George Foote Pope worked for his brother, Worden, in the Jefferson County Clerk's office, 1802-09. Before Indiana became a state in 1816, he was the first clerk of the common pleas court of Harrison County in Indiana Territory, 1809-11. He sold his partially completed house to the county in 1811, and it was completed and used as the location of the court of common pleas. Apparently it was also used as the location of the General Assembly when Corydon became the territorial capitol in 1813. He served as a lieutenant in the Indiana militia, 1810-11, under Gen. William Henry Harrison (1773-1841).
After returning to Shepherdsville, Ky., Lt. Pope was Bullitt County court clerk, 1821-26, and justice of the peace, 1926-28. He was an attorney and member of the Kentucky Legislature in 1833. He married and had a son, Maj. William Foote Pope (1814-95). In 1822, he married Martha Lancaster Dozier (1790-c1860), daughter of Capt. John (1767-1838) and Elizabeth Lancaster Dozier, of Greenville, Ky. Their five children were Maj. John Dozier (1823-1902), Worden, III (1825-73), Elizabeth Ellen (c1829-81), Sally Ann (1831-64), and Charles Wickliffe Pope (1832/3-98)(dsp).
Major William Foote Pope (1814-95) was appointed private secretary to his cousin, Gov. John Pope (1770-1845), governor of Arkansas Territory, 1829-35, and in consequence moved in 1832 to Little Rock. He was an attorney, judge and received appointments as postmaster of Little Rock from four presidents - Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln, and Jefferson Davis. He was the author of the book, Early Days In Arkansas (Little Rock, 1895), Kessinger Legacy Reprints). He married (1) in 1835, Mary Gordon Peay (1817-46), daughter of Maj. Nicholas (1784-1843) and Juliette Neill Peay (1793-1847) and sister of Col. John C. Peay (CSA)(1823-98). Their children were Juliet Neill (1838-), George Nicholas (1840-48), Anna Neill Pope (c1843-48) and perhaps others, all of whom died in childhood. He married (2) in 1849, Sophie Dunbar Hutt (c1824-), by whom he had two sons, Dunbar Hutt (1853-94) and Bertrand Pope (1857-92), both of whom died unmarried. Dunbar Hutt Pope edited for publication the manuscript of his father's book and served as Arkansas Superintendent of Schools, 1881-82.
Sallie Ann Pope (1831-64) married Ferdinand Ruth (1828-98). They moved to Warrensburg, Mo. but returned to Louisville, Ky. Their four children were John Stanton (1855-1890), Charles Worden (c1857-) who was a druggist, Sterling Price (1862-64), and Georgie Ruth (1864). Apparently they did not marry.
