Misc. Notes
Mary Bishop was born on 28 September 1652 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA.1 She was the daughter of John Bishop Jr. and Susannah Goldham. She married John Hodgkin at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, on 4 April 1670.2,3 She married Isaac Johnson at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, on 16 July 1682.4 She married Unknown Field at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, in 1687.5 Mary Bishop died on 1 November 1703 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, at age 51.
The marriage was performed by William Leete and is recorded in Guilford Vital Records. Based on the date that John became a Freeman, he must have been at least 37 years old at the time of his marriage. This seems an unusually old age for a first marriage, but no earlier marriage has been found.
Mary Bishop was the daughter of John Bishop Jr. and Susannah Golham. Her fraternal grandfather, John Bishop, was a signer of the Guilford Covenant and her maternal grandfather, Henry Goldham, may also have been a signer, as he was known to be in Guilford in 1648, but due to "defects in the records" some signers are not known. After the death of John, Mary married twice again. First, on 16 July 1682 to Isaac Johnson and second, after the death of Isaac to Mr. Field on 28 October 1687. Records show widow "Marah" giving John's land to sons Joseph and Thomas.6
