[Capt John Bishop-DNB031002.FTW]

Will of John Gill, dated 9-26-1788, probated 6-22-1790 Mercer Co., Virginia, Dist of KY, names William Bishop of SC and Richard Ellis and Rober Lethgan his executors in SC. Brother Wm. Gill and John and Thomas Pelham executors in KY. See p. 65, KY Pioneer and Court Records, McAdams. I have proved no connection to any of the William Bishops of Spartanburg, but there is the possibility.

There is great confusion due in large to some terrible DAR records, which have mixed up two (maybe three) different William Bishops.

This may be the William Bishop whose property was probated in Spartanburg, SC, record # 858? Wish I could get those records.

I have a hunch that there is some relationship to the William Bishop who was born abt. 1768, probably in SC, and was in Lawrence Co., MS, and died in AR. The William in Lawrence Co. named one of his children Edmund/Edmond.
