  • Name: John BISHOP 1
  • Sex: M
  • Title: Rev.
  • Birth: 3 MAY 1610 in Holway Manor, Chattistock, Dorset, England
  • Death: 16 NOV 1694 in Stamford, Fairfield Co., Conn
  • Reference Number: 894
  • Note:
    Possible child #7 (of 11) of William and Alice (Dunning) Bishop.
    Bap. May 3, 1610, Cattistock, Dorset, England recorded in Hutchin's History of County Dorset. Lower Holway, the principle manor, consisted of eight messauges, eight orchards, eight gardens, and 359 acres of land. Granted to William Bishop and John Law Jr. and their heirs at an unknown date. At least four generations of Bishops lived in Holway. He received his BA degree at age 20 from Balliol College, Oxford and his MA on April 15, 1635.
    He was in Taunton, Ma in 1640 according to Savage's Genealogical Dictionary of New England and was known as the Taunton Schoolmaster. He moved to Stamford, Connecticut in 1644 to serve as minister of the First Congregational Church. He served for 50 years.
    He is buried in St. John's Cemetery, Stanford, CT.
    From the book 'Stamford from Puritan to Patriot - The Shaping of a Connecticut Community 1641-1774' by Estelle Feinstein, P. 38 states "One of our few sources of primary materials on Stamford, other than official documents, is a series of letters that the Rev. John Bishop wrote to the Rev. Increase Mather, President of Harvard College, that were delivered in the vessels of a wealthy local merchant, Capt. Jonathan Selleck and have been preserved in the Collections of the Massachusetts historical Society."
    John Bishop to Increase Mather, Stamford 5 m. 11 d. 1678
    "Reverend Sr. & Dear Brother, Yours of 3 mo. 28, '78, I received; and as touching reports you enquire (though in great haste, by reason of the vessels hastening away) I canot but make a short returne. There have been, doubtles things of a prodigious nre. among vs, by which we should be awakened; but it is to (be) bewailed, that the awful workes of God are so variously & uncertainly spoken of; as many times I find that we know not what to beleeve, nor how to be affected as we should with what we heave. ... As touching the Earthquake lately in these parts, I can speak to that as being sensible thereof, & many others in this Town, & other Townes also preceived the same; though more westward of vs it was more preceived, & eastward, lesse. It was on an evening after the Sabbath viz. 12 m 3. 77. Likewise on 4 m. 20, 78, a like noise was heard here by myself & many others, who took it to be an Earthquake, rhater than thunder, considering circumstances, though the terraemocon not so perceptible. On the last day, same month, here was a violent storme of hail in several plantacons, one west & others east of vs, that did much damage as its said, & I do verily beleeve, though I forbear to mention the quantity of that hail & the effects of it, because I canot fully beleeve all thats said of it. At Stamford it was only a storme of wind & rain, & that but short. This 5 m. 6 & 7 dayes, it pleased the Lord, after a great & threatning drought, to send a plentifull, sober & soaking rain, that sweetly refreshed the earth & revived its dying product."

    In Reply to: Re: BISHOP - Lee Cty, VA by Nancy Werner of 6832

    Hi Nancy: This might be long and after the fact BUT I think I know this line of Bishops...I believe they are of the line of Jonathan Bishop b June 26,1749, NY, d 6 July 1831 and Margaret Lewis b (abt) 1743, d. 7 Nov. 1820 . St. Clairs Bottom, Washington Cty. Va.(both died there) Their children were John Bishop, b 20 Nov. 1774, Joseph Bishop, b. 1776, Levi Bishop, b. 4 Jan.1777, Noah Bishop b.10 Dec.1779, Jonathan Bishop b (aft.)1780, Thomas Bishop b. 1882, Mary Bishop(after)1780 AND William Bishop b. 1788...All Children were born at St. Clairs Bottom, Washington Cty.,Va. MARGARET LEWIS BISHOP was the daughter of WILLIAM LEWIS d.1784 in Washington Cty., and remembered Margaret in his will with personal property, which indicates that she and Jonathan Bishop must have lived nearby to receive same...If this rings a bell...Do let me know...Hopes this helps, Regards...Dee Elledge
