History
Joseph Pope was born in Plymouth, England on the 20 June 1803. In 1818, Joseph made a trip to Prince Edward Island to visit his brothers John and William, who had been sent by their father Thomas to buy lumber. John and William returned to England, but Joseph remained on PEI and carried on the business in his own name in Bedeque. In 1830, he was elected to the Provincial Legislature and remained there for twenty-three years, twice being elected speaker of the House. In 1853, Joseph returned to England and settled in Liverpool for fifteen years. He came back to PEI and died in Charlottetown on 3 September 1895, in his ninety-third year. Joseph married three times. He and his first wife Lucy Colledge had three children, William Henry, James Colledge, and Lucy Eliza, who died in childbirth in 1828. Joseph did not have any children with his second wife, Eliza Campbell, or by his third marriage to Eliza Cook.
