The Popes were of the first generation of settlers born in America. They joined the Society of Friends (Quakers) and thus were persecuted while continuing to live in the Puritan theocracy of Massachusetts. They became involved in a witchcraft trial in Salem as accusers. Moreover, they were related by marriage to the Harts, the Herricks, and the Southwick-Buffingtons, who owned similar chests. Bathsheba Pope was Benjamin Franklin's aunt.
"The Joseph and Bathsheba (Bethsua) Pope valuables oak cabinet sold for $2,422, 500 to Massachusetts and Ohio dealer Bill Samaha in the salesroom, bidding for the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. There was competition in the salesroom and on the phone. Amherst, New Hampshire, dealer Mark Allen entered the fray early, and a collector in the salesroom competed up to $1.6 million before a phone bidder entered the competition and dueled with Samaha. The owners watched the bidding from a skybox."
