I would like to know what your source is for the Ollie Jones as the mother of Lovel Bishop, who was my gt grandpa. I have George Bishop married to Ollie Baker. Lovel
Bishop’s first wife was Polly Ann Jones. I looked a long time to find out Ollie’s last name and a cousin mentioned the name Baker, and then I got to thinking that George’s brother, William W. Bishop Jr., married Jane Baker, so there had to be Baker’s in the community. Then someone sent me a marriage record for Ollie’s daughter, Nancy who married Henry H. Hale. I always thought Nancy was a Bishop as George left her in his will and she was in the census as Bishop. However that marriage record had listed Henry H. Hale married Nancy M. Baker, daughter of Allie (Ollie Baker). So Ollie must have been a Baker before she married George Bishop. Don’t know if he was Nancy’s father or not. Something to check into.
