Bishop Family Tree

Bishop Name Meaning: English: from Middle English biscop, Old English bisc(e)op ‘bishop’, which comes via Latin from Greek episkopos ‘overseer’. The Greek word was adopted early in the Christian era as a title for an overseer of a local community of Christians, and has yielded cognates in every European language.The word came to be applied as a surname for a variety of reasons, among them service in the household of a bishop, supposed resemblance in bearing or appearance to a bishop, and selection as the ‘boy bishop’ on St. Nicholas’s Day.

Maximilian Conner Revolutionary War Pension Application

Max's persion is number W 75. He also lables it 13,395 He describes 8 Spt 1832 Phebe 1 June 1840 #7149 lists all the children Rachel Deavors (Phebe's sister) makes a supporting declaration that she saw Phebe and Max marry.

When Maximilian applied for a pension in his old age, he gave a long account of his experience in the war.  Hugh Allen of Cocke County, TN typed up this from that pension application.

He related that he was born in Culpepper County, Virginia, Oct 14, 1762. His first experience as a soldier were none too happy. He tells that he was drafted and entered in the service of the  militia of South Carolina in the District of Ninety-Six in the year 1779 under the command of Col.  Williamson, marched to Augusta, from thence on to Savannah, but some distance below Augusta  we were met by the British and Tories, forced to retreat, recross the river at Augusta, they came in  pursuit until they came to (name of town illegible) ... they took in possession. At this time he was only 16 or 17 years old.

After this inglorious episode, Maximilian left the service, his three month enlistment having apparently expired before he saw other action.  “For this service I received a discharge. he recounts,  but  not considering it of any value, I took no care of it. “

But time marched on, and to quote,
“In the year 1780, immediately after the taking of  Charlestown, I entered the service again as a volunteer under Captain Parsons and continued in the service until the end of the war after the taking of Cornwallis in 1781.  Under Captain Parsons I was engaged sometimes against the Tories, and at other times against the Tories and British.  I was with Captain Parsons at the battle of Black Stocks under the-command of General Sumpter. I was also at the siege of Augusta, attached to Col. Shelby's regiment, .and in a scrimmage at Briar Creek with the Tories.

I was also at Eutaw Springs on the day of the battle, (Sep 8, 1781) but not in time to join Greens' army in the engagement. Capt. Parson, three others and myself being sent to Greene's army to procure ammunition.

The object, as I understand of Parson's volunteers, was to oppose the British, who were making  their way up the Canada West, and to defeat the Tories in their aid to the British and their depredations ... In this service we were daily engaged, but not with much success, as the Tories, aided by the British, were the strongest party, and took possession of the Canada West.

Captain Parsons' company, however, kept the Tories down in his surrounding neighborhood, and  Whenever the American army came in our reach we joined it, as was the cases when we had the battle at Black Stocks.

General Sumpter designed retaking Ninety-Six, and we were ordered to join him, but before we did join his army he made a retreat, but we followed on by a near cut and joined his army before Tarlton, came up at Black Stocks Ford where he had the battle and we killed, to. the best of my recollection, ninety-two British. After the battle Sumpter crossed the river (Tiger) and there we separated and returned to the defense of the settlements. In this engagement General Sumpter was wounded and Col. Hampton was the only principal officer I knew.

We later joined Col. Pickens and made an attempt to retake Ninety-Six, but did not succeed. Maximilian goes on to state that he ended up the war at Savannah, under the command of General Wayne at the evacuation of the place in the spring of 1782. “

He marched home and was discharged in Jun or July. He recalls that he received a state certificate for his service which I sold for a discount of two for one. He doesn't know the amount, but this was apparently the only pay he ever received for his services. Maximilian Conner received his pension, $100.00 per year from 1831 until his death, Nov 27, 1834. Thereafter his wife received a pension of $49.30 per year.  Thus Maximilian had been out of the army for forty-nine years before he started getting a pension.

Samual Etherton ancestry via DNA

Several Samuel Ehterton direct male descendants have taken a Y-DNA tests with 2 upgrading to a Big Y which helps us reach back in time the best.. Y-DNA is based on the fact that few mutations occur between a father and son on their y-chromosome which a male only inherits from his father. So all direct male defendants of Samuel Ehterton will have an identical Y-DNA results or fairly close. Close matches on a Y-DNA test indicate 2 men have a common male ancestor through a direct male connection. The results do not point us to a specific connection but they rule in or out they are related and give some idea how remote the connection is. In this case we do not know the specific ancestors of Samuel are but they do give us some important insights.

What have we learned from these Y-Dna test especially the Big Y test.

So even though we do not know Samuals parents or close relatives such as couisn we are lucky that some of his closest DNA connection have traced their lines back quite far. Its clear the orginal name was Atherton which was mispelled in more than one way at some point. We also know that at some point Samuel Ehterton's ancestors lived in Lancashire England for many generations. How many gernerations back to be born in Lancashire England is unclear. Samuel's father? grandfather? further back? But least we know it was an extensive family with many branches who have descnedants who have taken a y-dna ttest. So what next? We hope for more men who show up with y-dna tests to fill in the tree.

Gladman Family Tree

Gladman Name Meaning: English: variant of Glad which is English and Scandinavian: nickname for a cheerful person, from Middle English, Scandinavian glad ‘merry’, ‘jolly’.

The Gladmans from Maryland appear to come from 2 brothers who are sons of Michael and Rachel Gladman who left a will naming his children. His son Michaels' descendants have a better paper trail then his son John. So for son Michael;s family is evaluated first. Michael Jr had a son Thomas and a grandson Thomas with a good land and paper trail. So the Thomases in Ohio who came from Maryland were placed under Thomas. Many census were used. Much of the tree under John is circumstantial based on detailing his brother Michael first. The linked file has the details used to sort he tree out. Gladman Working Document.
