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.
