Bud was descended from John Pope, one of the founding landowners of Atlanta.

He had also been instrumental in starting Utoy Springs Church near Ft. McPherson. John had three sons, to whom he left part of Atlanta. To Bud Pope's grandfather, Henry, was left the area between I-85 and Northside Drive. Henry later sold to the State for the campus of Georgia Tech, along with 4-1/2 acrews that became the site of the Peter's Mansion; this property is now home to the President of the University.
While living in Carroll County, Bud owned a cafe and was a policeman in Villa Rica. Around 1907, the family moved back to Atlanta. Bud became a "train caller"
