Nathaniel Pope Jr., the second son of Lt. Colonel Nathaniel ( cl600-60) and Lucy Pope, was born c1640, at st. Mary's, Maryland and otherwise lived and died at the family seat, Popes Creek. 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.

Mourning MoKinnie :Pepe muet have died in 1744 ;.- -poss1bl,. seQn a!ter the birth ef her last child as a Deed executed by John Pope on Nev. 29, 1744- ne mention is made of his wife. · Se far - I d~ n@t hRve to~ much en Lewis Pepe - that is !rom N. C. records. I ho,e tG get tG Geergia s0metime in the !uture and feel sure that there can ebtain a good deal of inf0rmation. Lewis :Po·pe and his brother Jesse married sisters, Ann and Mary• daughters of ,Sgt. Elias Fert. The only proof I have is as tollowsi BGQk on ''Marriages &f Early Edgecombe OGi:inty''• N. c. by Ruth Smith Williams - states the fe1lowingr P<:>;.>e ----t0 Ann, dau~hter of Elias Fort, 1765 Po9e ----t9 Ma~y, " " " , 1765 ( Rec0rds in Hali.fax Colmty, N. C. Will Baek l, PaBe 208) ' Also, Winifred l'e::_,.,•s will (sister of Lewis) died unmarried and her will mentiGns Ann and ~wis. Will 1762, Halifax C(:nmty, .N. o. (Will b©©k #1, ~ageR 85 & 86). Since this will wqs prebated 1762 - Ann and Lewis must have married about this time and not in 1765. Also - Ann must have died before or by 1766, as the will of her father Sgt. Elias Pert, J;>roba.ted in 1766, does not name any grllndcbildx·en named ~gpe er Ann - but does name Mary Pope. Had Ann • had smy ohj,ldren, they wa.uld have had a claim against their Brand!ather 's estate. J.Bwis must have been only 17 Or 18 yea.rs old ·when he and Ann ut'Jrrie d •' · Hia will sives his wife's name as Jemima so he roust have married again by 1766 as they have_a child whose birthday is giv,en as 1767. {Se far whe Jemima was before marrying Lewis haa ho~ been preved as yet). But we ( knew from deeds executed in 1773 - that his wife's name was Jemima. Deeds as fQll&ws: 1. (Deed B0ok 10, 'Pfi86 147, Halifax Oeunty, N.

Dear Mrs. Lane: . I have developed.a hobby o~ ge~ealogy of the Popesi.any and all Popes - nothing commercial about it, JUSY a ho~by, and de ight in furnishing any information I have, or exchanging, with others who are in teres tad. Mr. Alex Pope , Jr. who has just recently moved here from Angle ton Texas son of Alex Pope of Dallas, and gr. son of Alex Pope of Mar shail Tex~s , gave m ~ the address of Mrs . G. C. (Sunshine Pope) Trumbo, Norfoik, Va. . who gave me considerable information and referred me to you 0 for more . She said you are "a real genealogis t , and have "made an ex tensive study of our line. " Did she mean you are a professional gene alogist? Years ago an aunt , now deceased, gave me a manuscript, copy of one made years before for a relative in Georgia and which had been passed along and added to until it reached me . It carried our family line through John Pope brother of Worden Pope to Nathaniel(l610-1660). Some how I'D.ad doubts from the beginning but didn&t find any error for a couple of years and was about to accept it/ Found it interesting and surprising to me that I could find so much on record connecting with my family, so kept on searching in the library. Finall~ I found the error and now know William Pope the Quaker .J( 1634-11700) who I believe was a younger :Hr brother of Nathaniel1 (1610-1600), was my emigrant ancestor. The manuscr1:Qt given me showed John Pope (bro. of Worden) m. his cousin, Elizabeth Pope and had sons Nathaniel , John Henry and William. John Henry and William went to Chowan Co ., N.C. where John Henry m. Miss McKennie Ii rs t, and Tabitha _ second . The correct story is that William Pope Quaker (always identi fied thus) m. Marie_ in 1660 and had sons W1li iam (1662), Henry (1663) amd John ( 1670). This was in Isle of Wight Ooun ty, Va . --1t Henry m. Sru:ah Watts and they had eight sons and three daugh ters. The fifth was-i>John whom . MOURI\TING KcKENNIE, dau . of Barnaby McK. and their first son was Henry, whose fir st wife was Martha Martin and second wife was TABITHA_. , . I've never been able to find a thing further about John Henry, but his brother William was father of Capt . Henry Pope of 8th N. C. Reg . whose wfixB wife was Charity Hinton , ~and their descendants were numer ou$ in Georgia. I have correspondea recently with several of that fam ily in Ga , Calif. and Mo . I suppose you know that Henry Patrick Drought of S.A. is a des cen~ant of your Worden Pope thir!ough William the second son (-ard chiltl )l'A-d of Worden and Hester (Netherton) Pope - or did you . And you probably know the Pope connection with the Duva.ls of Texas~through JoJ:m, bro. of Worden and his son Nathaniel whose wife was Lucy:;. Fox; their dau . Ann m. Wm . Duval and had son William Pope Duval Terri tori~l Gov . of Fla. whose dau . m. Chas . Shannol"I. West and their son' ( 2) was Judge Duval West. Charles Shannon West was Justice of Texas Supreme Court and Judge Duval Vi es t was Federal Judge of Wes tern Dist. of Texas, the same judgeship as had been held by his grandfather, Judge Thomas H. West etc. etc. Would you be interested in exchanging or discussing informa tion we have on this interesting subject. Yo tit are a "real genealogist" and I run only an amateur but I would like to know more about the family of John Pope and Margaret Hunter and their children and their families. I will enclose a self addressed envelope and hope to hear from you at your convenience. Respectfully, EN-:@rrL 'E. H. P{pe. 7 '..., l 11 Barton George March 20 ', 1943 Lane jr.

