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

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:
