General Notes: Husband - Philip Bishop


He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and later moved to Woodsboro, Maryland, where he farmed. He then returned to Pennsylvania and settled in Littlestown, where he became a leading citizen. He was the first member of the United Brethren, and built the first church of that denomination in Adams County, and the second church outside the city of Baltimore. He erected the church with his own funds, and was an official member and pillar all his life. In political matters he was identified with the old Jeffersonian Democrats, and filled many township offices.
He died at the age of seventy-seven years.
