Pennsylvania native Abraham David Pollock (1807 - 1890) began his ministry in Western Virginia during the 1830s. He married Elizabeth Gordon Lee, first cousin to Robert E. Lee, and spent his entire career in the Old Dominion. No doubt his intimate tie to the Lee Family enhanced his position in society.

Overall craquelure; some chipping to the frame.
