• Alfred Allen Bishop, son of Alfred A. Bishop and Miss Greenstreet married Delilah Morgan Norris on June 14, 1827 in Carter Co, TN. There are researchers who believe her father is John Morgan.

1830 Sangamon Co, IL 1 male 20-30 Alfred (b. 1801 age 29) 1 female Mary (b. 1829 age 1) 1 female 20-30 Delilah (b. 1804 age 26)

The next census shows Alfred and Delilah joined up with a group of pioneers, some of whom had been in Sangamon Co, IL and others who had migrated from Warren Co, KY and St. Louis Co, MO. One of the group, Rev. Jonathan Burleson and future father in law to one of Alfred's daughters was a Cumberland Presbyterian minister.

By 1850 Alfred appears in a group of settlers from Missouri in Fayette Co, TX. We assume he arrived before April 19, 1849 because his daughter married on that date in Fayette Co.
