Notes:

From Ancestral File (TM), data as of 2 January 1996.
Many have listed Humphrey Pope as the son of Col. Nathaniel Pope. Careful research reveals that this is NOT true, although there are likely connections between the two men. Humphrey Pope is probably a younger relative (perhaps a nephew or cousin) of Col. Nathaniel Pope.

Humphrey Pope was brought over from England by Thomas Pope and John Washington as a minor.

He was transported by Thomas Pope of Bristol, England and of Westmoreland,Virginia, son of Colonel Nathaniel Pope and by John Washington of Westmoreland,Virginia, to Virginia in 1661 when he was about 12 years old.

By DNA testing my Moses Cushenberry matches with the male testers that can prove their lineage back to John Quisenberry, the immigrant, that married Anne Pope , dau of Humphrey Pope and Elizabeth Hawkins.

Humphrey married Elizabeth HAWKINS in 1667 in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Elizabeth (daughter of Richard HAWKINS and Elizabeth DRAKE) was born on 18 Oct 1635 in Slapton, South Hams District, Devon, England; died on 14 Aug 1718 in Washington Magisterial District, Westmoreland, Virginia, British Colonial America; was buried in 1717 in , Westmoreland, Virginia.
