Hello,
I am also doing Samuel Pope, He was born 1811 in New York and moved to Portsmouth , Virginia. He dies there in 1882. He was married to Maria, also born 1811 in New York.
I have taken this Samuel down 5 generations and will gladly share with anyone . Contact me at finding_r_past@hotmail.com

Believe his father to be Morris Pope, 1840 in Lyons, Wayne Co., New York.
