Pollok, Angelina Co. namesake?
I see from a bit of research that the post office at Pollok, Texas was established circa 1886, but no suggestion as to why this name was chosen. Bumped into the place while researching some Finley families from Georgia who ended up in Angelina Co. I believe that Allen R. Finley (born circa 1810, Georgia) may have been related to some of these folks and his wife was Harriet Pollock.
Just trying to follow up on the name coincidence and see if indeed this may have been named for someone in the family.