Paradise, of Halifax Co., N.C. We have before shown that he was named in the will of his brother Henry Pope and of his sister Winnifred Pope in 1764 and 1762, respectively. Jesse Pope came from North Carolina, settled in Hancock Co., Ga., about 7 miles North of Sparta, where he died in 1818. He does not appear to have rendered any Revolutionary service. An abstract of his will recorded at Sparta, as given by a descendant~ shows: "Children as follows: Jesse McK.

Pope, Louisville, Ky., to Mr. James Martin, Phila, Pa., we find: "Yours of the 19th inst. duly received. Gen'l John Pope and another member of the family made a trip to England some ago ••.•• They had a copy of the coat of arrus granted to Sir Thomas Pope, guardian and custo dian of Elizabeth, afterwards Queen Elizabeth. The motto on it, "Mihi, T1b1", (meaning justice} "To me and to you"." "The arms are: Two chevrons gules, a canton azure. Crest: A cubit arm erect, habited gules, cuffed argent, holding in the han1 proper a pair of scales or. Motto: Mihi tibi. The arms granted to Sir Thomas, Elizabeth's guardian: .Party per pl le or and azure, on a chevron between three gryphons' heads erased fleurs-de-lis, all counter-changed. Crest: Two gryphons erased." (From a newspaper article by Frances M. Smi th--Eleancr Lexington"). "One of the Privy Council of Henry Vl. Was Thomas Pope. • • The guardian of the Princess, afterward Queen Elizabeth, during her minority, was Sir Thomas Pope. He resided with her at Hatfield House, and there he was authorized by her to decline the King of Sweden's offer of marriage. Sir Thomas is better remembered for his endowment of Trinity College, where he is buried. We may take it that he was a wise man, if the legent engraved upon his tomb stone was his life motto: "Whatever you wish untold to no man tell". "Robert Pargiter, of Grylworth, in County of Northampton, Will, 4 Feby., 1557; pr.31 Jany., 1558. My son William and Anne My Wife shall have my farm in Shattiswell in the County of Worcester, which I hold by indenture of Sir Thomas Pope, Knight. Item.--I ordain and make Lawrence Washington my son-in-law to be the Supervisor of this my last Will and Testament and he to have for his laser and paines taken therein 40 shillings". (N. E. H. & G. Reg. 45, p.62). A century later we find the Pope and Washington families transplanted in Virginia, having the same family names, socially intimate and intermarrying. "Four teen ( 14) persons by name of Pope settled in Md. Between the years 1634 and 1683. Francis Pope was the first to arrive and settled in Charles Co. (Will 1671). (N. E. H. & G. Reg.44, p.83). "The first Maryland Assemblf (held) 1635-' 6, just 11 months after formation left no records ~~ The second Assembly, to which Nathaniel Pope was summoned, was held in 1637, and he was at County Court Feby. 12, 1637". (Md. His. So. Vol. 9, p.13}. Nathaniel Pope was one of the 24 freemen of the 11 Grand In quest" in Md. in 1637". (W. & M. Q., Vol. 4, p.37). 11 0n 26 FeBy., 1639, Pope's Freehold surveyed--1000 A.