Nathaniel Pope Source: "Genealogical Memoranda of the Quisenberry Family In Virginia" by Anderson Chenault Quisenberry 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. Many have my Humphrey as the son of Col. Nathaniel Pope which is not true but there are connections it seems. I have been receiving emails off the mailing list and there is no data that backs up the claim Humphrey Pope that married Elizabeth Hawkins is the son of Col. Nathaniel Pope. John Quisenberry (my line) seemed to be around them and he married Anne Pope who many say is the daughter of Humphrey Pope. "John Quisenberry, so far as is known, had but three children, all sons-John, William, and Humphrey. John Quisenberry's old homestead is still standing. It is a small, unpretentious house, built more with a view to durability than for show, and it has weathered the storms of more than two centuries. It adjoins the lands taken up in 1651 by Thomas Pope, and afterwards sold to Hon. Thomas Lee, who erected upon them about 1730 the historic "Stratford Hall," still standing, the birthplace of Richard Henry Lee and Francis Lightfoot Lee, two signers of the Declaration of Independence, and of Robert E. Lee, the great Confederate General; and it is only a few miles away from the site of "Wakefield", the first home of the Washingtons in America, where George Washington was born. It is not known what, if anything, John Quisenberry called his home; but it is now known as the "Old Quisenberry Place", and is owned by a man named Jenkins, who has made it the model farm of Westmoreland county." "John Quisenberry, the pioneer, is described in old legal documents as a "planter", and his own depositions show that he sometimes acted as a surveyor's assistant. The deeds still in existence show that he owned three hundred acres of land; and he almost certainly owned other lands, the records of which were destroyed by fire at Northumberland Courthouse and at Richmond. He and his family were communicants of the Anglican or Episcopalian Church, and were members of the famous old Pope's Creek Church, one of the two original churches in the Washington Parish of Westmoreland county." "John Quisenberry, as has been shown, had three sons-John, William, and Humphrey, and it is from Humphrey, the youngest of the three, that the Kentucky branch of the family are descended. Under the laws of primogeniture that then prevailed in Virginia, as well as under his father's will, William, the eldest son (John having died in 1695), inherited practically the whole of his father's estate; but Humphrey had been making his own way. We find from the records that on July 6, 1695, he bought of Christopher Pritchett one hundred acres of land. This land, "lying on the north side of the great road that goeth from Pope's Creek to the head of Perpeto Creek", it transpires, was in old Rappahannock county, which comprised portions of the present counties of King George, Richmond and Essex-and was formed about 1660, and was swallowed up by the formation of those counties some years afterwards, disappearing entirely. The present Rappahannock county, Virginia, in an entirely different locality, was not formed until 1820." "John Quisenberry, Sr. "the Pioneer" died in Westmoreland County, VA. He married Anne Pope, sister of Humphrey Pope. He was a planter and sometimes acted as a surveyor's assistant. John settled in Virginia at some time prior to 1651, for the most part, in the "Northern Neck" of Northumberland and Westmoreland Counties. In 1651, he assisted in surveying the "Stratford" or Thomas Lee estate in Northumberland County, VA (now Westmoreland County), and in 1666, he bought one hundred acres of land adjoining that estate when it was still the property of Thomas Pope, of whose heirs Thomas Lee bought it. Thomas Lee erected the historic Stratford Hall about 1730 on the land. John also bought one hundred acres of land from John Butler in 1656 in Westmoreland County, VA, and in 1691, bought from Malachi Peale his remaining interest of two hundred acres in a patent. John's will is dated 23 Nov 1714 was probated 27 Nov 1717. John and Ann's children were John, William, and Humphrey. Col. Humphrey Pope was not a son of Colonel Nathaniel Pope although he was almost certainly a younger relative (nephew or cousin) of Col. Nathaniel Pope. He 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. In 1669 Thomas Pope, son of Colonel Nathaniel Pope, deeded 150 acres of land to Humphrey Pope, adjacent to his land in Westmoreland, Virginia. Deed from Thomas Pope of Westmoreland, to Humphrey Pope, conveying part of a dividend of land, 2,254 acres, upon which the said Thomas Pope was then seated. Dated Feb 2d, 1669. John Ashton and John Lord witnesses. These are the only two records found that connect Humphrey Pope with Nathaniel's family but they almost certainly indicate family connection of some sort. Also.... from my cousin.... Some years back I explored the connection between Col. Humphrey Pope and Col. Nathaniel using Pope wills from Bristol, England and here are my notes with a few additions of what I found: I think that our best chance of connecting the two will be found in "Old" England. I have every reason to believe that Col. Humphrey Pope and Col. Nathaniel Pope belonged to the Bristol, Gloucestershire family who had members involved in the Whitsun Court Sugar House and had members that were merchants in the importation of sugar from the West Indies and tobacco from the colonies. According to Wm. & Mary College Quarterly, Vol. 1, No. 4, April 1893, page 177, we have: "Power of Attorney from Thomas Pope of Bristol, England, merchant, to Wm. Hardidge, merchant, dated June 19th 1677, and recorded in Westmoreland." William Hardidge was no other than Colonel Nathaniel Pope's son-in-law mentioned in his will dated May 16, 1659, probated April 20, 1660, found on page 188 of same article. Here we have a solid connection of Nathaniel Pope's son-in-law to the Bristol family and by inference also Nathaniel Pope. In addition we have "Power of Attorney, 1709, from Joanna Pope, Bristol, England, widow, to her son Nathaniel Pope of Pope's Creek." found on page 188, another clue showing a Bristol connection. Joanna Pope, I believe, was the wife of Thomas Pope who transported and sold land to Col. Humphrey Pope. I now have the will of John Pope, Merchant of Bristol, dated 1658, probated April 15, 1668. He mentions his daughters Abigail and Sarah Pope, sons Richard Pope, Michael Pope, and John Pope. According to a posting by a Charles Johnson to the Bristol Rootsweb list, this John Pope had two other children and this John Pope made a trip to Virginia in 1653 to make a contract with John Washington, the same person who transported Col. Humphrey Pope. And now here's the interesting part, he also mentions that John Pope's son Michael had a son named Humphrey. I also have the will of Thomas Pope, Merchant of Bristol, probated August 8, 1681, who may very well be the one who gave power of attorney to William Hardidge, Nathaniel's son-in-law. He mentions his brothers Richard Pope and James Pope. He mentions his children ??? Pope, Thomas Pope, Richard Pope, Suzanna Pope, and Anne Pope. This was sent to me by my cousin who has researched the Pope's both in Virginia and in England. === WESTMORELAND COUNTY, VIRGINIA ORDER BOOK 1679-1682; John Frederick Dorman; Page 164 [ 8 Oct 1679] Upon the petition of Jno Taylor he is ordered guardian to Wm Knight and to take into his posssession Knights cattle, giveing security and bringing inventory.

