POPE FAMILY INFORMATION

 

William Pope is the 8th great grandfather of Roy Lee Thompson.  William had a brother names Nathaniel.  Nathaniel was the great great grandfather of George Washington.  Therefore William and Nathaniel’s father (his name is not know) was the 3rd great grandfather of George Washington and the 9th great grandfather of Roy Lee Thompson.

 

Records show that William Pope patented land in Nensemond County, Virginia in 1656.  This is the earliest record concerning him.  He was a Quaker.

Roy’s note: Jacob Pope (born: Feb 24, 1773), married Sarah Lee was born and grew up and married in Robeson County, North Carolina.  He and his brother John moved to Marion County, Mississippi in 1812.

He settled on a farm about 20 miles south of Columbia, Mississippi.  Lived and died there about 1837.  The old house place now belongs to a man by the name of Ernest Ford.  His address is Route 5 Box 132, Columbia, Mississippi.  (This was in 1962)

___________________________________________________________________________

Roy’s note: At the time they came and settled in 1812, Mississippi was the western section of the Mississippi Territory.  Alabama was the eastern section.  Mississippi was admitted to the union as the 20th state in Dec. of 1817.  Along about this time the United States and England were fighting the War of 1812 (Second War of Independence).  This War ended in 1814 but a large battle was fought near New Orleans, Louisiana (not so far away) in Jan. of 1815.  Don’t know if any of these folks got involves.

Roy’s note: Dolphin (born 1800) Jacob’s son was born in Robeson County, North Carolina.  Moved with his father’s family to Marion County, Mississippi in 1812.  Married Elizabeth Mixon there Nov 11, 1825.  See the Marion Co. Census for 1850.  Moved to Columbia County, Arkansas in 1853.

 

Roy’s Note: Dolphin A. Pope and 2 of his brothers and one deceased brother’s family were in Marion County in 1850 according to the census.  There may be other brothers but I am not sure.

_______________________________________________________________________

Roy’s Note: Looking closely at the Marion Co. Marriage Records: I find marriage records of:

1.       Benjamin (1818)

2.       James (1818)

3.       Dolphin (1825)

4.       John (1827)

5.       Jacob (1836)

6.       Clarissa (1830)

7.       M.A.E. (1856, second marriage)

 

These are some of the children of Jacob (born: Feb 24, 1773), and Sarah who moved to Marion County, Mississippi in 1812.
