A source says David Bishop, referred to as David Bishop I, came from England to Holland around 1759. Then he left Holland because his children were inter-marrying with the Dutch and settled in Georgia. He went from Georgia in ? to Jackson County, Mississippi and settled on the Chickasaha River. After that he moved to Waynesboro. He later moved near Westville in Simpson County, Mississippi.
David's widow and 16 year old son, David Bishop, II settled at what is known as the "Till Place" in L. B. Bush's field. (This information was copied from an old and faded hand written sheet done by Ellen Bishop Copeland.
