Jehilah "Hila" Thorpe (Bishop) managed by Jadra (Geni Curator) and Pamela Bigelow Johnson
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/121986342/jehilah-thorp
dau. of James & Elizabeth (Clinton) Bishop.
md. New Haven, Ct., 2 Mar. 1757 David Thorp

I merged: https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=84926486090
Daughter of Elizabeth Bishop (Clinton) vs
Daughter of James Bishop and Elizabeth Bishop (Perkins)

The dates for the two Elizabeths are EXACTLY the same and each is married to a James Bishop so I am thinking the two men have been conflated/mismerged.
There are THOUSANDS of trees at Ancestry for them.
They are fixable but likely NOT without help of a curator
There are two daughters named Abigail attached and the one marrying Sperry appears to be daughter of Bishop and Clinton.
I will work from bottom but need help at this top of the tree level, please.
TIA

Erica Howton I think these are at least two but maybe three men

Oh--- I see; no, I added the link one time too many or else they've been merged--- I stepped off and am just checking messages right now----
I will not be able to work on them right away and wanted to bring attention.
I have a memorial service to attend tomorrow so will be out of pocket

Jehilah "Hila" Thorpe is incorrectly described at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/121986342/jehilah-thorp as “ dau. of James & Elizabeth (Clinton) Bishop.”

She was the daughter of Elizabeth Perkins and James Bishop. See the children listed at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/143293374/james-bishop, which cites Jacobus, TAG. I’ve uploaded the article:

Jacobus, Donald Lines. “Two James Bishops of New Haven, Conn.”, The American Genealogist (1949) Vol. 25, Page 206-208: Includes corrections to the author's "Families of Ancient New Haven". < AmericanAncestors >
