Henry B. Pollard〔(''A History of Ashland, Kentucky 1786 - 1954'', pg. 96 )〕 was the first postmaster of Ashland, Kentucky〔(The Kentucky Encyclopedia )〕〔(''Ashland'' by James Powers, Terry Baldridge )〕 (known at that time as Poage's Landing), who established the post office as Pollard Mills on December 23, 1847, the same year the first adhesive postage stamps were used. On February 18, 1883, Pollard was married to Sophia Poage, with whom he had ten children.〔(''A chapter of Hopkins genealogy: 1735 - 1905'' )〕 In 1848 he established a tan yard and grist mill near his home on the south side of what is now Pollard Road, west of the Catholic Cemetery. On October 1, 1849, "Henry B. Pollard of Greenup (Boyd County not yet being formed)" met at Frankfort, Kentucky to form the present-day constitution of Kentucky.〔(link ''A History of Kentucky'' by William B. Allen )〕 In 1854, after the Poage Settlement became known as Ashland, the Pollard Mills post office was also renamed Ashland.〔("Kentucky Atlas & Gazetteer." University of Kentucky. 8 Jan. 2007 )〕 Despite this, the primitive industrial complex that grew around Pollard's grist mill was also named Pollard Mills, and it retains that title to this day.〔(The Herald-Dispatch )〕 Pollard's name appears in the 1861 tax index for Boyd County, Kentucky.〔(1861 Boyd County Tax Index )〕 ==Notes and references== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「H.
