Hi, Bill! Thanks for your reply. My Rezin Laury BISHOP was b. betw. 1770-1780,
in Maryland. By 1800-1805 he resided in Fred. Co, VA (had land delivered(?)
from Jacob SCOTT in 1805). By 1807 in is living in Middle TN, south of
Nashville, which became in 1807 Maury Co. He was bondsman for a James OLIPHANT
and Sally HENDERSON in 1807. On March 1, 1811 he married Rebecca A. HOWELL, d/o
Reuben HOWELL (prob. of Loudoun Co, VA) and Rebecca MUIRHEID, (b. NJ c1770 d.
c1796 in Loudoun Co, VA.) John MUIRHEID was the bondsman in 1811. Their eldest
son, Thomas Jefferson was b. in 1814 in TN, then by 1817 they were living in the
Ste. Genevieve Dist., Upper LA, in what is now Perry Co. They settled there and
had: Elizabeth, b. 1817, John M., b. 1819, William Greene BISHOP, b. 1824 (my
anc.), James M., b. 1827, Edward, b. 1831, Henry, b. 1832, Alfred H. b. 1833,
and Virginia, 1836. Alfred was blind and Virginia took care of him. Neither
married. Thomas had a large family as did Elizabeth and William. John m. 2x,
dsp. The other sons died in their youth.
Other than the possible kin of the Greenbury BISHOP, s/o Joshua, in
Fred. Co, I don't see a connection to Montgomery Co BISHOPS. The Levin
BISHOP in Boone Co was also from Maryland, but I haven't found a link there either.
[Too bad for us that the famous Ira BISHOP did not have much on the VA or MD
BISHOPS. ...MAYBE with the Internet we will be able to work them out!] Would be
good if we could find whether the Greenberrys(Greenbury)are the same indiv. or
kin, and if... how. BTW my BISHOPS did not have a church affiliation, but
eventually Rebecca joined the Bois Brule Baptist Church, but later had some of
her sick sons baptized at St. Mary's of the Barrens Catholic Church. William
married a Maryland Catholic, but did not convert. Thomas became a Catholic at
age 32. Best regards, Pat Bishop Obrist, St. Charles, MO

Bill, I have data including the will and see a typo for:
============
1820 Census of Ky. Barren Co., Ky. (Glasgow)
Lonry Bishop pg 2 <<< typo
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This individual is Loury BISHOP. I have wondered if he was related to my Rezin
Laury BISHOP. They would be peers. I would be able to quote the will if at
some time there is a cite for this. Pat
