Notes

Individual:
About the daughters (Rachel, Elsie and Nancy), Uncle Monroe Bishop ( Quoted by Prof. Jim Brown) said they all went to Jackson County. He never saw but one - who came to take his grandmother (Polly Abner Bishop) back with her.
Family story is Mary Bishop (Sam s Polly) listed in the 1860 census of Clay; that after she gave her
soul to the devil, she went completely mad. It was said she even pulled out her tongue.
William’s grandson and the son of James (called Hammerhead) named Isaac (called Ike) talked about her and said after his parents moved to Jackson County KY he found her grave there.
