I would love to communicate with any cousins who may be researching this line.
Interested in your information on Bishop. I am trying to find out information on Catherine Bishop m.
James Franklin Loveland in Fulton Co., IL 7/22/1876. There is a tombstone next to his with her name on it, but I show no death records or divorce, etc. I do show in the 1880 Census that a gdaughter Sarah C. Loveland 4 years old living with James Franklin Loveland at his mothers home. Eleonor Loveland. I do not know who the mother of Sarah C. would be. Maybe we have some connections.
