Joel was the son of Reuben Bishop and Anna Wright Bishop. He enlisted in 1777, and served three years as a private in the Connecticut militia.
Joel married Phebe Avery, daughter of Richard, 26 Aug 1784. Joel and Phebe spent much of their life in Rose, Wayne Co., NY.
From "Rose Neighborhood Sketches" by Alfred S. Roe:
To this place, the first Joel Bishop brought his sons and daughters, at any rate those who were not old enough to make homes of their own. He was an old Revolutionary soldiew, born in Guilford, Conn., Oct. 2, 1757, but coming hither from Charleston, Montgomery County, where he had already essayed a pioneer's life.
He prospected in the winter of 1810-11, and in the spring his oldest son, Chauncey, and son-in-law, John Burns, came through afoot and began work. Burns was on lot 132, and Chauncey built a log house just where Londrigan's mansion is. The family followed in sections, but all were here in March, 1812.
Here he lived for many years until a desire to be with his sons, Elijah and Reuben, prompted him to go to Ohio, where he and his wife, Phoebe Avery, died in Havana, Huron Co. Their family was a large one, so large that the largest modern house, with our notions of comfort, would not hold the young Bishops. Four sons and nine daughters lived to have homes of their own and to add lustre to the family name.
Joel Bishop was the sixth in descent from John Bishop, who, in 1639, settled in Guilford, Conn. During the Revolution he was for a time a prisoner of war in New York City. He never had any love for a Redcoat. In 1837, when 80 years old, he went to the Wilderness for the fourth time. He died at the age of 84 years.
