    1. [GA-Roots] Salt List, Muscogee Co, GA-Pope's
    2. In reviewing the Muscogee Co, GA GenWeb site (I believe it's a GenWeb site), I searched the Muscogee Co, GA-SALT LIST, (http://wso.net/gamuscog/salt_list.h tm) for Pope. Can someone tell me what this list might have been for? I understand that salt was supplied to soldier's families but why only salt? Also, following are 2 sections that were included on the list with POPE surnames. Can anyone help me with who were the husbands of the below widows and who are the parents of the 2 soldiers wife's? Under Order of Governor Brown dated July 24, 1863 LDS Microfilm #1730424 Names of soldier’s families supplied with salt under the order of Governor Brown July 24, 1863: .... Frances M. Pope, Missouri A. Pope Names of widows having a son or sons now in the service: ... Mrs. Rebecca Pope, Mrs. Caroline T. Pope, I had thought that Mrs. Rebecca Pope was the widow of Daniel Pope, b. 21 Nov 1805, Washington Co, GA, d. 13 Nov 1840 in Muscogee Co, GA and buried in Talbot Co, GA but I have no indication that she had either of the above sons in the service nor any other that I know of at this time. I feel like there must be a relationship between the widows and the soldiers families above. Any help will be appreciated. David POPE (tabsgran2@aol.com)
