*** From POPE Plantation reference above:
The exact year of the arrival of Wiley Pope in GA is not known. He could 
have arrived as a lad as early as 1790 with his sister (Elizabeth Pettit's 
family) or later with his brother, John or sister, Feribie Pope. We estimate 
the marriage of Wiley to Martha (_______) to have taken place about 1800. The 
1850 U. S. Census, Talbot Co, GA recorded birthplace of Wiley Pope as NC, and 
Martha (_______) Pope's birthplace as GA, with the date of birth as 1778. 
Thus, 
Martha (_______) Pope's family was located in GA prior to or during the 
American 
Revolution. It is believed that the marriage was performed in Washington Co, 
GA 
and the record destroyed in the Courthouse fires. The couple's first child, 
Brittain Pope was born in GA in 1802. These facts are confirmed by the 1850 
U.S.
Census, Talbot Co, GA and bible records preserved by the descendents of this 
son. 


The 1820 census (Washington Co, GA) was an important one for the family of 
Wiley 
Pope, as they are together for the first time in a U. S. Census. The 
household 
of Wiley Pope and Martha (________) in 1820 included;
Brittain Pope - born 1802
Daniel Pope - born 21 Nov 1805       <--------   Father of Martha Ann POPE
Unknown male - born between 1805 - 1810
Alston/Austin Pope - born ca 1812
William Blake Pope - born 2 Aug 1815
Allen Anderson Pope - born 17 Nov 1817
