Elizabeth Pogue/William Bishop-Wash CoVa
I have a William Bishop who married an Elizabeth Pogue in Washington Co., Va ca 1808/1812 (don't have exact dates in front ofme at the moment).I am trying to determine who this Elizabeth Pogue is and which William Bishop she was married to.
One source says William W. Bishop, who was the son of John Bishop and Elizabeth Babb who settled in Duffield, VA. in the late 1790s.Another source says thier William Bishop, who was descended from the English Bishops in that same area.
There are other rumors in my Bishop family that says that William Bishop's wife was Indian.If this is true, and Elizabeth Pogue was indeed his wife, then, I guess that would make Elizabeth Pouge at least part Indian.
William Bishop had 3 children:William W. Jr., George W., & Sarah.He then married again in 1925 to a Frances Walling, and they had 3 more children:Elias F.; Mary Ann; & Letticia.Several of my family members do have strong Indian features, so believe there was some Indian blood there somewhere.
If anyone can shed any light on this marriage, I would appreciate it if they would let me know.Please e-mail me direct, as I don't check this board that often.
