      Hi Gary,
      My ancestor was George W. Bishop, brother to William W. Bishop Jr. and he was married to a woman named Ollie Baker. Would you happen to know if she was a sister to Jane Baker, and who the parents were. I read somewhere that Richard Baker was Jane’s father and of course if she was a sister to Ollie Baker, then he would be her father too. I have a good deal of info on the Bishop family, but not much one Baker family. If you have any more on the Bakers, that you would like to share, I would appreciate. Also if you have any pictures of the Bishop family, I would appreciate that as well. I will be happy to share what I have with you.

      I don’t know if you have heard or not, but the original assumption that everybody had on the Bishop’s were that they came from Germany and settled in Lancaster Co., Pa. The name was originally Bischoff. I spent a lot of time tracking this family down only to discover that we were tracking the wrong Bishop family. It is a long story, but our immigrant ancestor was born in England in 1669 and came to America on one of William Penn’s ships as and indentured servant to a man named James Sandiland. He came in 1682 at the age of 13 and they settled in Chester Co., PA where there were a lot of Quakers.

      This story is quite detailed so I am not going to post it all here, but if you are interested in the rest of it, please email me at:

        Gary Hilton is my mother’s 1st cousin. I too was connecting the Bishops to the Bischoffs of Pennsylvania who came from Germany. Could you provide me with the full story on the Bishops? I would appreciate it. My email address is amy.hansen@pnc.com.

    Hi! I’m interested in the Baker lines.
    I have George Baker

    Husband of Mary J. (Harris) Baker
    Father of William W. Baker, John Baker, Amanda Baker, Araminta Baker and Jackson M. Baker
    Died after 1900 in Lincoln Co., W.Va.

    I also have John Baker
    Born about 1845 in Russell Co., Va.map
    Son of James C. Baker
    Husband of Mary (Minton) Baker
    Father of Amanda Baker, George Baker, Mary E. Baker, Samuel Baker, Nathaniel Baker, Hilda Baker, James Baker, Nancy D. (Baker) Hamilton, William J. Baker and Sally Baker
    Died before February 14, 1885

    I also have another line. It is Nancy Mary Lawson formerly Baker
    Born 1765 in Shenandoah Co, Virginia
    Wife of William Lawson II — married January 4, 1788 in Christiansburg, Montgomery, Virginia
    Mother of William Lawson III, Rhoda (Lawson) Hilton and Henry Lawson

    Can anyone tell me anything about these three lines? They are all different lines of my family tree.

    Hi Gary,
    Do you know if these Bishops were related to the Edmund Bishop family? Edmund was my GGG-Grandfather born 1801 in VA. He later farmed in the area around Jacks Creek, Henderson county, TN near Enville, TN. He was a Captain in the 110th Regiment of the Henderson County Militia in December 1836 and was buried in the Cabo Cemetery. One of Edmund’s sons was Pvt. William Marshall “Billy” Bishop born Dec. 11th, 1833-Nov.8th, 1883, m. Mary Jane Sewell. Edmund’s oldest son Pvt. James Franklin Bishop was my GG-Grandfather, and his son was William Lawson Bishop. If there’s a family connection between these two families, or if you have info/photos of my Bishop family line, I would love to have it since the researching ends with Edmund. Thanks!
