Amos B. Bishop (probably Daniel, Bettey) was born about 1782 in Massachusetts US7. He was probably the Amos Bishop of Richmond, Chittenden
County, Vermont who married Rhoda Hildreth of Salisbury, Vermont on October 29,
1807 in Salisbury in a ceremony officiated by R. Saxton, Justice of the Peace VE12. At some point after Rhoda’s death in
1825 but before 1828, Amos Bishop married Lucy NE36, who was probably Lucy Hildreth, the widowed elder sister of
Rhoda Hildreth. Lucy Hildreth was born to parents Abel and Hulda
Hildreth in Ashby, Massachusetts on March 27, 1784 MA26. She was a resident of Salisbury, Vermont when she married
Chester Merrifield on August 5, 1804 in Salisbury, Vermont, but Chester “Maryfield” died at age forty on March 1, 1822 and was
buried in Richmond Village Cemetery in Richmond, Chittenden County, Vermont VE12. Lucy Bishop was likely the mother of Jane R. Arnold, who was born about 1828 in Vermont UN10. Amos was not enumerated in the 1850 US Census because his
death occurred before the census, but Lucy Bishop was enumerated in Norfolk,
Saint Lawrence County with her daughter and son-in-law, Jane R. Arnold and Saxton Arnold UN10.
Amos
B. Bishop was appointed as the Postmaster for Richmond, Chittenden County,
Vermont on December 16, 1835 US16.
Giles J. Hall and Nathaniel F. Beals swore before
Benjamin G. Baldwin, Surrogate of the St. Lawrence Surrogate Court on September
16, 1850 that they had been well acquainted with Amos B. Bishop and were
witnesses to his last will and testament NE36. His
probate record stated NE36:

After an illness of
twenty-eight days, Amos B. Bishop died at age sixty-eight in April 1850 in
Norfolk, St. Lawrence County, New York US7. His
gravestone, located in Raymondville Cemetery in Raymondville, St. Lawrence
County, New York, stated that Amos Bishop “died Apr. 15. 1850, in his 69 yr”; a photo of the gravestone can be located on the Find a Grave website.
·
1810
US Census: lived in Richmond, Chittenden County, Vermont with one boy and one girl
under age ten and one young man and one young woman whose ages were between
sixteen and twenty-five. As the head of the household, his age was between
twenty-six and forty-four.
·
1820
US Census: lived in Richmond, Chittenden County, Vermont with one girl and
three boys under age ten, one girl and one boy between ten and fifteen, one young
woman and one young man between sixteen and twenty-five, and one woman and one
man between twenty-six and forty-four. Two people were engaged in the
manufacturing industry.
Rhoda Hildreth (Abel, Huldah) was born on
September 27, 1786 in Ashby, Middlesex County, Massachusetts to Abel and Hulda Hildreth MA26. It
is very probable that she was the mother of Lucy Whitcomb, Myron P. Bishop,
Sarah Whipple, Albro E. Bishop, Amos B. Bishop, Jr.,
Leonard S. Bishop, and Homer H. Bishop, who were all named in the will of Amos
Bishop NE36.
Lucy
Bishop was born on August 3, 1808 in Vermont WH5. Myron
P. Bishop was born about 1810 in Vermont UN10, UN11, UN12. Myron Bishop of Starksboro, Vermont married Clemma
Root on October 13, 1834 in Charlotte, Chittenden County, Vermont VE12. He resided in Norfolk, Saint Lawrence County, Vermont in 1850,
1860, and 1870. In 1850 he was enumerated with Clemma,
age thirty-seven, Marion, age fourteen, Noble, age eleven, Francis, age seven,
and Samuel, who was seven months old UN10.
Myron P. Bishop was called a farmer in the 1860 US Census, and his household
included Clemma (forty-seven), Marion, Nobble [sic], Fances E. [sic],
and Lucy, who was then seventy-six UN11,
but in 1870 he lived with Jennie, age fifty-seven UN12. The name “Jennie” was likely an error, as Clemma
died on October 21, 1890, according to Myron and Clemma’s
shared gravestone in Raymondville Cemetery in Raymondville, Saint Lawrence
County. A photo of this gravestone may be viewed on the Find a Grave website. Myron died on June 13, 1891 in St. Lawrence
County, New York NE36.
Sarah Bishop may
have been born about 1812 UN10 and
may have married Samuel Whipple; Samuel and Sarah Whipple were enumerated in
1850 in Crete, Will County, Illinois with Achsah A.
