Cynthia Ann Sturgess was the daughter of James A. Sturgess and she was probably born in Virginia. She married in 1800, William Pope Jr., and they had ten children. The following lived to become of age and married, John (1801-25), William H. (1803-67), Robert (-1879), Capt. Godfrey (-1846), Cynthia Ann (1808-30), and Charles Donald Pope (1817-41). The others were Nathaniel, Minor, Frederick (c1820-36) and James Pope (1809-45).

Cynthia and her husband were buried in the Pope family cemetery next to 2134 Edgehill Road, Louisville. In 1920 there was still standing a handsome monument to mark their graves. The stone cemetery wall was subsequently removed and the only monument remaining in 2014 was an obelisk marking the graves of Elizabeth Campbell (1815-42) and her four children who died in 1842 during an epidemic. In 2014-15, all the remains contained in the cemetery and the Campbell obelisk were removed to the Kate Pope lot in Cave Hill Cemetery by archaeologist Jay Stottman.
