Occupation: housewife.
From Arnold Taylor:
She was born in 1801, according to her father's pension application (1799,
according to Rockenfield, Our Boone Families, R929.2 B724r, and Norcross, The
Norcross Family of Henry County, Missouri, and Related Families). In the Whitley
County census for 1860 she is reported to be 56, which would make her born in 1804.
There are references to her being born in Cumberland County, Kentucky but I have
not confirmed that, and no Cumberland records I've seen have any Bishops; the Knox
Death Records for 1874 state that she was born there, but information from survivors
is often suspect, and the liklihood is that she was born in the Whitley area of Knox
County. Norcross says that she was born near Cumberland Gap. (Note from SCPerkins: The
History of Cumberland Co., KY, lists William Bishop as a founding Elder of the first
Baptist Church in Cumberland County in 1797. So Margaret Bishop was probably born in
Cumberland County, KY.)
She married Jesse Walker in Whitley County on 20 August 1820 (Norcross says the
7th), and they were the parents of Pleasant Phillip Walker. Cornelius, supra, p.59.
In 1860 they were living in the Wild Cat area.
She died on the 20th (according to the Knox Death RecordCHECK) or 30th of September
1874, in Knox County. Norcross says the 20th. An M. Walker, who died in 1874 at age
73, is buried at Stoney Fork Cemetery in Knox County, on Little Poplar Creek. Knox
County, Kentucky Cemeteries, V. III, 976.9125 K739kc, v.3, p.78. This is probably
our Peggy.
She married Jesse Walker (8) (A8).

he is in Whitley Co., KY and he appears in the 1830 Census of Whitley Co., KY.
From Arnold Taylor:
He was born about 1760, based on his pension application described
below. According to the Knox Death Records for 1874, the parents of Margaret
Bishop, his daughter, were both born in Pennsylvania, but since neither the
parents nor Margaret could have been telling anyone that, there is no way to
verify it. He came to Kentucky from Virginia. He died after June 1831 and
before 15 Dec 1834 in Whitley County. He was sued and lost a case in the June
Term of Whitley Circuit Court. Whitley Circuit Court Order Book A-B-C, p.505.
Whitley County, Kentucky Will Book 1, 1818-1854, 976.902 W613b, by Broyles, at
33 (Original page 54) shows an Inventory and Appraisal of his Estate on 15
December 1834.
He was married to Polly or Jane ____, and the latter is probably our
ancestor. The Wolf Creek Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery in Whitley County
has a Jane Bishop, born ___, died 13 June 1840. M10 C6. William does not appear
in the listings for that cemetery available to me and I was unable to find him
there in the Spring of 1996.
He was a Revolutionary War soldier. Crozier's Virginia Military Records,
R975.5 V817m, pp. 724 & 729 provided some information about his application for
a pension. That source has some flaws, as shown by the record in Whitley Circuit
Court Order Book A-B-C, p.54. He made application on 18 July 1820, while living
in Whitley County, Kentucky. He said that he was about 60, which would make him
born about 1760. He enlisted at Winchester, Virginia and served for 18 months,
going out in 1777 under Captain John Rice of Col. Adam Stephens' (Fourth
Virginia?) Regiment, General Daniel Morgan's Brigade. He was at the Brandywine
and Germantown. He was discharged at White Marsh. He said he was practically
penniless.
His seven living children, according to the Application, were Mahlon
(38), Lydia (36), John (33), Polly (31), Betsy (Elizabeth, 29), Margaret (Peggy
19) and Jennie (18); all were married except Margaret, our ancestor (she got
married in August), and she was not living at home. Mention is made of a wife,
who was afflicted with rheumatism; that must have been Jane, who did not die
until 1840.
Whitley County Circuit Court, July Term 1820, p. 54, Order Book
A-B-C.
William Bishop, an applicant for a pension under the act of Congress
of the 18th of March 1818 appears in court and makes his application in writing
touching his service and also exhibited and made oath to a schedule of his
estate which affidavit and schedule signed by the said William Bishop follows
in these words, viz., State of Kentucky, 12th Judicial District and Circuit
Court for Whitley County Etc.
On the Eighteenth day of July in the year 1820 in open court before
the circuit court aforesaid it being a court of Record by act of Assembly
proceeding according to the course of common law personally appeared William
Bishop aged about sixty years a resident in Whitley County aforesaid, who being
sworn according to the law with the view of obtaining a pension under the
provisions of the Act of Congress passed on the 18th day of March in the year
1818 entitled "An Act to Provide for certain persons engaged in the Land and
Naval forces service of the United States in the Revolutionary War" declared
that he enlisted in the service of the United States for the term of eighteen
months which term he faithfully served and was discharged at White Marsh that
his enlistment aforesaid was in the year 1777 in the Company commanded by
Captain John Rice, the Regiment commanded by Col Stephens and the Brigade by
General Daniel Morgan that the said Regiment as he believes was the 4th
Virginia Regiment upon the Continental Establishment.
That he enlisted in Winchester in Virginia was during his time of
service aforesaid in the Battle of Brandywine and in the Battle of Germantown.
That he lost his discharge and has no other proof of his service now
in his power.
He stated further upon his oath that he has not since the 18 day of
March 1818 conveyed away sold or in any manner transfered any money or property
with the view of diminishing his estate so as to bring his case within the
provisions of the before mentioned Act of Congress and that he has not any estate
real or personal or xxxxx in possession xxxxxx xx xxxxx xo has any person
whatsoever any property real or personal or xxxxx in trust for him nor is any
person indebted to him or liable to him by Covenant for any money or property
other than what is xxxxxxxed in the schedule below, Viz.,
No land and little mare of the value of $15 one cow and calf of the
value of $15 due him by note signed the day and year aforesaid in open court
William Bishop
The said William Bishop further stated upon the oath afsd. that his
occupation is that of a tiller of the ground at which he is able to perform
but little labour owing to a defect in one of his arms
That he has a wife sorely afflicted with the Rheumatism that he has
seven Children alive, namely Mahlon aged about 38 years long since married,
Lydia aged about 36 years long since married, John aged about 33 years long
since married, Polly aged about 31 years long since married, Betsy aged about
29 years married, Peggy aged about 19 now single but not residing with her
parents, and Jenny aged about 18 years married
Sworn and declared upon the oath of the said William Bishop and
subscribed by him before me John L Bridges Presiding Judge of the Circuit
Court above mentioned in open court the day and year first mentioned
John L Bridges
And at the same time John G Laughlin being duly sworn stated that he
believes that the schedule rendered by the said William Bishop is correct and
true and he further stated that he is acquainted with the circumstances of the
said William Bishop his character and that he is a man of honest fair character
upon consideration of the affidavit of the said William Bishop and the
oath of the said John G Laughlin it is the opinion of the Court that the matters
of the said affidavit and schedule are true and it is ordered that the same with
the opinion of the Court be certified to the Secretary of War.
Crozier also has an entry on p. 79, indicating that the Brunswick
County Militia records for March 1777-October 1782 show a William Bishop as
an Ensign on 27 August 1781, but that is not likely our William, as his tour
of duty should have ended in 1779 at the latest. Moreover, Brunswick County
is at the southern border of Virginia, whereas Winchester is at the northern.
By the time of the 1830 Whitley County census, he was listed as
William, Sr.; he was stated to be 70-80 years old, living with a female
60-70 years of age. The Whitley Co., Ky. Tax List Summary, 1819-1850, supra,
p.24, shows William, Sr. being taxed on 50 acres of land on Linncamp for 1830
and 1831.
From Gloria Perkins:
Land Record Book l page 435 Whitley Co Ky Jan 5, 1833 Jesse Walker and
wife and Mahlen Bishop to Jesse Ausbin for $100.00 for 50 acres on Lynn Camp
Creek including place where Wm. Bishop, Sr. formerly lived.

