Primary locations are Lee County, VA, Hancock County, TN and secondary locations are Harrison County and Nodaway County in MO
(Please note that the Hancock Co. VA is spelled in the Bishop Family Record as Handcock Co. TN.)
Abstracted from a copy of the original entries with the punctuation and spelling as written. This is a handwritten book about 4 inches wide and 8 inches tall by one of Elijah Bishop’s (the first entry) descendants. The writing is hard to read in a few areas that I note in Italics.
There is also an index of the names listed at end of this document. All names and dates were entered and proofed by me on 1 October 1999.
