I am not related, just sharing because I enjoy connecting families.

If I were you, I would go to the library and look at the census records on HERITAGE QUEST. You may be able to view the census records for Auburn, Montgomery VA to see the Bishops who lived close to each other. They are probably related.

Bishop, Mary 45
Jacob 47 (but I think this is 17 as the 4 looks like "1")
Luster Emaline 18
