St. Philip and St. Jacob Church Parish Records
As Thomas Pope willed to his wife, Joanna, certain property called Noble's Corner in Barton Regis in Gloucester County, I think it probable that their home was really there and that their other children were baptized and buried there. Mr. Thorold called my attention to a singularly marked slab within the church and which I take to mark the grave of one of Thomas Pope's brothers-in-law. This inscription covers about twenty inches of the slab and is in all caps, though some are larger than others. It reads: "Heare lyeth the body of Lieutenant Corranall William Hardigh of Vergenia, who departed this naterall life the 22 day of November, 1668, aged 46 yeares." The stone cutter outlined the "R" in "Hardigh," but failed to cut in the tail, thus causing it to be misread as a "P," and it was so published in the church history

Nathaniel, Margaret, and Hannah all children of Thomas and Joane were born in Bristol and are in the records. I believe that Thomas's address was Old Market Street parish of St. Phillips. There are other records for the Popes but they are too faint to decipher, but the originals would be worth looking at if there are any Pope descentants in Bristol with an interest in genealogy.

St. Philip and St. Jacob Church Parish Records
As Thomas Pope willed to his wife, Joanna, certain property called Noble's Corner in Barton Regis in Gloucester County, I think it probable that their home was really there and that their other children were baptized and buried there. Mr. Thorold called my attention to a singularly marked slab within the church and which I take to mark the grave of one of Thomas Pope's brothers-in-law. This inscription covers about twenty inches of the slab and is in all caps, though some are larger than others. It reads: "Heare lyeth
the body of Lieutenant Corranall William Hardigh of Vergenia, who departed this naterall life the 22 day of November, 1668, aged 46 yeares."
The stone cutter outlined the "R" in "Hardigh," but failed to cut in the tail, thus causing it to be misread as a
"P," and it was so published in the church history

Nathaniel, Margaret, and Hannah all children of Thomas and Joane were born in Bristol and are in the records. I believe that Thomas's address was Old Market Street parish of St. Phillips. There are other records for the Popes but they are too faint to decipher, but the originals would be worth looking at if there are any Pope descentants in Bristol with an interest in genealogy.

Sir Wm. Berkeley, etc... to Jno. Foxhall 314 acres of land in Westmoreland County in the body of the main forest betwixt the headbranches of Potomack and Rappa beginning at the line of Lt. Col. Jno. Washingtons land extending E 26 poles to a red oak a corner tree of Jno. Pipers from thence S. 320 poles to Spanish oak another corner tree of the said Pipers and thence E 200 poles to a red oak standing in the line of the land of MR. JOHN WATTS then S ? poles along the said MR. JOHN WATTS his line thence E 200 poles along the said Mr. Watts line thence S 50 poles thence W 426 poles to a red oak standing near Ned the Indians path thence N 550 poles to the place begun...23 day of October 1669.

Consequently, in the fall of 1669 John Willis, John Washington, John Piper, John Foxhall, Phillip Browne, Nathaniel Pope, Robert Nurse, and JOHN WATTS owned tracts between the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers near Ned the Indian's path (possibly the same as Wariscreek or Warisquock path) and Powetridge (which was found with a variety of spellings ...I suspect that it may have been named because it was a convenient route for portaging between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers....

WATTS's tract at the head of Mattox Creek was orignally patented by Nathaniel Pope Sr. who willed it to his son Nathaniel (father of Nathaniel Pope alias Bridges) who sold it to Watts in 1665. WATTS then sold half of it to Thomas Wilford who died in 1666, Metes and bounds given in the patents indicate that the western boundary of WATTS' tract joined John Piper and that the southern boundary of WATTS' tract joined John Foxhall. WATTS and Willis lived within two or three miles of each other, but WATTS' land lay on the dividing ridge and was mostly in Westmoreland County where records for this tract are found.

To: Northern Neck Northern Neck List
Message-ID: <08DBAFC5-DCAD-4772-A478-786E8FD83946@craigkilby.com>

the latest issue of the Magazine of Virginia arrived, and there is a very timely article in there by Barbara Vines Little titled "A Much Married Woman: Mary (-----) Pope Bridges Nicholas Whitliffe.

In it, she dispels the incorrect but oft repeated wife of Nathaniel-2 Pope as being one Mary Lisson and/or Sisson. Her maiden name is not known. Pope was the first of her four husbands. Barbara attributes the error to a misinterpretation of a deed in Westmoreland County from Mary Nicholas, widow, to her sons Nathaniel Pope alias Bridges and Lewis Nicholas (both under age 18), and if either of them or she "fail to survive" the property to go to her brother would go to the living children "of my brother and sister Mr. Dunill Lisson and my Jane Lisson." citing Deeds, Wills & Patents 1665-1667, Page 315-315a, dated 20 July 1677).

In fact, this was indeed her (SISTER) Jane who had married Dunill Lisson, her first husband and the "brother " of Mary of the deed.

STOWE and RELATED FAMILIES

Researcher's Note: A. L. Kennedy wrote the following about Mary LISSON. Note other researcher's have put her name as SISSON, SESSIONS or variations. I left her surname off this list until I received Ms. Kennedy's information that states,

Mary LISSON (not SISSON) was the second wife of David WICKLIFFE. The problem was the way the L's were written at the time, if you look at texts on graphology. I've seen the Westmoreland Co. records, on a trip to VA in abt 1993. The following will send you to the approprite records, which I did check firsthand:

From WESTMORELAND COUNTY, VIRGINIA DEEDS, PATENTS, ETC.
1665-1677, PART THREE, compiled by John F. Dornan:
"20 Feb. 1675/6. Elizabeth WHITLIFFE, aged 25 years or thereabouts, sayeth that about five yeares since your deponent's husband David WHITLIFFE did buy a servant woman of Mr. Patricke SPENCE who asked David...

Eliza: Whettley"

It should be noted that it is not unusual for the surname WHETTLEY to be used in referring to the WICKLIFFE family. In at least two other court records, David WICKLIFFE is referred to as both David WHITLEY and David WHITLIFFE (or other variant) in the same entry. Note also the correct usage of the name in the record narrative - such variations in spelling are common in records of the period. Therefore, it must be concluded that David was married prior to his marriage to Mary LISSON.

From WESTMORELAND COUNTY, VIRGINIA DEEDS, PATENTS, ETC.
1665-1677, Part Four, Abstracted and compiled by John Frederick Dorman,
published by John Frederick Dorman, Washington, DC, 1975.

If you check the records far back enough, you find that Mary LISSON was the sister of Daniel LISSON. She was never the wife of any Robert LISSON or SISSON. The confusion may come in the reading of Daniel LISSON'S probate records, as he died without issue, and his relatives from Bristol, England had to settle his estate. One of them was named Robert, and had a wife named Mary, but this was after David WICKLI[FFE married Mary LISSON.
