    1. [VALEE] Sarah Bishop vs Sarah Wassum m Andrew Love
    2. Janice Zengel
    3. Can someone tell me what the evidence is for Andrew Love's marriage to Sarah BISHOP, as opposed to Sarah WASSUM. The latter name was given in the records of Smyth County marriages (1833). Is there an earlier record of a marriage for Sarah to a Wassum (she would have been very young)? I'm curious because I'm descended from Bishops who moved to Washington/Smyth County, VA ~1775. My branch moved on to Claiborne/Hancock County, TN (~1800), then Lee County, VA (~1825). She could be connected to those Bishops, but I'm not aware of any who were born in North Carolina, and in all the censuses she consistently stated that was where she was born. Nevertheless, it's interesting that Andrew and Sarah were living next to Bishops in several censuses. Janice Zengel Ellicott City, MD Surnames: Bishop/Clark/Cole/Hopkins/Weaver
