    3. Hello; I noticed an error in gender on your POPE .html. Lou Murphy is a female, not a male as you referred on this page as "HE." Thought you would like to be correct in all your information.. Your Page is very interesting and informative. I am having a debate with Ms. Murphy CONCERNING JAMES MUSE and Sophia POPE family and records pertaining to their Daughter , Anne aka Amy aka Anna , who married John Tolloson, and the possibility that Sophia and Anne carried Amey aka Amy Veale Pope's given name as their middle name and was called by 'AMY' after their move to S. C... Lou and Dr James Reid are finding fault in the originality of JAMES MUSE'S "WILL", John Morrison's conveyance of the MUSE'S ESTATE to "AMY [aka] Anne] AND DANIEL MUSE, ORPHANS". The fact that in the Morrison conveyance deed that Thomas Muse was said to be JOHN MUSE'S SON not JAMES MUSE'S son, now in your site I find that Thomas MUSE SR. was the father of James and John Muse, and Thomas Muse therefore this THOMAS MUSE IN THE MORRISON CONVEYANCE DEED could very well have been , Thomas Muse, James Muse sr.'s brother not son...the uncle of these young people. Also, I noted in your correction of Humphrey Pope sr by Lou Murphy that Humphrey Pope jr. had married a widow of a MORRISON, one Mary unknown Morrison {2. Humphrey II Pope (Humphrey 1) born ca. 1674. He married twice. He married Amy Veale. Amy was the daughter of Maurice [Morris ? emc} Vele Veale and Dorothy (Unknown) Veale. He married Mary (Unknown) Morrison. 1704 - Humphrey makes deed to his brother John, jointly with his wife, Amey. Wm & Mary Quarterly, Series 1, 13:280-284. ] [1734 - Humphrey Pope II's "Will". 1734 - Humphrey Pope's will - dated 10 Jan 1732, recorded 29 Oct 1734: Names dau. Ann Conditt, dau. Sophia Muse, son Humphrey, dau. Sarah Pope, dau. Mary Muse, dau. Mary Pope, "to my wife's daughter, Elizabeth Morrison; wife Mary and four youngest children; wife, coz. Daniel McCarty (son of Humphrey's sister Elizabeth) and Peter Jett exors." (Westmoreland Wills, Book 8)] So, this JOHN MORRISON could have been SOPHIA POPE MUSE'S step uncle or brother who was managing her affairs,? . The legal instruments I am basing my theory of "AMY" being Sophia's and Anne Muse's middle name is the fact Sophia Pope Muse's mother was AMEY aka AMY VEALE POPE plus, Tolloson and Muse marriage dispute, John Morrison's conveyance deed to the MUSE Orphans. Thanks to Lou, I have orginal copies of all. Plus, now, I know that Humphrey Pope II was married to a widow of a Morrison, his second wife, MARY and included her children in his "Will". therefore this shows how closely knit the POPEs, VEALEs, MUSES and MORRISONS were related. regards; Evelyn Crocker Tolloson / Muse / Bryant/ Crocker
