JOHN POPE, a distinguished politician and statesman, was for many years a
resident of this county, where he died in 1842.  He was a native of Prince
William county, Virginia, where he was born about the year 1770, but
emigrated to Kentucky while quite a boy.  In early life he had the
misfortune to lose his arm, from a severe wound received while attending a
cornstalk mill.  Owing to this accident, he was induced to turn his
attention to the profession of law, and being a man of great native vigor
of intellect, soon attained eminence.  He first settled in Shelby county,
but afterwards removed to Lexington.  He was frequently a member of the
legislature, in which body his great talents rendered him eminently
conspicuous and influential.  In 1807, he was elected to the senate of the
United States, and was for many years a distinguished member of the house
of representatives.  In 1829 he was appointed governor of the territory of
Arkansas, which office he held for six years.  He died at his residence in
Washington county, in the year 1842.  In early life, Mr. Pope belonged to
the federal party; but in after years attached himself to that party which
has assumed to itself the name of democratic, and of which General Jackson
was the founder.