He obtained deed from Thomas Pope for 150 acres near the Clifts in Westmoreland county, February 2, 1659. He married Elizabeth, daughter and heir-at-law of Richard Hawkins, as shown by the Westmoreland records. He died about 1695, leaving a will which, however, is not to be found, the book containing it having been lost. His children, were, 1 Lawrence, 2 Humphrey, 3 John, 4 a daughter who married (a) William Payne, of Ye'ocomico, and (b) Daniel McCarty; 5 Jemima, who married Nicholas Minor, and had four sons and a daughter, viz., William Stewart, John, Stewart, Nicholas and Elizabeth Wherret. Lawrence, eldest son of Humphrey and Elizabeth Pope, married Jemima , relict of John Spence, and daughter of Thomas Waddy, of Northumberland. He lived in Washington Parish, in Westmoreland, and died there. His will was recorded March 2, 1723. His wife was made his executrix, and his estate was large. His children were, 1 Humphrey, 2 Thomas, 3 John, 4 Jemima, 5 Anne, 6 Mary, 7 Penelope, 8 Catherine. Humphrey, second son of Humphrey and Elizabeth Pope, names his mother in a deed to Spencer for land in 1719; makes deed to his brother John in 1704 jointly with his wife "Amey." His will is dated January 10, 1733; probated October 29, 1731. This will names wife "Mary," apparently implying a second marriage. He married, first, Amey, "eldest daughter of Morris Yeale." His children were 1 Anne, who married Conditt; 2 Sophia, married Muse; 3 Humphrey, 4 John, 5 Sarah, 6 Mary, married William Muse. John Pope, third son of Humphrey and Elizabeth (Hawkins), died in 1722 without a will. His widow Elizabeth married, secondly,Christopher Mothershead. An inventory of his estate was rendered in 1722. Humphrey Pope, son of Lawrence and Jemima, married Anne, who signed deed with him to Samuel Damonville, June 29, 1736. His estate was divided 1744. His children were, 1 Sarah (chose William Muse as guardian), 2 Humphrey (chose Thomas Clayter as guardian), 3 Mary (chose Nicholas Minor as guardian), 4 John (chose William Muse as guardian). Thomas Pope, son of Lawrence and Jemima, died in Westmoreland in 1741. (Will dated February 23, 1741; probated March 8, 1741.) HIe married Mary, one of the four daughters of Samuel Heath, of Northumberland, and had issue one daughter, Elizabeth. His relict, Mary (Heath) Pope, married, second, William Tebbs, of Prince William county. John Pope, son of Lawrence and Jemima, gave deed October 27, 1738, to Thomas Shaw for land devised to him by his "father Lawrence Pope."

