Jacob Thomas POPE
M, b. 28 February 1745, d. 1795
Jacob Thomas POPE, son of Sampson POPE and Susannah Thomas, was born on 28 February 1745 in Edgecombe, Edgecombe County, North Carolina.
Jacob married Elizabeth Dawkins in 1767 in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. She was the daughter of George Dawkins and Elizabeth Beard.
Jacob Thomas POPE, Elizabeth Dawkins and Sampson POPE and Susannah Thomas sold a tract of land to Richard Vick on 24 November 1769 in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. From court minutes: At Tuesday Court, a deed of sale from Jacob Pope and Elizabeth his wife AND Sampson Pope and Susannah his wife to Richard Vick was acknowledged.1
In 1776, reference was made in the Provincial Congress of North Carolina, "that Jacob Pope did actually take up Arms and lead forth to War, as Captain of a company of forty-nine men for the purpose, he being a free-holder and lives in Bladen County." A committee enquired into his conduct of insurgents April 20, 1776, after Elizabeth Pope appealed: "...resolved that Jacob Pope, now a Prisoner of Stanton Town, in Augusta County, Virginia be permitted to return to the County of Edgecombe, he taking the Oath of state." This reference was because of him taking part in the Battle of Moore's Creek in 1776, for which he was jailed. On January 23, 1779, the General Assembly of North Carolina passed a resolution admitting Jacob Pope to the privileges of a Citizen. He was readmitted his citizenship on January 23, 1779 by the General Assembly of North Carolina, admitting Jacob Pope to the Privileges of a citizen.
Jacob Thomas POPE died in 1795 in Edgefield County, South Carolina.
