Just to get you straight from your email I assume you couldn't figure out my jumble, since I was writing in such a hurry.My information of Nathan and Patience can be proven. As I stated the Richrd and Nathan that I had listed in my book were wrong. The Richard that married Ann Willims was the son of Henry Pope, proof I have. Nathn mar. Mary Williams proof I have. I also have the real Richrd son of Nathan who was much yunger proof I have, in book he is listed as grandson when he is actually the son. Richrd was much younger than the Richard who mar. Ann Williams. And the Marriage records, Quaker, does quote Richrd and Ann Williams from Nathan and Mary Williams, Although their father's will does not. Ann was decesed in his will and he names Richard and Nathan as son-in-laws and daughter Mary Pope as she and Nathan were still living. He does not name Ann Pope as she was deceased but Richard was living with childrne. This Richard and Ann Williams was the son of Henry Pope who was an uncle of Nathan's. I had listed the information sent to me by a person who claimed to be from the family. Thinking they had it right I used it. Taught me a lesson never use others research.
I have probably the most informtionon on Jehu Pope of anyone. I traced him for months. I was trying to prove the connections of a teacher on an Indian Reservation in state of Washington for her. I wrote another descendant in Tennesse (they had also written a Pope book that had Jehu in it.) I told him he had some informtion wrong. He was amazed I had so much and could prove it on Jehu. Probably some you have never heard. But then again, you like ot keep your own records I believe.

Nathan Pope's father is believed to have been Nathan Pope. I believe there were several. Births: Nathan Pope b. 5-5-1777 and his wife, Nancy Stephenson Barrett, was b. 4-6-1790. Neverson Pope was born 6-25, 1818. Madison Pope, was b. 1-22-1820. Oswald Pope was born 3-24-1822. Eliba Pope b. 2-29-1824. Amos S. Pope b. 3-26-1826. Isaac S. Pope b. 5-30-1828.Riddick Pope, b. 2-72, 1830. Jemima F. Pope, b. 10-20-1833. Lastly at bottom of page is the following notation: "Richard Barrett the son of Elias and Nancy was born November 10, 1813." In another column: Mathew R. Pope, son of Nathan and Rebecca was born 3-22-1811; and Matilda Pope was born 2-18-1808.
The next paragraph says "Deaths (taken from headstones at graves) Nathan Pope died 8-25-1843; and Nancy Pope died 8-23-1854. Can anyone tell me where Nancy and Nathan are buried? Also, Jesse Barrett's son, Elias, father of Richard Barrett and Nancy Stephenson's only son, are buried? Richard (b. 1813) forward are buried at Poplar Springs very near the Civil War graves. Any help appreciated.

Marie, your posts are somewhat confusing. I am wondering how are you related to the family of Nathan Pope and Patience. I know you write books, but I am getting confused reading the information you posted regarding Nathan and Patience and their children and step-children, and the marriages of Nathan before Patience. It is good that you present a different perspective, I will review back over the information and sources that I have. Keep us updated on information and sources you discover. I am direct descendant of Nathan and Jehu Pope.
Again, how are you related to the Pope family????

Surnames: Barrett and Pope
Firstly, my name is Betty Chandler. I am not related to Nathan Pope; rather, to Nancy Stephenson (daughter of Amos Stephenson of Southampton) who was first married to my gggg grandfather, Elias Barrett, son of Jesse Barrett of Southampton. Elias and Nancy Stephenson had one son, Richard, before he died. Elias appears to have died 1814-1816, when his son was about 3 years old. The only records after that time frame are taken from Southampton County Chancery Records wherein there is a suit and countersuit filed by Jesse and James Barrett vs. Nancy Stephenson and infant son of Elias, Richard Barrett. I can find no record of Elias' death or where he reposes.

