Hoyt J. Pollard was born in Rabun County, Georgia to Willie Pollard and Ann Pomeroy. He had eight siblings, including Cresley, Terry, Ricky, Gary, Delores, Vicky and Thomas.
Hoyt is listed as an actor on IMDb, known for his role as "boy at gas station" in the 1972 film Deliverance. However, it should be noted that many people mistake his role with the more famous role of the boy playing the banjo, which was played by Billy Redden.
According to IMDb, Hoyt worked at a Walmart in Georgia. While it is unclear if this is the same Hoyt Pollard who acted in Deliverance, many of the details match. An obituary for Hoyt J. Pollard can be found at Hoyt J Pollard: Obituary.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
