| Notes |
- The second eldest son of John and Nancy Pope was George Raymond Pope,my Grandfather, who married Emma Hazel Williams, my Grandmother.Interesting footnote, Bruce and Raymond (brothers) married Emma andNollie (sisters) thus there are some double cousins in the family.Raymond and Emma had two children, Manuel Jerome Pope (deceased) whomarried Dorothy Hawkins Pope who lives in Williston, Florida and theyhad one son Manuel Jerome Pope, Jr. (Jerry) who also lives inWilliston with his wife Sandra. Jerry has two sons both from previousmarriages the eldest is Scott Pope who is married to Agnes and haveseveral children and grandchildren and live in Jacksonville, Floridaand the youngest is Troy Pope who has one child and lives in PonteVedra Beach, Florida. Raymond and Emma also had a daughter, DorothyCarolyn Pope Whitfield, my Mother. Dorothy married Hugh MerrillWhitfield, Jr. (Whit) from Leeds (Birmingham) Alabama. Whit andDorothy had one son whom she lives with in Melbourne, Florida ,Randall Merrill Whitfield (Randy) yours truly, and his wife SusanCarol Trolinger Whitfield and we have one son Blake Cameron Whifieldwho attends The University of North Florida in Jacksonville.Interestingly enough, Susan's Greatgrandfather was adopted by theTrolinger family but his real last name was Hall. So technically,Susan was a Hall and I understand that Hall is also one our familynames some ways back. Just a liitle background on the Williamssisters, Emma and Nollie, they were from Columbus, Georgia and werethe daughters of King Williams and Molly Griggs Williams whose Motherwas from Ireland. Emma and Nollie had four sisters (all deceased)Jesse, Clara, Pearl, Wilma and two brothers who died as children,Roscoe and Monroe.
