| Notes for John Pope |
William Smead, on the death of his mother, was put under the care of John Pope. Pope died 12 Apr 1646, leaving by will "unto William Smead my little boy my loomes and such tacklings as do belong unto them which is to value of 3 Pounds, provided he be willing to dwell with my wife after his time is out. Also provided he be willing to learn my trade, and that there be a comfortable agreement made between them afterwards."9
Those who established the family on this side of the Atlantic were Thomas and John Pope, who crossed the ocean on the Mary and John, landing in Massachusetts September 3, 1634. John Pope was a freeman of Dorchester and in his will, drawn up in 1646, mentioned his brother Thomas, who is supposed to have been Thomas Pope of Plymouth. |
