An American Family History

Mary Bishop

 

Mary Bishop was the daughter of David Bishop and Mary Alger born in 1683 in Woodbridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey.

Bonham and Related Family Lines lists her as Hezekiah Bonham's second wife. The author feels there is supporting evidence and included reference to a grave marker in Princeton.
