What county was Pollard in before it was Escambia County

Escambia Co was formed in Dec of 1868, from Baldwin Co>Co on the West, and Conecuh Co on the East.
My own relatives were near Foshee, north of Pollard
and I have found them in the 1860 Baldwin Co census.

I would guess, therefore, that it is likely Baldwin, but
not 100% sure where the Conecuh line actually was.
You may need a Dollarhide book to see the boundqaries
of the 1860 and 1870 lines--there is one in the
Pensacola City Library, and I will go there probably
on Friday.

agavegirl,
I went to the library today and found the Dollarhide book of US Census boundaries.
I sorry to say that I am apparently wrong---it appears that Pollard was WELL INTO Conecuh Co, before Escambia was formed.

The North/South dividing line between Baldwin and Conecuh was quite a ways WEST of Pollard.

Any other questions I could help you with??

ERS,
Pensacola, FL
Sorry for the earlier error.
