Thomas rollard. who settled in Billerica in lii'.ili. Of this family Savage.t

The early members of this f.imily. so f.-ir as wc c.in Ic.irn. belonged to the
honest yeomanry of New England. Industrious, intcllimni and patriotic, they
formed a pai-l of that strong middle class frcun which has ori.ginated much of

eighteenth century. Numerous descendants were in the French and Indian

WILLIAM POLLARD- iif ( 'nvciiny. Waiwii-ksliirc. Enjilaiui. is the earliest
aiicestDi- to whom we i-aii trace our line in America. So far as we know.
he lived anil ilieil at that place ilurinL' the latter part of the seventeenth
century. A search of the parish reconls in Coventry will probably yield
some facts concerninj.' him. It is known that he married Mary Farmer,
daughter of .lohn Farmer and Isabella, his wife.t of Ansley, in the .same
county. The sons and daughters if William I'ollard were as follows:
William. John. Klijiahetli. Nathaniel. Thomas. Joseph and .lames. M'illiam
and .Vathauii'l lived in London: John. Fliiiabetli. Joseph and James in
Coventry.

THOMAS POLLARD- iWilliam'i was the first of this line who lived iu
.\niirica. lie removed to Hillerica.t in the jirovince of Massachusetts
Hay, about liiltli "and purchased the place and 'ri.uhf which had been
William Hale's, near the fordway, and received in 170.S a .sirant of thirty
acres between the road to the fordw.-i.v and the road which turns east
from it." Nov. i), ]ii!(2. he married Sarah, daushter of Edward Fariuer,§
who was a brother of .Mar.v Farmer, mentioned above. Thomas I'ollard
.and his wife were therefore own cousins. Their children, born at Bil-
lerica, were as follows:

1. Mary. b. .\uir. L'll. ic,!!:!: m. .losliua Wyman.

•In a letter (iescribing the events of the battle Colonel William Prescott says of
Ma diath: "He was so mar mo that my clothes were besmeared with his blood and
brains, which I wiped off In some desree with a handful of fri sh earth. The sight
was so shockinK lo many of the men that they left their posts and ran to view him.
I then onlerid him lo be liuricd instantly. A subaltern officer expressed surprise
that I should allow him to be burled without having- prayers said. I replied: 'This is
the lirsi man that has been killed and the only one that will be buried today. God
only knows who or how many of us will fall before it is over.' "

♦John Farmer, the early genealo.i^ist of New England, makes this note on his
ancestor and ours: "Mrs. Isribell Wiswall was wife of John Farmer of Ansley, in the
county of Warwickshire, and came lo this country with some of her children after
his death, which occurred prior to IfiiM. It appears from original papers that she was
a sister lo Rev. Thomas .Muston of Wykin and afterward of Brinklow, England. She
marrl.d .\lr. Thomas Wiswall. whence she acquired the name." She died at Billerica
Mass.. March 21. H'>,S6.

:Blllerica is a small town located about twenty miles northwest of Boston.
It was originally a part ot Cambridge, from which it was set oft as a distinct town
In Km.

KKdwaril Farmer came to Billerica probably in IC71. "His house lot was on the
east side of Long street and remained in possession of the family until a recent
date. The house was a garrison." Mr. Farmer died May 27. 1727 aged about 87
His wife. Mary, died March 26. 1719. aged 77.

Edward, his only son (173.t-lS14). was a soldier in the Revolution. Of his tour
grandsons bearing his name Edward and Jeremiah lived in Vermont, and Jonathan
and William lived In Billerica. A grandson of Jonathan. Rev. George Adams Pol-

of his sons and four grandsons were in the service during the wars with the
French and Indians, and four grandsons and at least four great-grandsons
were in the Itevolutionary war. Thomas Pollard died intestate^ April 4, 1724.
A little more than a year later his wife, Sarah, died (May 3, 1725).
