In the order of their births they named their children: Issac, David, Twins (Susanna & Samuel), Catherine, Sally/Sarah, Emanuel and Abraham Bish.
Peter is presumed to be buried by the side of his wife Betsy but the only grave marker in the Bish Family Cemetery that could be found in 2011 was for his spouse Pheby/Phebe "Betsy" Bish.
Bish Family Cemetery (2011):
This is a small secluded family cemetery left alone for over a 100 years. It was located on the hill behind their family barn. Many stones and slabs and encircled by small trees and stone barrier. It is on private property, inaccessible to the public. It is now located in woods and traveled by cows.
The gravestone for Phebe is the only stone in the cemetery that has name on it. Some old records for her gravestone inscription say she died in 1840 at the age of 65 years. This would place her birth during 1775.
