The community of Pope Hill was the area around which present-day Wrens was established, around the time of the American Revolution. It’s sometimes referred to as Pope’s Crossroads.
Though I haven’t been able to locate much information about the Popes, I assume they were the first settlers of the area. I’ve also yet to establish a coonnection to this house, but I’ve learned that it was built sometime around 1830. Double chimneys flank both ends of the house. I’ll update as I learn more.
A curious stone marker, placed by Carrie in memory of A. J. & Nancy Williams, stands in the front yard.
