I’ve got an old studio photograph of Rev. John POLLOCK which was taken at the Gilbert Temple Studio in Clinton, IA. John is identified as “Brother” on the back of this photograph which was likely taken in the 1890’s with John appearing to be in his 60’s or 70’s at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding John and his family: John POLLOCK was b. 3 Oct 1821 in Strabane, Ireland, to James POLLOCK (1785-1864) and Margaret MCINTIRE (1797-1837) who were married in Ireland in 1820. John was one of 10 children born to this couple including John; Isabella; Joseph; Andrew; Aaron; William; Ann; James; Margaret; and Eliza POLLOCK, all born between 1821 and 1837. John married Eunice or Emmice Alvira or Elvira ELLIS (1824-1895) on 1 May 1849 in Woodstock, VT. John and his wife had 5 children including Loring Lee POLLOCK (b. 1851); John Loring POLLOCK (1852-1941); Charles Andrew POLLOCK (1853-1928); William Ellsworth or Elsworth POLLOCK (1861-1922); and Guy Evans POLLOCK, all born between 1851 and 1865. John died 23 Feb 1896 in Clinton County, IA and is buried in the Oakland Cemetery in Clinton, IA. I would like to get the photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be. Thanks, Shelley