---being one of the first 1000 land grants.". (Side Lights on Md. His. , p.287). "On 11th April 1643, an order was issued on divers good and sufficient causes that Nathaniel Pope and all his menial servants- nine in all--be exempted from all watches and wardings, from all attendance at meetings and trainings, or from being called or com manded out of or from his house to or upon any :k9 a vie, march or partie without or against his will or consent, Witnesses or deare brother etc." (Md. Ar~. Vol. 3, p.130). "In 1646 Nathaniel Pope was an agent or overseer for Leonard Calvert when the Governor was preparing his expedition to regain his place, and was sent to the Kent Islanders as mediator after the Governor had regained possession of St. Mary's". (Md. His. So., Vol. 9, pp. 13, 102- 1 3). ~Nathaniel Pope demands 700 A. for transportation of himself, wife and five men servants before year 1648. He received warrants to lay out upon Potomac River". (Note.--No children named.) (Md. His. Mag., Vol~ 8, p. 266). Settlers on both sides the Virginia and Maryland banks of the Potomac frequently crossed the river. (N. E. H. &. G. Reg. 44, p.83). "At a Court held for the County of Northumberland, 25th Nov., 1652. Present: Col. John Mottrom, Mr. Thomas ••• • , Mr. John Frussell, Mr. Wm. Pressley, Mr. Nathaniel Pope, Mr. S. H. o. Baldredge, Mr. Robert Broadhurst, Mr. Sam Smtth, Mr. Nichs Morris", etc. (Oldest Book, p. 5 (Order Book), Northumberland Co., Va.). Nicholas Heywood and orother to Mr. Pope, July 25, 16p2. (Northumberland Co. Book, 1653-1685, p. lS). · · On Nov. 25, 1652, Nicholas Heywood, merchant, of London, Engd, wrote a long business letter, despatching it BJ messenger, to his approved, loving friend, Nathaniel Pope, Appomattocks, in Va., which he closes with: "Y'r brother hath sent JOU a lr (letter) by the young man named Sam Mothershed--Yor father is well Qlso. ~ • From • • • ( mutilated) the 25 Nov~ 1652". (Signed Nichs ·Heywood. (Va. Mag. of H. & B., Vol. 9, pp.33.1-'3; W. & M. Q., Xl, pp. 169- 171). On Sept. 6, 1654, Nathaniel Pope patented 1000 A. on South side Potomac River, Westmoreland Co. (Grana Book 3; p.279); on April 24, 1656, 1550 A. (Grt. Bk. 4, p.51); on Nov. 30, 1656, 1050 A. (Grt. Bk. 4. p.63). - On March 11, 1655, William Pope patented 200 A. in Westmoreland Co. (Grt. Bk. 4, p.31). The compiler thinks this is an error, as he can find no record of a grant of land in Westmoreland Co. · to William Pope. But in "Genealogical Gleanings", Vol. 1, p.403, by Henry F. Waters, it is so stated by Mr. R. A. Brock, a genealo gist of recognized accuracy and reliability. In connection with these grants to Nathaniel and William Pope, he says: "these grantees were probaD ly brothers. - · "On 4 April, 1655. Commissioned for ye Co. of Westmoreland; also appointed by ye Governor and Council to be of ye Militia for · ye sd. c.: Lt. Col. Nathaniel Pope." ("Amn. Records and Portraits, Vol. 2, p.438). The first larl grant to Nathaniel Pope was one year and nine and one-half months after date of Heywood's letter, and that to William Pope, as given by Mr. Brock, was six months and five days after the one to Nathaniel Pope and a little more than 2 years and three months after Heywood wrote. On Oct. 8, 1656, William Pope received grant -for 190 A. in Nansemond Co., adjoining -Capt. Thcs. Godwin's land, Due std Pope for the transportation of four persons, Obedience Perkins, John Godwin, Robert Beadle (the 4th headnight not recorded}. (Grt. Book 4, p. 89). WILLIAM POPE'S PATENT. Ld.

