Individual:
1. From our primary source Bill Polk's notes:
"John fought on the side of Queen Mary at the Battle of Langside in 1567. Her side losing, he forfeited his property.
William Harrison Polk seems to have gotten the Pollok line mixed up at times, but on page 4 of his 'Polk Family and Kinsmen,' 1912, he writes a statement which clearly shows that he believes the split between the Pollok line of Scotland and the one in Ireland must have occurred with the sons of John Pollok and Janet Mure. He states: 'In 1646, Sir George Maxwell, of the Nether Pollok, was married to Lady Annabella Stuart, lineal descendant of King Robert 3d, and their granddaughter, Annabella, married her cousin, Sir Robert Pollok of Upper Pollok, grandnephew of Sir Robert of Ireland, whose nephew, Ezekiel Stuart, married Debora Annerly.' First, a correction (which has no bearing on what follows): Annabella Maxwell was the daughter, not the granddaughter, of George Maxwell (see Burke source under Annabella Maxwell). Secondly, Sir Robert Pollok of Upper Pollok (in Scotland) and Sir Robert of Ireland, do share a common ancestor, their ggrandfather John De Pollok, whose two sons (Sir Robert Pollok of Ireland, and John De Pollok of Scotland) being brothers, would be the granduncle of any grandchildren the other had. Burke's Presidents, 1981, second edition (see above) follows this thinking in its lineage from President Polk back to John De Pollok/Janet Mure. Burke's Presidents does point out that the line is not proven from John De Pollok to Robert Bruce Pollok, but is very probable.
As to who Ezekiel Stuart (and his wife Debora Annerly), nephew of Sir Robert of Ireland, is, the answer to that question could well lead to figuring out the details of the line in Ireland. Was Ezekiel a son of a sister of Sir Robert (I) (said sister having married a Stuart male)?
In addition, although she, too, seemed to have mixed up the Pollok line somewhat, Mary Winder Garrett, shows, on pg. 378 of 'The American Historical Magazine,' Vol. II, No. 4, October, 1897, that she believed the Pollok line in Scotland continued with John de Pollok (she shows this John De Pollok as the son of Robert De Pollok, said Robert also having a younger son, Robert de Pollok, who inherited the estate in Ireland). She writes (quoting from written communication to W. R. Polk, from Mrs. W. H. Polk, wife of W. H. Polk, brother of ex-President Polk): 'This Sir Robert's oldest son, Sir John, inherited the hereditary estate in old Scotland. And the present heir [timeframe here is 1873-1900 or so] is Sir Hugh Crawford Pollok, and the family seats are 'Pollok Castle,' 'Newton Mearum,' Glasgow. The ancient Arms of Pollok, I have seen stated, were legalized in 1595, to Sir John de Pollok, first baron Nova Scotia, and to these were added upon the marriage of Lady Robina Pollok, the heir of the Regal house of Crawford, the honor supporters.' See Robina Pollok m. to Hugh Crawfurd in database."
