Major Francis Wright.

Pope. granddaughter of William Pope.
and was related to the Washingtons
through Ann Pope. OF Pope Creek. Va,
to George Washington's grandfather.

time Governors OF Illinois Arkansas

nearly all in political life; more of

riage was Miss Alice Carter. After
marrying Mr.. Coates she became
Catholic. and played the piano in one
OF the cathedrals in Richmond
In this family there was :; large num-
Der of children-Just how many I DO

were nearly twenty. Joseph y. Carter,
father of the family. was thirty third
degree Mason, having gone TO Scotland
three four years after the war to
take the degree. He was married
twice; one of his wives names was
VALERIE. \ few years after the war
Joseph Carter died. and 1t seems there
was trouble over property, and for this
reason they became estranged.
