bishopj48 on 2007-12-29 16:30:34My name is John Edward Bishop. I have been doing research on my family lines for twenty plus years. I have my linage family grp sheets from me to 1684. John Bishop and his wife Elizabeth Babb owned and paid taxes on 1,500 ares of the Flat Lick area (now Duffield, Scott Co.,Va.)I have copies of the Land records. Children of John and Elizabeth: Thomas b; 1770 m; Hannah Walling, William, b; 1775, m;Frances Walling, Peter, b;1776, Samuel, b; 1777, John b; 1790 Sampson b; 1794, m; Elizabeth Walling, George b; 1796. My Bishop family came the America in 1738 from Prussia and settled first in Lancaster co., Pa. If any of the info hels or sound familiar let me know if I can hel you. (someone helped me)
My father's mother was a Bishop from the Scott County Bishops. My mother has done extensive work on my dad's lines. I have asked her to share, and as soon as I can teach her how to do online gedcom information sharing, I will also share with you. (The problem is that we are living on opposite coasts right now, so this isn't as easy as it sounds.)
