Worden Pope IV lost his life in Walker's Nicaraguan expedition.

Worden Pope IV's father was U.S. Congressman Patrick Hamilton ("Patrick Henry" on his headstone) Pope (St. Joseph's (Bardstown, Ky.) c1827, valedictorian), eldest son of Worden, II (1776-1838) and Elizabeth Thruston Pope (1785-1838). He was a lawyer, elected at age 28 to Congress, 1833-35, and to the Kentucky Legislature in 1836. He died at an early age. His residence was on Sixth Street between Liberty and Walnut Streets in Louisville. He married in 1827, Sarah Lawrence Brown (1810-84), daughter of James, III (1780-1853) and Urith Owings Lawrence Brown (1791-1854), of Louisville. Their eight children were twins Elizabeth Thruston (1828-83) and Urith Lawrence (1828-84); James Brown (1830-32); Mary Emeline (1832-36); Ellen E.(1834-99); Worden, IV (1836-c55); Mary Anna (1838-97); and Alfred Thruston Pope (1840-41). James Brown III was a Jefferson County magistrate and owned Homestead, a 1,130-acre hemp and grain plantation outside of Louisville. The Brown's 8,500 square foot house which was probably built before 1820 is on the National Register of Historic Homes and is the clubhouse at Mallard Crossing Apartments near Brown's Lane in Louisville.

Congressman Patrick Hamilton Pope died May 4, 1841, and was buried in the Brown cemetery on Brown's Lane in St. Matthews (Louisville), Ky. and later removed to Cave Hill Cemetery, Louisville. His wife, Sarah Lawrence Brown, died February 22, 1884, and is buried in Cave Hill Cemetery.
