  	Born by about 1612, based on date of first marriage. (According to Savage, "In 1675, he was 67 yrs. old," but no source is cited.) He came to Plymouth Colony in 1632. Died in Dartmouth between 9 July 1683 (date of will) and 4 August 1683 (date of inventory). Married: (1) Plymouth 28 July 1637 Anne Fallowell, daughter of Gabriel and Catherine (Finney) Fallowell. She died before 29 May 1646 (and probably soon after the birth of daughter Hannah). (2) Plymouth 29 May 1646 Sarah Jenny, daughter of JOHN JENNY. She died before 9 July 1683 (date of husband's will). Source: Anderson's Pilgrim Migration Thomas Pope did not have a son by the name of William Pope. Thomas Pope's last will made no mention of him. See The Great Migration Begins, Immigrants to New England, Vol. III, at pp. 1496-1499 (1995). When the Fairhaven Improvement Association was excavating for a foundation for a memorial for John Cooke, the last surviving male Pilgrim on the Mayflower, 4 skeletons were mistakenly unearthed. 2 adult males and 2 children. One was definitely John Cooke since his coffin had a name plate reading, "John Cooke". The other, was thought to have been Thomas Pope. They were buried at Oxford Burial Hill which since has been named Cooke Memorial Park in Fairhaven Massachusetts. This info on Thomas Pope was found in the Fairhaven Star newspaper dated, December 20, 1902. Karen Vilandry - [3]
