Humphrey Pope, , Colonel

Notes:

Humphrey Pope Sr. was born circa 1648-50 and died between Sep 1683 and Jun 1684. He married Elizabeth Hawkins daughter of Richard Hawkins and Katherine of Northumberland County Virginia and had 5 children: Elizabeth, Humphrey Jr., Lawrence, John and Mary. (They did NOT have a daughter named Jemima.)

It is now proven that Humphrey Pope Sr. was NOT the son of either Lt. Col. Nathaniel Pope and wife Lucy, OR of Col. Nathaniel's son Thomas who married Joanna. No record connects Humphrey Sr. with this other Pope family. If some degree of kinship existed, it has not yet been discovered.

HUMPHREY POPE AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
Humphrey Pope appears as surety on a bond of John Quisenberry in Rappahannock (now Richmond) county, dated May 12, 1656. He obtained deed from Thomas Pope for 150 acres near the Clifts in Westmoreland county, February 2, 1659.

He married Elizabeth, daughter and heir-at-law of Richard Hawkins, as shown by the Westmoreland records. He died about 1695, leaving a will which, however, is not to be found. His children were 1 Lawrence, 2 Humphrey, 3 John, 4 a daughter who married (a) William Payne, of Yeocomico, and (b) Daniel McCarty; 5 Je-
mima, who married Nicholas Minor, and had four sons and a daughter, viz., William Stewart, John, Stewart, Nicholas and Elizabeth Wherret.

Lawrence, eldest son of Humphrey and Elizabeth Pope, married Jemima , relict of John Spence, and daughter of Thomas Waddy, of Northumberland. He lived in Washington Parish, in Westmoreland, and died there. His will was recorded March 2, 1723. His wife was made his executrix, and his estate was large. His children were, 1 Humphrey, 2 Thomas, 3 John, 4 Jemima, 5 Anne, 6 Mary, 7 Penelope, 8 Catherine.

Humphrey, second son of Humphrey and Elizabeth Pope,
names his mother in a deed to Spencer for land in 1719; makes deed to his brother John in 1704 jointly with his wife "Amey." His will is dated January 10, 1733; probated October 29, 1734. This will names wife "Mary," apparently implying a second marriage. He married, first, Amey, "eldest daughter of Morris Veale." His children were 1 Anne, who married Conditt; 2 Sophia, married Muse; 3 Humphrey, 4 John, 5 Sarah, 6 Mary, married William Muse.

John Pope, third son of Humphrey and Elizabeth (Hawkins), died in 1722 without a will. His widow Elizabeth married, secondly, Christopher Mothershead. An inventory of his estate was rendered in 1722.

Humphrey Pope, son of Lawrence and Jemima, married Anne, who signed deed with him to Samuel Damonville, June 29, 1736. His estate was divided 1744. His children were, 1 Sarah (chose William Muse as guardian), 2 Humphrey (chose Thomas Clayter as guardian), 3 Mary (chose Nicholas Minor as guardian), 4 John (chose William Muse as guardian).

Thomas Pope, son of Lawrence and Jemima, died in Westmoreland in 1741. (Will dated February 23, 1741; probated March 8, 1741.) He married Mary, one of the four daughters of Samuel Heath, of Northumberland, and had issue one daughter, Elizabeth. His relict, Mary (Heath) Pope, married, second, William Tebbs, of Prince William county.

John Pope, son of Lawrence and Jemima, gave deed October 27, 1738, to Thomas Shaw for land devised to him by his "father Lawrence Pope." He married cousin Sarah, daughter of Christopher Mothershead, who names her in his will of June 11, 1745. His children were, 1 John, 2 Lawrence, 3 Anne ("Nancy"), who married Tiffey, and had sons Pope, John and William.

Humphrey Pope, son of Humphrey and Anne (Veale) Pope, lived in Washington Parish. His will was dated August 9, 1759; probated May 27, 1760. He appointed his "loving wife Sarah whole and sole executrix." She was daughter-in-law to Daniel Higdon, and it seems probable, daughter of Nathaniel Pope, whose relict, Margaret, married the said Higdon. This Nathaniel Pope, of whom records are sadly lacking, was most likely a son of Nathaniel and Jane (Brown) Pope, whose name
has not hitherto appeared in the list of their children. ("An inventory of the sundry goods and chattels paid to Margaret Higdon, the relict of Nathaniel Pope, deceased, by the executors of Daniel Higdon, deceased, pursuant to an order of court, bearing date 28th November, 1739, in lieu of £32, 16, 4, due from the said Higdon's estate to the child of the said Nathaniel Pope, deceased." — Extract from Westmoreland Records.) His children were, 1 John (granted administration on his father's estate in 1760, his mother having declined to act as executrix), 2 Humphrey, 3 Benjamin, 4 Mary, 5 Nathaniel.

Lawrence, son of John and Sarah Mothershead Pope, was born 1740; died July 31, 1810; will probated in Westmoreland August 27, 1810. He married, first, Jane, daughter of Humphrey Quisenberry.

Lawrence Pope married, secondly, Frances Carter, and had 3 Jane Carter (born September 25, 1791.) His third wife was Mrs. Penelope Vigar, relict of Jacob Vigar, and daughter of Nicholas Quisenberry, by whom he had 4 Sukey, 5 Caty, 6 Lawrence Berry, 7 Elliot, 8 John ; went to New York in 1834, and was never heard from afterwards; 9 Sarah.

Grimes (children, George and Mary) ; married, second, Rosa Green, of Georgetown Heights, and had Lucy, Nicholas, Alice and Rousby. George and Jane (Pope) Quisenberry had also Austin, who removed to Missouri; lived at La Grange, Mo., and had three children, Martha, Catherine and Augustine; William Augustine (never married), Catherine, married William B. Marmaduke, and had William C. and Joseph; Pope, who never married.

His children were Jane Henrietta, Ann Augusta (Mrs. Henry M. Snyder), Nathan M., who occupies the ancient seat in Westmoreland; and James S., whose home is in Baltimore.

Sarah Pope, daughter of Lawrence, who married James Jones, of Middlesex county, had one son, named Pope, who was a Confederate soldier. The harrowing account of his brutal murder by a Federal sentinel whilst a prisoner of war is related in the work entitled United States Bonds.
