Hi In the Gazetteer of Jefferson Co by Hamilton Child Township of Henderson page 448 paragraph 2 is information on Asa Bishop. I am away from my home so I cannot give you the details. If you wish to contact me again in another week or so, I can copy the info for you. Perhaps some one else can give you that.

For Sheila: The paragraph to which Jeanette Childs refers is: The town of Henderson began to settle under the agency of Asher Miller, of Rutland, about 1802, the land books showing that Thomas Clark, Samuel Stewart, Philip Crumnett, John Stafford, and Peter Cramer had taken up lands in this town, to the extent of 1,195 acres, on October 26 previous. Moses Barrett, William Petty, Daniel Spencer, Captain John Bishop and sons Calvin, Luther, Asa, and Sylvester, Jedediah and James McCumber, Samuel Hubbard, Elijah Williams, Levi Scofield, William Johnson, David Bronson, John and Marvel Danley, Andrew Dalrymple, Luman Peck, Jonathan Crapo, George W. Clark, Thomas Drury, Anthony Sprague, Daniel Forbes, Emory Osgood, and many others settled within two or three years from the opening of settlement, being mostly emigrants from New England. Typed from Childs' Histories of the Towns of Jefferson County and on my website at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~twigs2000/henderson.html Also, mention of Bishop Street appeared several paragraphs before the above entry: BISHOP STREET (p. o.) is a small hamlet in the eastern part of the town. It has one church (Methodist Episcopal), saw-mill, wagon shop, wood turning works, a telephone office, and about 100 inhabitants.
