    It is not known when or precisely where William Bickerstaff was born, but records in the University College, Nottingham, England, state that 'Bickerstaff, formerly "Bickerstath" (whence Bickersteth) is a Lancashire Parish near Ormskirk in England.' He sailed to America in 1720, and his first son was born at sea.
    The date of death is unknown; however, his will was proved in 1803 in West Virginia Archives. He was married to Nancy Pope, about whom nothing is known.

    What is so interesting is that the lineage of William b. 1720 married to Rebecca (Friend) is pretty clear as the Biggerstaff in West Virginia and his will proved 1803. His parents were William and Nancy Pope. But here is the confusion..the Irish line claims William and Nancy Pope also. They also claim the same William
