Looks like Edmor Pollard. There is a a little swiggly at the bottom of the E and a curve at the top of the M that looks like something to connect them.
To me, it looks like E Mor or Emor Pollard. This is where, I think, one or more additional sources of proof will secure the correct name. Also, back then, not only were there errors, but, also, they thought nothing of using a nickname instead of a proper name; even on legal documents. My grandmother's name was Margaret Lucille, but her name was just shown as Maggie on her marriage license.
Emor Pollard I gues...
ReplyDeleteI agree with Blanka - but I cannot say I've seen
ReplyDeletethis given name before.

ReplyDeleteCould be Elnore/Elinore Pollard.
ReplyDeleteI suspect it's Eme or Emme, both of which are short for Emeline, which other records indicate is the person's full name.
ReplyDeleteElnor Pollard (female)
ReplyDeleteI take that back...I had so many windows open, I was looking at the wrong family group for my comparison in 1850.
ReplyDeleteElmer Pollard? What about the name underneath?
ReplyDeleteEdna Pollard
ReplyDeleteElnor Pollard
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought Elmer, but then noticed the gender is female, so I'm changing my mind to Elnor.
ReplyDeleteElmor Pollard - maybe it was supposed to be Elmer as the first name?
ReplyDeleteEmor Pollard -- perhaps a misheard/misspelled "Emma"?

ReplyDeleteEdmor Pollard or Elmor Pollard. I cannot decide which.
ReplyDeleteEmor Pollard is it.
ReplyDeleteShe was Emma as a child, but actually used Emmar as an adult. It is even on her tombstone.
Casefile Clues readers will remember Emmar well--she was married 6 times and had an interesting Civil War widow's pension.