The widow of one gentleman and the sister-in-law of a member of the bench, Downman's long-standing liaison with Rawleigh Chinn, a gentleman of neighboring Lancaster, was a scandal in both counties. She tried to evade the court's censure by failing to answer a charge of bastardy and then hired herself a lawyer to challenge the grand jury's presentment. For almost ten years, the grand jury pursued her with a variety of charges, including absence from church, adultery, and of being a person of ill fame and lewd character. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=thamm&id=I249 | Chinn, Rawleigh (I42453)

Terms required Hite and McKay to settle 100 families within 2 years. The Cole bros, Rentrfoes and Robinsons came to Western VA at that time. 1737 living in old Orange Co, VA, signed a petition: "The inhabitants of Opeckon and Shenanadore humbly beg, that your Court give permission that two meeting places might be erected. One on the land of Rev William Williams near his home and another near the home of Morgan Bryan. Rev William of Presbyterian faith has promised to supply us the ministry of his office.

This location also mentioned in John Madden documents a little later in 1745) __ James migrated to West Virginia after 1730. He was in Orange County, West Virginia in 1737. In 1742, James was appointed Constable by the Augusta County Court that was formed from Orange County, West Virginia. In July 1745, James received a 400 acre grant along Buffalo Creek. In December 1753, he buys 400 acres on Story Ceek in Lunenburg County, Virginia. In May of 1773, he sells 49 acres.

In about 1767, they moved a few miles south of where Hatchet Creek enters the north side of Pigg River, a few miles west of Rocky Mount. In 1784 they moved on west to Franklin Co., KY, near Frankfort, where some of the older children had already migrated. But for approximately 34 years they lived in what is now Franklin Co., VA, although they left just before Franklin Co. was organized. "As a young married man living on the Blackwater River, William had served as an Anglican Lay Reader (because of the shortage of clergymen). The meetings were held in the houses Joseph RENTFROE and Mark COLE, and William was paid a small stipend in tobacco. Later he served as a J.P., in early Henry Co. History. "Their home was apparently quite close to the old Bedford Co., line before Franklin Co., was formed. Before the COOK family left for Ky., a letter was prepared by their neighbors and friends, some of whom lived in Bedford Co. The letter which is still preserved, reads as follows: Sept. 26, 1783 "HENRY CO., VA: This is to certify that William COOK has been a resident in this place for near thirty years; and has always behaved unblameable; and demeaned himself as a good citizen, Patriot, and friend, to his country and has faithfully Acted in the Civel department--and now being disposed to move to the Western Waters, we recommend him to the Inhabitants of that Country hoping he will meet with as warm a reception as the Merits of his Caracter Intitles him to.

Taliaferro, in Volume 40, Number 1 (January-March, 1996) of The Virginia Genealogist: This Augustine Smith is sometimes confused with his distant kinsman, Augustine Smith of "Purton," Gloucester Co, who married Sarah Carver, 9 Feb 1711. The Augustine of "Purton" was the son of John and Mary (Warner) Smith, grandson of Augustine, Jr and Mildred (Reade) Warner, and great-grandson of Augustine, Sr and Mary (Towneley) Warner. Augustine Smith was the son of Lawrence Smith per page 54 of "Colonial Caroline: A History of Caroline County, Virginia, " (1954) by T. E Campbell. Augustine commanded the first garrison at Fredericksburg, and had been public surveyor for St Mary's Parish, whose people did not like him. However, the Williamsburg authorities made him surveyor of both Spotsylvania and Essex Counties when when the upper end of St Mary's Parish was split. The feud grew greater through the years as planters tried many tactics to get rid of him. A new county (Caroline) seemed a plausible way. Spotsylvania County, Virginia DB A (1722-1729) dated 4 Feb 1728, from John Waller and John Taliaferro as Trustees of the town of Fredericksburg in Spots Co. to Augustine Smith of Caroline County, Virginia., conveyed lots 30 an 32 in said town.

