One of my Pollock ancestors had a family member christened Washington Smith
Pollock. I don't know if he was related to SMITHs of the area or whether he
was named after a minister / doctor as sometimes happened. The previous
generation was Robert Pollock married to Isabella Smith. Washington is a
very unusual name in the wider area, although there are a few "Washington
Smiths" in the area, which must be significant.
	>>Their son  Washington Smith (of Moyagoney - abt 1810) married
Jane Johnston abt 1815
I take it the dates of 1810 and 1815 mentioned are Washingtons and Janes
DOBs.
Interesting to see that they moved to T OCrilley church after it was built,
being closer to Moyagney than Kilrea 1st, where Washinton was on the
communicants list in 1835.
