Hi Aileen:
In your message you stated that your mother is a Popham. My great great grandmother is Mary Popham who married John S. Brown in Rockingham Co., VA on 31 Dec. 1840. Mary descends from the Popham Family of Culpeper Co., VA. I have some informaaton on this family. Does your mother descend from the Pophams of Culpeper Co., VA?
Did you by chance know that in 1607 there was a Popham Colony in Maine on the bluff where the Kennebed River enters the Atlantic Ocean? It lasted only 13 months when the colonists built a boar and sailed back to England.
