Thank you very much for responding. We had not seen the tax records you referred to from John Alcock's book "Fauquier Families 1759-1799" but we have seen the marriage bonds for Daniel and James.

Yes, Daniel and James were brothers, the two oldest sons of John Bishop II and Mary Ann Claypool. John and Mary lived circa 1784-1825 on a 300 acre farm bounded by Goose Creek on the west and the road passing in front of the home of James Lake on the east. The Lake house is still standing on Lake Farm Road not far from Atoka.

We are in the process of compiling information about the descendents of John Bishop II. Dr. Samuel Bishop published such a book in 1898 and we are trying to build on that work and fill in the gaps.

Any additional information that you can provide about any Bishops that lived in Fauquier Co. VA would be appreciated.
