Excerpt from The Genealogy of Samuel and John Bishop Brothers In 1634 settlers from Salem founded Ipswich, in the colony of Massachusetts Bay, and the date of Thomas Bishop, as a freeman of Ipswich, is 1636 in the records. The family history, from Thomas Bishop to Earl Bishop, my grandfather, and other descendants, writes his grandson, George Bishop Smith, needs details that may be supplied by reference to other than public records, from which are derived the facts herein compiled. Thomas Bishop was a man of affairs, and at his death, Feb. 7, 1671, his estate probated above a large fortune for that day. In his active life he was much called upon to serve his town in local office, and at the General Court of the colony in 1666; and there is evidence that his name was known and respected in all the then neighboring colonies. He was the founder Of the Ipswich family of Bishops, other families of the name deriving descent from his brothers, Nathaniel and Henry, who were among the first settlers and businessmen of Boston. Margaret, widow of Thomas, survived him, and their sons, named in the will, were Samuel, John, Thomas, Job, -and Nathaniel. Of later dates than the death of Thomas, the records show that Samuel Bishop of Ipswich served (1676) in the King Philip war; and that in 1678 Samuel Bishop had commonage at Ipswic'h, whatever that may mean. Records also show that in 1685 Capt. Thomas Bishop of Ipswich suffered loss of a ship sailing to the Barbadoes.