Mary Smith, daughter of Augustine Smith, of Culpeper, an early land surveyor, who lived on the Rappahannock river. His will is on record in the first Vol. of Will records of Orange county. Augustine Smith was of the Horseshoe Expedition of Gov. Spotswood (see http://cal.jmu.edu/sherwork/Writings/History/1716.htm), as was also another surveyor, Col. James Taylor. Augustine Smith was the son of Col. Lawrence Smith, of Gloucester county, and York Town. Col. Smith for years was commandant of the fort at Falmouth, Virginia. The House of Burgesses also gave him civil jurisdiction over a section around the fort, an unusual mark of confidence, and donated to him a tract of land on the Rappahannock, three and a half miles wide by five miles long. He was once defeated in battle by Bacon, his troops deserting him. Altogether he was one of the most distinguished Virginians of his day. He (Col Lawrence) laid out York Town." From page 98 of "The Armistead Family 1635-1910," (1910), by Virginia Armistead Garber: "Augustine Smith (son of Major Lawrence Smith, great-uncle of Thomas Smith, of York,) was one of the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe. He married Susanna Darnell; had a son Thomas, a son John, and daughter Mary, who married Robert Slaughter. His will proved in Orange County; lived in St. Mary's Parish, Essex County." Augustine was one of the original Trustees for the town of Fredericksburg in 1727. From page 97 of "The Armistead Family 1635-1910," in 1722 he qualified as one of the first justices for Spotsylvania County, and his will was proved in Orange County, Virginia., 20 Jul 1736, and names issue, Thomas, of Prince Wm.

He and brothers, Honor and Thomas, were listed on the Quit Rent Rolls, each having 72 acres. 8/10/1705 Essex Co, Virginia. Place put the following on record at the court house: "Know all men that I Place Powell of Essex Co and Parish of St Anne's do for several threatenings of Mary Powell my wife that she will make away with what I have a-purpose for to ruine me, I do, therefore, forwarne all manner of persons from having any manner of dealing with her and from taking anything of her or entertaining her without my consent." Place signed with an "X". A footnote says she may have been a "she-devil", probably as a result of loneliness. 1/11/1710 St Ann's Parish was still his residence when he leased 300 acres to Augustine SMITH for 99 years, the land was in St Maries, Richmond Co. "whereon George and William Proctor now liveth in the freshes of Rappahannock River in the forks of Lamb's Creek, being the land granted unto Francis PLACE by patent Sept. 1654, relation being had to the records, and now doth of right belong to the said Place Powell, partly to these presents." Witnesses were: John Golding, Cassandra Golding and John Wood. It was not recorded until 1/13/1714, after the next event. 6/3/1713 The previous entry concerned land that Place's parents had sold some 40 years prior and the question arose about the validity of the contract. The matter went to court and the jury's verdict was: "Francis Place took up the land in question, 300 acres in Sept. 1654; on Aug 11, 1655, he made a deed in tail to his daughter, Mary, and she was thereafter in possession of the land. Mary married Thos. Powell and said Place is their eldest son. Mary died about 3 years ago the middle of December last. On Sept. 30, 1666, Thomas and Mary deed the land to James COGHILL, who, on Oct 11, 1667 deeded it to William Wilton. He took out a new patent for the land on Oct. 3, 1671. 'Wee do not find any patent of the sd land granted to the sd ffrancis Place before that dated in 1654 before cited. Wee find that the sd ffrancis Place was dead long before the date of Wilton's patent. Wee find the said Mary Powell lived a widow' nine or ten years before she died." There was one final entry concerning Place and this same 300 acres: 9/7/1750 King George Co. "Honorias Powell, of St. Mary's Parish, Caroline Co, as brother and heir apparent to Place Powell, who has removed himself to some remote place out of Virginia, conveys to John CHAMPE, Gent, the land patented Sept, 1654, by Francis Place and leased Nov. 11, 1710 by said Place Powell to Augustine SMITH, Gent, which lease is of record in Essex Co." It appears that Place left Essex Co but no one knew his whereabouts and so assumed him dead (in 1715) with his property passing to brother, Honorias. John Golding gave bond as administrator of Place's estate but apparently there was a problem because in July 1716, Augustine SMITH posted 50 pounds bond to administer the estate, "he dying without a will." Inventory and appraisment of Place's estate was recorded in 1717. Mary (POWELL).Mary married Place POWELL before 1705 in Essex Co, Virginia, St Anne Parish. === === 1706-1718 Essex County Deed & Will Book; {John Frederick Dorman}: Pages 348-351 7 Feb 1706/7 Augustine Smith of St. Ann's Parish, Essex County, Gent., to Francis Gouldman of same, Gent, for 18,000 pounds of tobacco 1162 acres in St. Ann's Parish on the the north side of a small branch of Occupation swamp crossing the swamp... corner white oak of Ward's being part of a patent of 2369 acres formerly granted unto Robert Beverley 29 Oct 1696 and by him deserted and since granted unto Augustine Smith 16 May 1704.
