BISHOP
I am researching BISHOPS who lived in Lawrence Co.,Tn. in the 1840’s, 50’s, and 60’s. Alfred BISHOP was head of household in 1850 census. His wife was Permelia. They were both born in Tn. They had two sets of twin girls, two small boys, Alfred M. and Newton F., and a baby girl. Newton F. is my husband’s grandfather. In the 1860 census, “Milly” is head of household, the older girls are gone, except for Susanna who is married and living at home. The boys are 15 and 13, and there is an additional baby girl. I cannot find Alfred after the 1850 census. There is a Milly BISHOP indexed in the 1870 Giles Co. census. There are two Alfreds listed in the Database: Tennessee Census, 1810-91, in the 1840 census of Lawrence Co., on the same page. I feel that one is the father, and one the son, who would be Newton F.’s father. Newton F. served in Co. I (made up of volunteers from Giles Co., Tn.) of the 4th Tn. Mounted Infantry on the Union side during the Civil War. Afterwards he moved to Ky.
