I'm really not certain if this is a part of my line or not. My 4th great grandfather, William H. Pope, was born in North Carolina, as was his father (whom I believe may have been a Jacob Pope). The furthest I've been able to track the Mooney side of my family is to Georgia in the late 1880s.

It is entirely possible that there may be some relation, here. I am definitely looking for clues on the matter.
