Jane Bishop1

b. circa 17 September 1817, d. 15 January 1902
FatherWilliam Bishop2 b. abt 1794, d. 23 Jan 1864
MotherSusannah Hutton3 b. 14 Feb 1793, d. 16 Feb 1861
Birth-Calccirca 17 Sep 1817 Jane Bishop was born in Virginia circa 17 Sep 1817 based on the age recorded on her headstone.4,5 
Marriage She married Washington Hutton, son of Dickson Hutton and Jane Jamison.4 
  The were first cousins, once removed. 
Migration  Jane's parents left Virginia prior to 1840 and settled in Boone Co., Indiana. It appears Washington and Jane either accompanied or followed them, settling briefly in neighboring Marion County.6  
Land-Sell29 Sep 1841  By the fall of 1841 Washington and Jane had settled in Boone County as well. On Sept. 29th they sold Arthur Hutton their interest in the Virginia land Dickson Hutton left Washington in his will.7 
Land-Sell2 Oct 1841  A few days later they sold their 1/8th interest in another tract of land in Washington County, Virginia to John and Thomas McCrady.8 [McCready] 
Cens-185030 Sep 1850  In the early fall of 1850 Washington and Jane were enumerated farming in Boone Co. on the first federal census to enumerate all members of a household. Washington owned land worth $1,500; he was 36. Jane was 33. Also listed were William (14), John D. (7), Sarah J. (5), Eliza A. (3) and James W. (1/12).9 
  The 1840 census suggests another son had been born between William and John. 
Cens-Sum  Later census entries suggest Washington and Jane added 2 additional sons to the family following 1850: Francis (abt 1860) and Hugh Mansfield (abt 1863). The 1880 census identifies Mansfield, then 17, as Washington's son.10,11,12 
Widowed8 Dec 1888  Washington died in early Dec. 1888. 
Cens-19002 Jun 1900  Jane then lived with her oldest son, William, and his family. In 1900 the census enumerator asked adult women how many children they had given birth to and how many were living. Jane's entry states that she was the mother of 5 children, all of whom were living. This conflicts with the number of children living with she and Washington on earlier census records.13 
Death15 Jan 1902 Jane died on 15 Jan 1902.4,5 
Burial Jane was buried at Hutton Memorial Cemetery in Boone County, Indiana.4,5