Jane Bishop (maybe wife/widow)
Recorded July 24, 1833
He married Jane unknown (19) (A19), 1790 (?). Children:
Utilizing the data from his pension application, the seven children
of William were the following:
i. Mahlon Bishop2. Born about 1782 VA. Married August 12, 1803
Granger Co Tenn Rose Furgeson(per the late Flossie Meadors) (note
-in Deed records it is listed Mahlon Bishop and Rosanah) married

November 1833. Hall, Will Book One, Whitley County Kentucky, 9

She may be the Mrs. Elizabeth Eggnor who married William Taylor
(aged 44) in Whitley Co. on 25 October 1860. Supra, p.90. There
is quite an age difference there, however.

From Donald Perkins (17 Jan 1999):
We know a lot about Samuel Wyatt of Whitley Co., Ky.:
1783 Greene Co., Tn. Tax list, Rev. War veteran, N.C. Militia Species pay
Certificate No. 603, dated 12 Jun. 1783. Was evidently in the same outfit
as John Bennett, whose daughter Rebecca Samuel married 1775. John Bennett
was paid by N.C Species pay Certificate No. 607 dated 12 Jun. 1783 (North
Carolina State Archives Revolutionary Army Accounts).
Jerry Coffelt and I independently proved our line authentication to
S.A.R. in 1998 on Samuel Wyatt of Whitley Co., Ky. He was born in Va. He
died in Knox Co., Ky. in Jul/Aug 1835. He is listed on the 1805 tax list
of Knox Co., Ky. and in the 1810, 1820 and 1830 Knox Co., Ky. Census. His
estate was probated Oct. 1835 in Knox Co., Ky. Knox Co., Ky. Deed Books B,
C, & D detail numerous Sam Wyatt land transactions. He lived at the
junction of Stinking Creek & the Cumberland River about 5 miles above
Barbourville. His widow, Rebecca Bennett Wyatt went to live with
relatives in Laurel Co. after he died. If we can locate his tombstone, we
may be able to get a b'date to help us on Rowe or John. Sam Wyatt had 15
children that we know of.
From Barbara J. McClanahan, (16 Jan 1999):
Goodspeed's 1889 History of Benton County as it was reprinted by the
Benton County Historical Society in the 1970s.
The article was on the Rev. Wyatt Coffelt and I quote:
"Rev. Wyatt Coffelt, minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, and also farmer and stock raiser of Benton County, Ark., was born in
Knox Co, Ky., February 3, 1812, and resided in his native State until he was
fifteen years of age, when he was taken to Monroe County, Tenn., by his
parents, Jacob and Susanna (Wyatt) Coffelt, who were born in Greenbrier County,
Va., in 1782 and 1786, respectively. Jacob Coffelt was a son of Philip Coffelt,
who was of German birth, and served under Col. Washington in the French and
Indian War at Braddock's defeat. He also served through the Revolutionary War.
His wife, Ellen (Ryan) Coffelt, was captured by the Shawnee Indians during the
French and Indian War, and after eleven weeks' captivity succeeded in effecting
her escape. She was born in Ireland, and came with her parents to America at
the age of five years. Jacob Coffelt was a farmer, and died in 1827, and his
widow in 1864. They were members of the Baptist Church. The mother's father,
Samuel Wyatt, also served in the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary
War."
