         This list of descendants of John Bishop and connections who served in the World War is placed her in the order in which it was received by the compilers.  It is not as complete a list as we would like to have, but it seemed difficult to get more.  We have endeavored to follow strictly the description of service as given us and we hope that these ex-soldiers and their friends will find pleasureand profit now and in future years in the possession of these war records.  The writer was a soldier in teh war of 161-1865 and realizes the value of records of soldier service.

HISTORIES OF FAMILIES WHO MARRIED BISHOPS

       BARTLETT
          The first of the family was Adam Bartelot, an esquire in the retinue of Brian, a Knight, and they came into England with William, the Conqueror and fought at Hastings.  "The Bartlett Family" in England and America by  Levi Bartlett, 1875.''  
         All persons in this country named Bartlett, are without doubt of Norman ancestry.  There is a large estate at Stopham, Sussex, England, which has been in possession of the Bartletts for hundreds of years.  From junior members of the family in former times, came the first settlers on these American shores.  The ancestral mansion was built in 1309 and is a noble building of stone.  Here the Bartletts have lived since the Norman invasion.
        The original coat of arms was three open, left hand, falconer's gloves with golden tassels about the wrist. In the 15th century, a swan was added, and granted, by the Garter King of Arms.
        There were two early settlers by the name of Bartlett.  George and William within teh original limits of Guilford, but no relation has been discovered between them.

         Deacon George Bartlett was at Guilford soon after its settlement.  His name appears as a witness in the first Court record August 14, 1645, and frequently thereafter.  In May, 1648, he was given the "Freeman's Charge".  On June 5, 1662, he succeeded Gov. Wm. Leete as Secretary of the Plantation and at the same time became one of the Deputies to hold the Particular Courts.
