Descendants of Edward & Rebecca Bishop
Sussex County, DE and Worcester County, MD border each other. Not only does their proximity result in confusion for the genealogist, it apparently confused some residents. In one census a person would claim a Maryland birth, only to claim Delaware in the next. Therefore, birth places for the Bishops - and their spouses and children - should be taken with a grain of salt. In addition, many of the relationships below were cobbled together by means of birth, marriage, and death records, and censuses. Verify, verify, verify.
