son Richard is buried next to Samuel at Derry Presbyterian.

Hon. James Pollock, who is a descendant of Samuel, writes:
“My ancestors, of both branches, were of Scotch descent, and emigrated from Londonderry, Belfast, and the county Antrim, Ireland, about 1732, and landed at what is now Chester, Pa, where they remained for some years.
Subsequently, some of the family removed to Dauphin, Cumberland, and Northumberland counties, and other places on the North and West branches of the Susquehanna.
Some went west, and some to North Carolina. The Polks of N. C. and the family of the late President Polk were of the same stock; his family records showing the arrival and settlement of his forefathers in Chester County, and their removal to N. C., and that in all their original records, deeds, &c., the name is written in full "Pollock".”