(ag sixteen), Sarah E. (age nine), and Irene Whipple (sixty-five) UN10. This census record indicated that both Samuel and Sarah were
born in Vermont, and Sarah was born about 1812 UN10.
Albro E. Bishop was
born about 1814 UN10, CO33 or
1815 UN11, UN12, UN13 in New York UN10, UN11, Burlington, Vermont CO33, or Vermont UN12, UN13. A.E.
Bishop (1814) lived in Chicago Ward 3, Cook County, Illinois in 1850; he was a
clerk whose stated birthplace was New York UN10. He
was likely married by 1860 when he lived in Chicago Ward 5 with Caroline, age
fifty, Mary A. Cornell, age eighteen, Anna Bishop, age five, Homer Bishop, age
thirty-nine, and a servant named Mary Senell UN11. He was called a wagon manufacturer in 1860, 1870, and 1880 UN11, UN12, UN13. He was enumerated as Albro E. Bishop in Chicago Ward 10 in 1870 with Caroline
Bishop, William Holmes, Anna W. Bishop, and Christina Johnson UN12. In 1880 in the 97th
Enumeration District of Chicago, Illinois, A.E. Bishop lived with his wife,
Caroline (age seventy), Rachel Hammond, his sister-in-law, William Holmes, his
nephew-in-law, and five additional people who did not appear to be related to
him UN13. Albro E. Bishop, a wagon
manufacturer, died at age sixty-six on November 15, 1880 in Chicago, Cook
County, Illinois, and was buried at Graceland Cemetery CO33.
Amos B. Bishop was
born in August 1816 UN14 or about
1816 UN10, UN11 or 1817 UN13 in Vermont UN10, UN11, UN13, UN14. He
was enumerated in 1850 in Norfolk, St. Lawrence County, New York with Betsey
Bishop, age thirty-six and born in England, Sarah E. Bishop, age three, and
Nancy Stork, age twelve UN10.
Betsey was forty-six and Sarah E. was twelve in 1860 UN11. Betsey probably died between 1860 and 1880, as she was not
enumerated with Amos in the 1880 US Census UN13.
Amos lived with his daughter, Sarah E. Bishop, in 1880 in Raymondville, St. Lawrence
County, New York where he worked in a butter tub factory UN13. Amos and his daughter, Sarah, had relocated to Norfolk, St.
Lawrence County by 1900 UN14.
The gravestone for Amos B. Bishop and his wife, Betsey, is
located in Raymondville Cemetery in Raymondville, St. Lawrence County,
New York (which can be viewed on the Find
a Grave website). It states that Betsey was born in 1815 and died in 1865,
and Amos was born in 1816 and died in 1901.
Leonard S. Bishop was
born in December 1820 UN14 or
about 1820 UN11, UN12, 1821 UN10, or 1822 UN13 in
Vermont UN10, UN11, UN12, UN13, UN14. He resided in
Carroll Township, Carroll County, Illinois with Emeline W. Bishop in 1850, but
had moved to Nora Township, Jo Daviess County, Illinois by 1860 UN11, where he was enumerated for all successive federal censuses,
until and including the 1900 US Census UN14.
Emeline likely died between 1870 and 1879, because she was listed with him in
the 1870 census, but on October 29, 1879 Leonard S. Bishop, age fifty-eight of
Nora Township, Jo Daviess County, married Mary E. Walker of Raymondville, St.
Lawrence County, New York in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois CO34. The 1900 US Census indicated that he had been married to Mary
T. Bishop for fourteen years, indicating they married about 1886; their son, Albro E. Bishop was born in December 1886 UN14. Leonard appears to have been married three times, and his
second and third wives were both named “Mary”. His will, written on July 7,
1894 and recorded on June 23, 1908, mentioned his wife and son, Mary T. Bishop and Albro E. Bishop IL11.
Homer Bishop was
born about 1821 in New York UN11. He
resided in the household of A.E. Bishop in Chicago Ward 5, Cook County,
Illinois in 1860 UN11. He may have been
the Homer H. Bishop who married Mary Post on May 26, 1866 in Cook County,
Illinois IL7, and he may have been the Homer H. Bishop who died in Cook
County on January 5, 1868 CO32.
Rhoda,
the wife of Amos Bishop, died at age thirty-eight years, eight months, and
fifteen days on June 13, 1825 and was buried in Richmond Village Cemetery,
Richmond, Chittenden County, Vermont VE12. A
photo of her gravestone may be viewed on the Find a Grave website.
