Early Years in Ireland
Samuel Pollock was born in County Tyrone in Ulster (North) Ireland. He joined the Mormon Church, emigrated from Ireland to America and traveled to Nauvoo, Illinois, the main church center.
Migration to Utah
In 1846 Pollock and other family members joined the Mormon exodus from western Illinois. Around 1847 he married Elizabeth Reeves (1829-1864) of Shropshire, England and their first child was born while they resided in Nebraska territory.
By 1850 they had collected the means to equip and provision an outfit for the western trek. They joined the William Snow-Joseph Young Company at the outfitting post at Kanesville (present-day Council Bluffs), Iowa. This company was organized near the Missouri River and departed in late June. In the Pollock family were Samuel, 26, Elizabeth, 21, and Hyrum Reeves, 2.
The Mormon Trail
They passed the usual milestones on the trail: Fort Kearney, the South Fork of the Platte River, Chimney Rock, Fort Laramie, the Sweetwater River, Independence Rock, Devil's Gate, Green River, Fort Bridger, Bear River, and Weber River. After suffering the usual hardships of overland trail they arrived in the valley of the Great Salt Lake in mid-September. Almost immediately, Pollock went to work as a laborer.
Settling in Utah County
By 1852 they had moved south to Utah County and pioneered in Spanish Fork (or nearby Palmyra, another new settlement), on the Spanish Fork River, which flowed west into Utah Lake. The settlement was organized that year and Pollock was appointed as the first secretary or recorder of the fledgling community.
