Hi Everyone---I'm new to this list but I just wanted to jump right in.
I believe my 2nd grgrmother to be Sarah F. (Frances?) Carpenter, the daughter
of John Calvin Carpenter who was the son of Temple and Hannah Newton-Carpenter. She was
born about 1841 in AR. She first married William L. Parrish from KY (prob Barren Co., KY),
son of Jefferson C. Parrish. In 1860, They are living in Fannin Co., TX next door to JC
Parrish and family.
WL Parrish may have died during the Civil War, because Sarah F. Parrish then
marries my 2nd grgrfather, George Washington Pope in 1865 in either Denton or Grayson Co.,
TX. Sarah and GW Pope have my grgrmother, AMMA HANNAH POPE in 1869 and poor Sarah dies
before 10/1870 as her estate was inventoried at that time. In 1870, GW Pope and his 1yo
daughter are enumerated in the home of John B. Pope (GW's brother) in Grayson Co., TX.
JB POPE was married to Hannah Pope, a sister of Sarah F. Carpenter-Parrish-Pope.
If anyone is interested in this line or any of the names mentioned, I would love
to exchange info!
