Hannah Sluyter Bishop's life from the public record:
Transcribed from “Annals of Castle Creek”: “Daniel Bishop, of Suffield, Conn., born 1773, married Katie Kent, about 1797, by whom he had three children. He is said to have been living on the Franklin French farm at Glen Castle, as early as 1805. His wife died in 1807. The place was owned by Lucy Veets [sic Viets], a sister of Hannah Sluyter, whose family lived at or near Binghamton (Chenango Point.) Daniel Bishop and Hannah Sluyter were married Sept. 18, 1808, and they moved to the Creek, or “Hollow.” The date of his move to New York as 1805 is confirmed by the birth place of his daughters, Polly, Sally and Betsey. The first two, born in 1799 and 1804, were born in Connecticut while Betsey, born in 1806, was born in New York.
In the 1810 US Federal Census, Daniel Bishop is living in Chenango, Broome, New York. His household consists of one male between 26 and 44 (himself), three females under 10 (Sally and Betsey who are children of his first wife Catherine, and Esther, Hannah’s daughter), one between 10 and 15 (Polly, Catherine’s daughter), and one between 16 and 25 (his second wife, Hannah).
From History of Broome County "In regard to the early settlement, the following letter, dated St. Clair city [sic], Michigan, July 31st, 1879, written by Josiah West to his niece, Mrs. Harriet N. Boardman, will give us much important information. He says: ' We came to Castle Creek in the year 1814, on the 1st day of March... Mr. Bishop lived in a 12 X 14 log house, about one-half way between the Phelps house and where Ira French lived when I left. There were five or six log houses between there and the river road. There was not a framed house or barn the whole length of Castle Creek'."
In the 1820 US Federal Census, Daniel is still living in Chenango, Broome, New York. His household now consists of one male under 10 (Lewis Daniel), one male over 45 (himself), four females under 10 (Esther, Catherine, Abigail and Margaret), one between 10 and 16 (Sally or Betsey), and one between 26 and 45 (his wife, Hannah). He is a farmer.
In the 1830 Federal Census for Chenango, Broome, New York, Daniel’s household consists of one male between 5 and 10 (Henry Lewis), one between 10 and 15 (Lewis Daniel), one between 50 and 60 (himself), one female under 5 (Sabrina), one between 5 and 10 (Margaret) one between 10 and 15 (Abigail), one between 15 and 20 (Esther) and one between 40 and 50 (his wife, Hannah).
In the 1840 US Federal Census for Chenango, Broome, New York, Daniel is living next door to his son, Lewis. In his household is one male from 15-20 (Henry), one male from 60-70 (himself), one female from 10-15 (Sabrina), one female from 20-30 (Abigail), and one female from 50 to 60 (his wife, Hannah).
In the 1850 US Federal Census for Chenango, Broome, New York, Daniel (age 72 and a farmer, born in Massachusetts [sic]) is living between his son, Lewis Daniel and his daughter, Martha, and son-in-law, Chauncy Livermore. In his household are his wife Hannah (age 64), his daughter, Abigail (age 37, name misspelled Abagail), and his son, Henry (age 26 and a farmer).
In the 1855 New York State census for Chenango, Broome County, Daniel and his family are #183. He is 82 year old farmer, born in Massachusetts [sic], lived in Broome County for 50 years, which again confirms his arrival in 1805. In his household are his second wife, Hannah, age 68, born in Dutchess County, lived in Broom County for 60 years. [This is not quite true as Broome County was not split off from Tioga County until 28 Mar 1806, but it does imply that she has been living in the same area since 1795.] Only two children are still at home, Abigail, age 42 and born in Broome County and Henry age 31 also born in Broome County.
In the 1860 US Federal Census for Chenango, Broome, New York, Hannah [Sluyter] Bishop (age 73 and a widow) and her daughter Abigail (age 47) are living with her son Henry, apparently on the land inherited from his father, Daniel. All of them were born in New York.
When Henry sold the Chenango property and moved to New Jersey, his mother moved with him as Hannah Sluyter Bishop died on 26 Oct 1865 in Vineland, Cumberland, New Jersey, and was buried in the Siloam Cemetery there.
