Notes for John BISHOP
On one of my trips to the Anglican Church Archives Newton Morgan who comes from Port de Grave asked me what I knew about John Bishop who lived on the Southside mid 1700's. I told him, then he said he had a family who came here after his death and they were cared for by relatives. We were satisfied it was the same John. He was killed in a fight or something Newton was told.
We found
John Bishop
Mary Hutcheson
22 Oct 1770 Henry
18 Oct 1772 James
This couple were not married as the wives maiden name was stated. There were no baptisms recorded after James.
