dau. of James & Elizabeth (Clinton) Bishop.
md. New Haven, Ct., 2 Mar. 1757 David Thorp

Daughter of Elizabeth Bishop (Clinton) vs
Daughter of James Bishop and Elizabeth Bishop (Perkins)
The dates for the two Elizabeths are EXACTLY the same and each is married to a James Bishop so I am thinking the two men have been conflated/mismerged.
There are THOUSANDS of trees at Ancestry for them.
They are fixable but likely NOT without help of a curator
There are two daughters named Abigail attached and the one marrying Sperry appears to be daughter of Bishop and Clinton.
I will work from bottom but need help at this top of the tree level, please.
TIA
