• Notes

  Married: In the Greenville Mountaineer, Feb. 18, 1848, issue, there was a marriage notice: Married on Jan 19 by J. W. Barker, Esq., Mr. John Bishop to Miss Louisa Hawkins, both of Chickasaw Co., MS. This implies a SC connection, and Bernadine L. Bishop verified that the John Bishop referenced is the John who was the son of Joseph Bishop and Jane Cunningham.
