Location of St. Clair Bottom, Virginia
John Bishop 1610 Eng-1694 Stamford CT
"John Bishop, pastor of the church, married Rebecca Goodyear
in Stamford, and had eight sons and two
daughters. He served the First Congregational church for
fifty years through many difficult and trying
times in the Colonies. He died in 1694 at the age of 84, a
much respected and beloved clergyman.
Four sons survived along with his two daughters. Their names
were; Stephen, Joseph, Ebenezer,
Benjamin, Mary and Rebecca. Stephen's grandson, Joseph,
along with his family, decided to move
south to St. Clair Bottom, Virginia in 1773. From this
branch of the family have descended the majority
of the contributors of this memorial brass plaque."
St. Clair Bottom lies about 5 miles west of Charlottesville
on route 250 in Ivy, Virginia. Ivy is where the Boars Head Inn
is located. Meachum River is about five miles west of there.

Bishops in Sussex, Virginia, Nov 1997, Donna Bishop Wright [email protected]
Found this info at Sussex County Courthouse in Virginia. I don't
believe these folks are in my line but they may belong to one of you:
Will for James N. Bishop who was a native of Sussex County, VA,
but who became a resident of Edgecomb County in North Carolina. He
mentions his wife, Mary A. Bishop, his father, the late Henry Bishop,
and his mother, Elizabeth E. Lewis.
Will for James N. Bishop's mother, Elizabeth E. Lewis, probated
in 1869 in Sussex mentions her five children:
Thomas J. Bishop (executor)
William W. Bishop (or William S. F. Bishop according to his
brother, James' will)
Alpha A. E. Bishop (she married William U. M. Taylor on
8/21/1849 in Sussex County according
to records at www.image.vtls.com)
George W. Bishop
James N. Bishop
A few other Bishops married in Sussex:
Autobine H. Bishop m. Sarah A. E. Johnson on Feb. 4, 1851.
Mary E. Bishop m. Theron L. Johnson on May 31, 1848.
Joseph A. Bishop married Georgiana Little on Jul. 8, 1862.
(Joseph is mine - he is as far back as I have
been able to go in my Bishop line.)
Hope this helps someone - let me know if you need a copy of something
from the Sussex County courthouse.

Hoping to find others working on this Bishop family in the Roanoke, VA area.
The family began with Jacob BISHOP b. @1755 (VA orPA) who md @1785 to Mary b.
@1764.
Jacob Bishop is first documented in Botetourt in 1787, as surrety for a
KESSLER wedding. He purchases 200A on Loonies Mill Creek in 1799. This land
remains in the family through 1870+. Jacob & Mary have at least 5 children.
John A. Bishop Sr. b. @1786 md (1) 1809 Elizabeth FAUGHT, dau of John FAUGHT;
and (2) 1832 Phoebe BEAN, dau of Josiah Bean. John's issue marry into:
Dooley, Siphers, Harper, Tabscott, Fink, and Leighton.
Elizabeth Bishop b. 1787 md Thomas L. Kelly and had large issue. She donates
part of her homestead to the Dunkard Church.
Dolly Bishop b. @1790 md John FOUT and moves to Rhea Co., TN by 1838, her
children marry into the Bean, and Kelly families.
Catherine Bishop b. 1796 md Jacob Zimmerman and tends to remain in Botetourt.
Is anyone else working on Bishop's in Montgomery county that may have a link
to my Jacob?
