While my mother passed away last year, she did tell me a lot about Pope County. Mom was born at Rock ("under a" as we always teased) and grew up in Brownfield. During the war my grandmother ran the restaurant in Reeseville (Johnson County). Mom told me a lot during the 25 years that I have been doing genealogy. My family has been in Pope County since the 1820's and some still live there. I might be able to answer some questions. I don't think that there is a family down there, that mine isn't married into.
