Disputed Lineages

The conventional interpretation of the three men named Edward Bishop, living in Salem during the period of the Witch Trials, has been that they are related as Father (Edward Bishop I/Senior), Son (Edward Bishop II or Junior/Sawyer), and Grandson (Edward Bishop III/Junior). David Greene disputes this and offers that the Grandson is actually the Son of Edward Senior, and that Edward the Sawyer is not related (at least not in a lineal part of the descendancy).

    "Edward and Sarah (Wildes) Bishop and her stepmother, Sarah (Averill) Wildes, were arrested for witchcraft and imprisoned in April 1692. Three months later Wildes would be convicted and executed, and in September Sarah Bishop's sister, Phoebe (Wildes) Day, was also arrested."
    The Bishops escaped from the Boston jail 37 weeks later; for which their personal property was seized by Sheriff George Corwin. Son Samuel Bishop pad £10 to recover some of their possession, but most of their estate was never recovered, leaving them with little to support their family. They moved to Rehoboth, Massachusetts, a more liberal community, in 1703.
