Name: Peter Bishop Born: c1780 Place: PA or VA Died: 1850+ Buried:
Euphemia's father's name was Peter Bishop (Ennie's [sic] grandmother) but he doesn't know if the grandmother had any brothers or sisters or her mother's maiden name. A daughter of John Ashenhurst, Oliver's brother, married a Valentine Bishop. Her name was Nancy and she would have been Euphemia's niece. He doesn't know whether Valentine was any relation to Euphemia or not.1 The relationships stated in the entire "history" are rather confusing but the above paragraph would parse out in this manner:
Peter Bishop
|---------------| |
John Ashenhurst Oliver m Euphemia
| Ashenhurst
Nancy m
Valentine Bishop
James G Ashenhurst states in a letter I received from him, dated 27 Aug 1982: I recall soneone [sic] saying that [Euphemia] had a brother, James, who was a United Presbyterian minister, or maybe it was missionary. And an online article entitled "The McManis Family in Adams County, Ohio" [link] by Doris Lucille McManis Camden states, The second wife of Joseph McManis was Mary Bishop, also known as Polly, daughter of Peter Bishop. The marriage took place on March 21, 1839 or 1840. Her death occurred in June of 1845. There were three children born to this marriage.2 With that we have the possibility of four of Peter's children being identified: Euphemia (1803-1884), Mary (-1845), James and Valentine. The assertion that Euphemia was born in Brown county cannot be technically correct as that county was not formed until 1818, its parent counties being Adams and Clermont counties, both of which were forged from Hamilton county, 1797 and 1800, respectively. This map is said to represent the Ohio county boundaries of 1803. Byrd township, Peter's home, appears to have been in Adams county from 1800-1818. Peter Bishop in OhioThe following census records give a strong indication of Peter's birth year. According to the 1880 census entry for his daughter, Euphemia Ashenhurst, both parents were born in Virginia. However, the 1850 census for him clearly states he was born in Pennsylvania. Whether it be Virginia or Pennsylvania, he probably would not have been related to the Bishops in Perry township, Brown county, Ohio as their roots are believed to have been in Vermont and England. Peter Bishop appears on the following census for 1820. If we presume that he is the eldest male listed (45+) he'd have been born in 1775 or earlier. However, that man could have been any elder male living with the family. My first guess is that Peter was the younger male, 26-45. If the reading is accurate, his wife was either absent from the household or deceased.

The 1830 census for Byrd township lists two Bishops, with Peter being 40-50, placing his birth in the 1780s.

On the 1840 census, Peter appears as aged between 60-70. This would put his birth in the 1770s. If these two readings are accurate, he may have been sitting on the cusp of the decade, making his birth year right around 1780.

I believe this is the remnants of the Valentine Bishop family, Nancy Bishop being his widow and daughter of John Ashenhurst (see descendancy chart above) and Elizabeth Allen being his daughter, Malinda E Bishop. I've been unable to trace these families any further.

Bishops in VirginiaThere are no indications from where in Virginia, if Virginia at all, that Peter came from. If we assume that the eldest male found in his household in 1820 was his father we might guess that father and son went to Ohio together. There are two Peter Bishops found on the 1810 census for Wythe county, Virginia. Again, it is merely speculation that we are looking at the correct entries but, from the sparse data known to date, it fits.

No Bishops are found on the 1820 census for Wythe county. A google search finds only two mentions of a Peter Bishop in Wythe county.
Catherine Shaffer is found on the 1880 census for Black Lick, Wythe county, Virginia with her son Joseph Shaffer, 55. Catherine is listed as 101 years old, born in Virginia and both parents born in Virginia. Bishops in PennsylvaniaPeter Bishop would certainly have been a child in 1790. Since I have no real clue as to where he resided I'm limiting this to the name Peter. After all, there's always the oustide chance that his father was also a Peter. That's not good genealogy but does reel in the scope of the research until better clues are found. 1790 > PENNSYLVANIA > DAUPHIN > REMAINDER OF CO Series: M637 Roll: 8 Page: 180 Peter Bishop 1 1 2 1790 > PENNSYLVANIA > LANCASTER > MT JOY TWP Series: M637 Roll: 8 Page: 223 William Bishop 3 0 3 John Bishop 1 4 4 Godlieb Bishop 1 1 4 Peter Bishop 1 2 3 Philip Bishop 2 1 6 1790 > PENNSYLVANIA > YORK > BERWICK, CUMBERLAN Series: M637 Roll: 9 Page: 461 Peter Bishop 1 2 5 Two Peter Bishops are found on the 1800 census for Pennsylvania.

Eunie (in reference to "Grandma McDowell") is mentioned throughout. I know that she was very involved with genealogy at some point. Could it be that these letters had been in her possession? 2Camden lists their children as being Alexander McManis (1841-1932), Francis Joseph McManis (1845-1889) and Elizabeth McManis who died in childhood. Note that an article in The History of Brown County, Ohio (1883) for Mary's stepson, Samuel McManis, states that she and Joseph married in 1840.[link]. Her son Alexander McManis is found on the 1900 census for Riley co KS (page 115) stating that both parents were born in PA. 3Jacob Sheffer was born 9 Sep 1783, Virginia, died 11 Apr 1874. Parents were Daniel Sheffer and Ann Hudlow. 4http://www.newrivernotes.com/va/wyth1793.htm

I don't have perfect proof that Euphemia Ashenhurst was the daughter of
Peter Bishop. The best indication is this statement from an undated
Ashenhurst history by an unnamed author:
Finally, the 1850 census entry
confirms that Peter was probably born in 1780. And we see that he moved
across the county line into Adams county.
