Born about 1607 (deposed aged 75 years on 28 November 1682). Currier & innholder who came to Massachusetts Bay in 1634 & settled in Boston MA. Died between 10 Jun 1687 (date of will) & 15 Jun 1687 (probate of will).
Married by about 1634, Alice ____. Alice was living on 28 Nov 1682, but was not mentioned in the 1687 will of her husband.
On 6 Nov 1665, Nathaniel Bishop deposed to the accuracy of the inventory of the estate of "the late Henry Bishop, his brother"; Property from Henry's estate was found in New Havan & Barbados, as well as Boston. Among the interesting inventory items were "3 months service done by me for my sister [pounds] 12," & "charges for one year's diet and a suit of clothes for the child my brother took, [pounds]8 10s." "Sister" was no doubt Henry's widow, Elizabeth, who died shortly after Henry, but we are not told the identity of the child.
A 3rd brother was James Bishop of New Haven. On 6 Feb 1648/9, when he was in legal difficulties in New Haven, "Henry Bishop was asked if he had any witness, he produced his brother James Bishop."
Jacobus further suggests that Nathaniel, Henry & James were brothers "perhaps also of Thomas (d. 1671/2) of Ipswich, Mass."