There was a Thomas Pope in Isle of Wight Co., who, in his will, 27 Sept., 1684; p. 9 Jany., 1691, names sons, Robert, Wil liam, John and Thomas Pope. (Will Book No. 2, p.208). J\:qd.

This Richard Pope d. intestate, in Isle of Wight Co., in ~ 1~03-'4 (Book 2, pp.483 and 508), and until very recently I had thought it certain tbat he was the son of Thos. & Johanna Pope, · but I find that this son Richard, a mariner, was living in London, ~ Eng., on 5th Dec., 1516, when he, with his mother, made a deed to the Cliffs to his brother Nathaniel. (Westmoreland Col, Book 6, p. 324). "After 20 days sight of this my second Bill of Exchange, my 1st & third not being p'd pay or cause to be paid unto Mr. Richard Pope, Sr., of the City of Bristol, Soapmaker, or his assigns the t· summ of 44.f. 9 shs. 9 pence & is· for soc much worth in gocrls Out of the Ship Stephen from me Jn.

Recorded this 16th day of July, 1668". (Isle of Wight, Va., Book 1662-1715, p. 142). It appears from the records given that Col. Natruiniel Pope was b. pro. about 1614, settled in Md. about 1635-~cr--1636--he then had no children; removed ·to Northumberland Co., Va., before 1652; patented lands in Westmoreland in 1654 or 1656; was appointed· Lt. Col. of Militia in 1653; that his father and brother were living in England in 1652. In contemplation of an immediate visit to · England, made his will, 16 May, 1659, but dying very soon there after, the trip was not made & the will was probated 16 April, 1660. William Pope was probably the brother of Nathaniel Pope- mentioned, but not named by Nichs Heywood in letter Nov. 25, 1652. He certainly patented lands in Nansemond County in 1656, 1662, and 1665, and according to Mr. Brock, in Westmoreland Co. in 1655 (as before stated this is probably an error). He, as · was the intenticn of Nathaniel Pope, revisited England in the 1690s, and died in Nan zemond Co. very soon after returning home. Reference to this visit and his death appears in the Nansemond Co~ records. One who per sonally examined this record gave me this information but did not give me the book and page where found. William Pope is mentioned among the Friends at Nanzemond authorized by George Fox to establish regular Quarterly meetings there in 1673. (Quaker RecCD:'ds in Ms. in Safety Deposit at Baltimore). - After carefully examining these early records, I am persuaded that Nathaniel and William Pope were from the same English- stirp, - and that William, Richard, John and Thomas Pope were brothers, and pro8ably the sons of Richard Pope, Sr., merchant and soap-maker, of Bristol in 1662. Of course, this is a conjecture; no records dis covered actually connect them. Among the descendants of Nathaniel and William we find in almost -every generation and in every branch of their families, the family names of William, Henry, Thomas, Richard, and John. As William Pope was a Quaker, somewhat of his family record has been preserved by them. Many of the leading men, Col. Joseph Bridger, Maj. Thos. Taberer and Genl. Richard Bennett, Col. Thos. Bushrod, Col. Thos. Godwin, et al., sympathized with t:t:e Q.uakers, when they did not absolutely belong to them; and while the Quakers were s ometimes fined for non-conformity, and for failure to notify the authorities of their intended meetings and assemblies, they had their own meeting houses and practically their own way. (W. & M. Qly., Vol. 7, p. 212, and see Quakers). · The "Southern History Association Publications, Vol. 6, p. 508, gives the following: "William Pope and Marie his wife, their children's nattivitties recorded as f olloweth: William Pope2 sonn of the aforesaid w2111am and Mary was borne the 15th of the 8th month 1662; Henry Pope sonn of the aforesaid Will~am and Mary was borne the last of the 11th Month 1663; Alse Pope daughter of the aforesaid Will1am and Mary was borne •••• of the 8th Month 1667; John Pope 2 sonn of the afore said William and M~ry was borne 6th of · the 8th Month 1670". William Pope is recorded as present at several Quaker mar riages. William Pope2 was living in February lij06/7, as evidenced by his deed to Thomas Price, previously referred to. (I. of w.

