JR Pope, There were a lot of intermarriages between these families. Your question didn't provide much of a lead as to what you are looking for. Following is information that I have (might have more). Would appreciate any additional info or corrections you might have. David Pope 2407 Hodges Bend Circle Sugar Land, TX 77479 281/980-8893 tabsgran2@aol.com > LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON THIS AREA AND FOR INFO ON THE POPE GRAHAM > FAMILIES YEAR 1860 OR WHAT EVER ----THANKS > This may provide a lead" E-Mail dated 1 Aug 1999 from Bobby L. Graham (Grambo4121), Subject: Graham/POPE I was glad to have got your post on the request that I submitted. I agree with some of the info you gave on the Grahams and Popes. I have Alexander U. Graham Sr. being born around 1801 and dieing 31 Oct 1868 . His will which was probated in Laurens County list his children from both marriages. His first wife we don’t know what her name was but the second was Elizabeth Pope b. 27 Nov 1818, she was the daughter of John Pope and Dicey Pope. These are the children from Alexanders first marriage. Sarah Maude b. 1822 m. 30 Jun 1844 William James Stewart Duncan b.? m . 23 Jul 1852 Mary Ann Stewart Richard Callie b.1824 m. 19 Oct 1847 Margaret L. Daniel(s) Alexander U. Jr. b. 1828 m. 3 Jun 1852 Mary Pope( Dau of John & Dicey Pope) Polly Mary b. 1830 23 Jun 1859 Benjamin Pope George b. 1831 m.20 Jun 1858 Catherine Glover Thomas b. 1834 died while serving in C.S.A. Children of Alexander U. GRAHAM, Sr. & Elizabeth Pope . John Caswell b. 29 Apr 1845 d. 22 Sep 1910 m. 17 Dec 1868 Alemina E. Harrison Elizabeth b. 24 Dec 1846 d. 1 Aug 1879 m. Nathan Tucker Stewart Daniel Needham b. 12 Nov 1848 d. 12 Oct 1918 m. 30 Dec 1868 Sarah Ann Hester Charles b. Twin of Daniel d. aft 1870 Irene Caroline b. 15 Dec 1853 d. 1913 m. 14 Apr 1881 George Wilder Dicey b. 16 Aug 1857 d. 16 Jun 1928 m.28 Jan 1879 Christopher Columbus Smith Edward Grady b. 11 Mar 1860 d. 20 Dec 1939 m. 18 Sep 1887 Mary F. White Just a note the name Dicey or Dicy has been used over the generations, I still have a Graham cousin with this name. My Great Aunt Dicey Lavader (Graham) Daniels who she was named for passed away in may at the age of 92. Her Grandmother was Dicey Graham who married Christopher Columbus Smith. My Graham, Pope, Smith, Davis and McLendon families are so inter twined as they married back and forth , that it's become a real challenge to research. If you have more on the Pope family, I would appreciate if you could send me a copy, as I’ve not found where in North Carolina that they came from. If you want a copy of my Pope and Graham family info i would be glad to send you a copy, just send me your mailing address. You have a great day and may GOD bless. Bobby L.

From a Georgia Archieves Form for Corrections, the following corrections dated 1 Sep 1982, were placed in the POPE Genealogy Folder. (Copies made by David POPE on visit of 11 Mar 1998) 1. Name of Volume-Cooper/Pope Genealogy Page Number: 5 Chapter VI The information found in the volume (or card) states: 5-C-2-3-11 Arrenia M. POPE This is incorrect. The information should be: Lurrenia M. POPE Information Supplied by: John J. COLEY, Rt 1 Box 36, Midland GA, 31820 Based on: The above individual is my G-G-Grandmother who married John Redding COLEY. She was called “Reannie”. For proof she has a marriage certificate of Laurens Co, GA (in Courthouse) dated 11 Jan 1877. 2.

The information should be: Polly POPE is the widow (2nd) of Benjamin POPE (son of Fleet.) She was called Polly but her real name was Mary GRAHAM POPE. “Reanie” is Lurreania M.
