• Notes

  Demastus (demastus@aol.com): Shows the full name to be William Glover Bishop; much of the info on descendants of Matthew Bishop from him. He got middle name from someone else and I am trying to check it out, but no response yet. Later, Michael Bishop confirmed middle name thru land sale records. RE: William Glover Bishop's middle name. One probable connection. Henry Bishop and son Joseph Bishop held the rank of Sergeant in the 1754 North Carolina Colonial Militia, Colonel Eaton's Regiment. Henry's sons John and George were Privates. Captain John "Johnny" Glover was in charge of the Granville Co. Company. John Glover's father, Joseph Glover and brother, William Glover also served in this Company. The Glover's were apparently close neighbors and could have moved into NC at the same time, as Joseph Glover's father, William Glover was from VA. Another point. A deed abstract, Jan. 25, 1768, Mecklenburg Co., NC. William Glover Bishop to William Barron was signed, William Glover Bishop and Lucy Glover Bishop. Don't know what this connection is. Possible marriage connection? (Helen B. Smith believes that Lucy was Lucy Glover, possible first wife of William Glover Bishop.) This information was provided by a James Bishop to Mailande Schrum and forwarded to me. "Charles H. Bishop" Helen B. Smith thinks that Wm may have also had a daughter Nancy who married Samuel Turner who went to Jefferson Co., AL.......DNB one source: b. abt 1750 in SC ? 1 source: parents Ireland to near Lincolntown, NC settled across creek from bro Edward/Edmund Also see WFT Vol 5 #96: b 1723 NC, d 8/10/1823 Spartanburg Middle name, Glover, verified by Michael Bishop w/land records
