A Great Discovery

You haven't missed him, because you didn't know he was missing, but I am excited to have found my great great grandfather whose name we thought was John. (the father of Robert Mattoc Pope) A researcher whom we hired concluded a couple of years ago that his name was probably Isaac since a marriage record for Isaac and Betty Mattoc existed. The NewFamilySearch program put me in touch with a Pope man in New Mexico who had documentation for that. And so we have Isaac Pope>William Pope>William Pope>John Pope>John Pope>and Steven Pope to add to your pedigrees plus the wives & children. I can imagine how excited you are!
