Nola and Linda, Here's a little more info on the Bishops in New York. In 1840 there were three in Delhi, Delaware county, John, Sarah age 71 living with John, and Joshua. There were three other Bishop families in Delaware county in 1840, Joseph, Rufus N., and Edward. Sarah was most likely drawing a War of 1812 pension. In 1830 there were four Bishop families in Delaware county, but only John in Delhi. The numbers for the males in John's household match what we would expect, while the two females are shifted one column. The other three households were Rufus, Joseph, and Andrew. I leave you to wrestle with this question - Were John, Joseph, Rufus, Joshua, and Edward sons of Andrew and was Sarah his widow? Gayle
