Edward Bishop III

Edward Bishop [ [http://etext.virginia.edu/etcbin/ot2www-salemname?name=Edward+Bishop+Jr.&query=bisedw2 Salem Witchcraft Pages on Edward Bishop, "Jr."] ] and his wife Sarah were involved in the witchcraft hysteria of 1692. Both Edward Bishop and his wife Sarah Bishop were arrested and jailed in 1692 on accusation of witchcraft.

Family

His grandfather, Edward Bishop Sr., settled in Salem MA c 1639.

He was born in the area of Salem, Massachusetts to Edward Bishop Jr. (the sawyer) and his first wife Hannah Raymond. He was baptized in Salem, Massachusetts, April 23 1648. [ A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England. James Savage, Boston MA: Little Brown & Co., 1860. v 1 pp 183. ]

He married Sarah, daughter of William Wildes, of Ipswich. [ Salem Witchcraft with an Account of Salem Village and a History of Opinions on Witchcraft and Kindred Subjects. Charles W. Upham, NY: Frederick Unger Pub Co, 1978, 2 VV, v 2 p 135. ]

His father's second wife Bridget Playfer Wassalbe Oliver Bishop was arrested and became the first victim hanged during the trials.

In his Genealogical Dictionary, James Savage may have confused him and his father, this was not the only one of the old sources to be confused about the 3 or 4 Edward Bishops (3 of whom were father son and grandson) all of whom were living in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692.

Involvement in the Salem witchcraft trials

Edward Bishop and his wife Sarah were able to escape from prison [ Salem Witchcraft with an account of Salem Village and a history of opinions on Witchcraft and Kindred Subjects. Charles W. Upham, NY: Frederick Unger Pub Co, 1978, 2 VV, v 2 p 136. ] after which they went into hiding in Rehoboth. His property was confiscated. Later his son Samuel redeemed his property.
