William's grave at St. Lukes [16 September 2014]

dear cos1776

Hiits a great thing that you are doing. whp I guess would be my gg uncle. my name is joan pollock gass. i have been to st lukes cemetary three times the first two w/no success. the third was a success. i found him . i understand that st anns church burials were in the same graveyard but were just connected and st lukes took over. his stone is right in front of the Blossom burials that has a wrought iron fence around it. there is a big tree right there in front of and before the wrought iron fence. it distinctly a stone that lists w.h.p. and date and a saying "Home at Last". maybe he was on the border and was actually in st annes, but it is the same burial yard (st annes and st lukes) do you think you can get a pcture of it, I would be forever so grateful. the caroline pollock was his wife.

thank you again for your great work. if I still lived in new york i would be able to do this my self, i live in florida now and cant go to new y york.--Pearlharbor777 14:16, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for the information. I have linked Caroline's Find A Grave page to William's and will create a page for her here as well. I will also see what I can do about getting a photo of William's grave marker. It would be nice to be able to add more information about the extended family as well if you'd like to help with that. Any family history information and/or photos that you would like to share are most welcome. If you click on the "Watch" link in the upper left corner, you will be able to follow the progress of any page. Regards, --Cos1776 14:40, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello again. Thank you for sharing the info. I will log your message on his Talk page. All of these WeRelate pages are created by volunteer users, so I encourage you to feel free to jump in to create pages for his family and to add your information and sources if you'd like. I am happy to help you get started or to enter it for you, if you'd prefer. BTW - I noticed that a headstone photo has now been added to his FindAGrave page. Best Wishes. --Cos1776 15:44, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

I went ahead and started on a couple of the surrounding pages - so that Robert A. Pollock's military service could be categorized in the Civil War project here at WeRelate. --Cos1776 16:47, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

]]hi, i think your just great what does btw mean> i cant seem to find any of thomas's and lauras church records or mother and fathers names, from a relative of alexander joyce who was searching for martha pollock, who alexander was married to, and she told me that martha was speaking french? one of the censuses from rebecca says her father was born in fresssssscanada. .alexander was born in 1828 in fairfield ct. i believe. one of the censuses say laura was born in ny, another says ct. and another says vermont. the other says natick mass. i don't know. although i did find a thomas pollock and laura in haverhill mass. that seemed to be right. but cant find them on any other list in that area., also great barrington mass. where the joyces lived.rebecca lived in philadelphia pa and is buried in arlington . cant find where rebecca a pollock died either, dont know what happend to her, she did live with her son rodman roberts till 1910 in the bronx ny, after that i dont know, rodman moved to camden nj. have to dig out some old records , thannks so much for helping. i wish i could send these records to ancestry FAMILY TREE....HAVE A GREAT DAY
