Deborah, I checked the transcription for the 1860 McLean Co. Census today for John G. Pope and wife Sarah. I could not find any Pope's listed in the index--only Poppe, Popejoy, and Popple. Of those, only one family listed had a John. Here is the information on his family: V2 1860 Census Index p. 10 File ZN Bloom, Ward 2 Popple, Samuel age 40 miller birthplace Eng Rachel 38, Eng John 18, miller, Eng Kate 16, Eng Eliza 15, Eng Luther 7, NY Minnie, 5 NY Lisa ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
