He obtained patent on Hollis Creek for 1050 acres on January 3, 1661. He married Mary Baldridge (~1641-77), daughter of James (d.1659) and Dorothy Baldridge (d.1662). Her sister dk~~ied Captain Daniel Liston who was a magistrate and known .- for his knowledge of the languages of the different Indian tribes. Nathaniel Pope Jr. died early and left an Qfl.J..Y son, Nathaniel Pope III (1660-1719). Mary Baldridge married again in 16'l:i?, David Wickliffe (1640-) who may have been an ancestor of the Wickliffes in Kentucky. 43 NATHANIEL POPE III, 1660-1719 Nathaniel Pope III, the o~ly son of Nathaniel Jr. (c1640-70) and Mary Baldridge Pope (c1641-77), was born in 1660 probably at Popes Creek. He was a man of large property interests in Richmond and Westmoreland Counties, Virginia. He was practitioner at law and King's attorney for Westmoreland County and clerk of Stafford, County. He was guardian for Nathaniel Washington. He married in 1692, Jane Brooks Brown (1668-1752), daughter of OrGl and Jane Brooks Brown (b.1644) and granddaughter of Henry (d.1662/82) and ~rooks, of Westmoreland County. They had several children, William, Mary (cl692-p1726), Lewis, John (c1695-1735), Nathaniel(?) (d.1737), Jane, Worden (1700-49) and Elizabeth Pope. 44 William and Lewis Pope probably died in childhood. Mary (c1692>1726) married Joseph Weeks (c1680-1716) and had a daughter, Jane. 45 Elizabeth married Bowen Price of King George Co. and had children, Ann, John and William Price.46 In the original history of the descendants of Nathaniel Pope it was noted that the descendants of Nathaniel Pope III were numerous and widely scattered throughout the Southern and Western States. The history then pursued with special particularity the genealogy of the family up to the foundation of the Kentucky branches. Nathaniel Pope III died in 1719. His wife, Jane Brooks Brown, died on June 30, 1752, in Westmoreland County.