My direct family is from the Southampton Pope family of Thomas Pope. I search any and all Pope lines. I search for documents and proof which I have from all my research for over 30 years of research in Virginia, North Carolina, and all states south. I have estate records, wills and misc. records from Virginia as well as marriage records, and from other states searched. I have over 200 pages of misc. families and information I am still searching. Nathaniel Pope was married 1st to Mary Williams her father's will. Together they had Jonathan and Elijah, that is why Patience called them son-in-laws in her will, but back in those days every one was a cousin or in law mostly in wills. They were the only step sons. The others Joshua, Phobe, Joel, Nathan, Richard, Patience anc Charity were children by their marriage. Their are no other step children as you stated. It took me some time to get the deeds and proof that the Richard I named as a grandson in my book was really the son. I finally found the proof I needed from a deed. He had been left land by his father Nathan that was left to Patience and when she died it was to go to son Richard. Richard sold that same land that is listed in all deeds when he became of age and received the land. As for the other family members some moved to Northampton County NC, some stayed in VA. Others moved to TN. My research is a love of genealogy and history and I hope will be a treasure to families that would never know who they are. My new book has many additions because I continue to research and add lines. I also intend to print my misc. information of deeds, court records, wills,census records and many proofs that will be of great help to someone searching.

Surnames: POPES, BARRETTS, STEPHENSONS
Ms. Mimbs, I, as you, am researching my Barrett line as a labor of love. My father died when I was 12 years old, in 1958. I made a promise to him that I would continue searching until I could search no longer. I am not tied to Nathan Pope, per se; rather to Nancy Pope Stephenson Barrett and her son Richard by Elias Barrett. The birth and death information I provided earlier on this site was given to me by a very dear member of the Pope who took that information from her Family Bible. In the Stephenson line, I have tracked back two or three generations beyond Amos, father of Nancy. I believe they were from Isle of Wight. Then, I found some conflict among Stephenson family lines prior to that point. I choose not to get into that at this time; rather I am searching my Barretts as I promised my father I would do. Good luck with your continued search.

Steven,
I can't remember if we've touched base before or not. I know I have seen your posts on Ancestry. I still do not know what happened to Elias Barrett, first husband of Nancy Stephenson Barrett Pope. From Southampton Co. court records and family records, Richard their son, was b. 1813. Elias d (stands for "died" or "disappeared") about 1815. Nancy was the daughter of Amos Stephenson. Elias was the son of Jesse Barrett of Southampton. The court battle over Elias' estate lasted until the late 1820s. From the court's inventory, there was very little to fight over. Nancy was granted her one-third right in dower and Richard was given his two-thirds right to his father's estate. Apparently, the court allowed his mother to administer his inheritance. We moved recently and I packed up box after box of old records, books, photos, etc. I received a letter from one of Nathan and Nancy's descendants several years ago, and they provided me with the names and births, deaths, etc., of the Pope children. Richard was listed along the side of the page as "Richard Barrett." If I can dig out the right box, I'll send you a copy of the letter. Also, I can remember my father saying that his father (grandson of Richard I) never spoke of his youth except to say he grew up on a farm. During those days, such matters were not mentioned. I do find it interesting that Richard retained his surname of Barrett. Richard Barrett I married (1) Amanda Louisa Fitzallen Murfee, daughter of Wills Murfee of Southampton. She had two sons before her death, Wills Murfee Barrett (who died at 13) and Erastus Bozorah Barrett (died in 20s.) I have not been told nor do I know of a record, but I believe that her death was in some way related to childbirth. Richard I married (2) Mary Rebecca Murfee, daughter of Rev. Simon Murfee and his wife, Lydia. Together, they had 6 children. I am descended of the second union: Richard and Mary Rebecca Murfee; their son, Richard Crawford/Crafford Barrett, Sr. who married Mary Estelle Powell; their son, Richard Crawford Barrett, Jr., who married Pearl Chase; and their son, Richard Barrett, my father. I know that your main interest lies with the Pope line, but I have little to offer there. If you want more info on the Stephensons, I would suggest that your search the Brantley files and look for old Amos. I think he married at least twice (?). I have a lot more, but putting my hands on it right now might take awhile. Sorry I don't have more.
