His son, John Pollen I, grandson, John Pollen II (c. 1642 – by November 1719), and great-grandson, John Pollen III (c. 1702 – 1775), all represented Andover in the House of Commons. The latter was the father of the first Baronet. The second Baronet also sat as Member of Parliament for this constituency 1820–21 and 1835–41. As of 13 June 2007 the presumed 8th and present Baronet has not successfully proved his succession and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage. [2]
