Ellis/Bishop Unions in Sussex, VA - mid 1800's
Found these Ellis/Bishop marriages in Sussex Courthouse records:
Emmaline Agnes Bishop m. George Washington Ellis in 1847
Roberta J. R. Bishop m. John T. Ellis in 1862
Sarah A. Bishop m. Chastella F. Ellis in 1866
I'm interested in knowing the names of Emmaline's parents as my gggrandfather, Joseph A. Bishop (b. 1836), lived with her and George Ellis per the 1860 census.Was she an aunt? Sister?Chastella Ellis is George and Emmaline's son who married a Bishop widow, Sarah A. E. Johnson Bishop.Don't know who Roberta Bishop is or who her family is but John T. is the brother of George Washington Ellis.Emmaline and husband (George) and son and daughter-in-law (Chastella & Sarah) are all buried in old section of Waverly cemetery in Sussex, VA.Would love to know more about these Bishop girls, especially Emmaline.Please e-mail me at [email protected].