The following extracts from a rare book in the Library of United States Senator Pope Barrow of Savannah, Georgia, were furnished by his sister, Mrs. Bourke Spaulding. They show that Burwell Pope repudia tad with scorn an a·ttempt to bribe him in connection with the "Yazoo Fraud". It is recorded that the guilty members of the Georgia Legislature burned the Records of that Legislature, "using a sun glass to draw the fire from Heaven to burn them, hoping thus to purify or destroy the evidences of their guilt". It was for this reason that Burwell Pope and the few others who had voted against the "Yazoo Fraud" made the following affida vits to put their course on record.

After writing you few weeks ago, I located a clipping I had cut from Comm€1Cial• Appeal e.nd which gave some Valliant and Hurlock history. I have mada a copy for you and am enclosing same. Yes, I know the Colonial Daines are more exclusive; but, we have no such Chapter in Meridian. I, really, have not been active in some ~rears in my D.A.R. 6hapter. Yet, I think it is nice to know that you are eligible ~nd could join on both sides of your family. No doubt, Cousin Louise V. Eskrigge has the alliant coat-of-arms and other Valliant history. Cousin Frank V~lliant (son of Uncle Leroy Valliant of Supreme Court - lived in St. Louis, I believe. I remember having heard Mother and Father talk of their delighti'ul visit to Aunt Tena (?) and Uncle LeRoy while on their honey-moon) was in Mer'idian about seventeen years ago and he tuas here, endeavoring to get labor to take to his plantation, Leota Landing, Miss. He was charming. Yes; it is I-v.. Q..-n Thornton Holladay, wife of Dr. P. E. Holladay of this City. Some time when I can spare the money, I would like to have a J copy made of the picture you have of Gen. John Brahan - is yours an original, or, copy? Yes, we have a cunning picture of Father - made when ne was, probably, 12 years old. I am sure 1Iattie would love to have the one you have. ~ . You say you could send it to me. I am glad to have the data "Which you have passed on to me from Cousin Louise. Yes, Papa says Aunt Jeanie and he, both, were born ~ at Kirktivood. Uncle Leroy's birthday was Mch. 7th, 1866. Papa and Mother were married 11/17/87. Gladys M. Keese -was from Little Rock, Ark. Mother did not have copy of11 Kith & Kin" but her sister who is now in Richmond, Va. (formerly · missionary to Korea) has a copy of this book. I run sorry that I haven't it to send you, nor, have I access to it, that Cecile is nov; in Richmond, Va. No, am sorry Papa has no obituaries· of accounts of weddings. You know "our" home burned when I was a baby and my parents lost all their wedding presents, old furniture, clothing and silver, documents and all other such things which would be of great interest to us nawl Papa says he doesn't know anything else about his Father. I will surely appreciate a copy of' the John Coffee Brahan line.' Papa has not felt like talking nruch lately - he has had trouble with his new (lower plate) teeth. His hearing is very bad and it strains him to get any part of' a conversation. He enjoys the C-Appeal which he reads every morning, and vmen Hugh isn't at home 1vith the car, Papa walks to town (11 blocks) and back - often couple times each day ·- to get the mail. He is remarkable for his age, I think. Some months ago, ii\mrb .lunt Etta sent Papa a clipping from Huntsville, Ala., paper which I e.m sending you to read. Arter perusing same, please return. I go to lunch from 11:30 to l~l:30 and I have written on-e.nd-off this now while the others are at lunch. Have mad :many interruptions and I knovr this jumpy•jerky ].etter records many times I have con~inuedADll! this letter. More anon.
