June, Thank you for your response. The only thing I know about my Bishops are: Robert Bishop b. c1738 Mary Polly Bishop b. Nov., 1, 1808 Julia Elma Bishop b. Mar 13,1830 James Henry Bishop b. Sept., 8, 1855 Pearl H. Bishop b. Oct., 1, 1886 Ralph Bishop b. 1888 Blanche I. Bishop b. Sept., 26,1895 Harold Bishop b. Oct., 15, 1898 The first one on the list was probably born in Burlington Co., New Jersey and was a Quaker. The rest on the list were born in Logan Co., OH. Do you recognize any names? I would love to find a connection to the parents, spouse, or siblings of any of the names. Thanks, Karen June Jacobs Jordan wrote: > > Karen Mallumian, > > You were interested in the Bishop family in Logan Co.
