Research Notes
10 Jul 2022: At the adoption of this profile page, the profile showed the following for Tabitha B. Pope—DOB: 1798. Father: Unknown Pope. Sibling: Henry Pope. Spouses: John Thurmond; William Thurmond. Children: Nancy Pope (Thurmond) McWhorter. DOD: aft 1850. The Biography section of the profile began with information on a Martha Williams, totally irrelevant to this profile. Only two items were shown in Sources: the first, a source regarding the information on the irrelevant Martha Williams; the second, a statement that "Source will be added by Lynn Hemrick by 30 Jul 2017."
Because neither of the items under sources were sources, they have been removed from that section of this profile page.
Because I find nothing to even suggest that Tabitha married John Thurmond, that relationship has been removed.
Date of birth removed and preserved in these Research Notes until a source can be found to confirm.
Middle initial removed and preserved in these Research Notes until a source can be found to confirm.
