Name |
Polly COGGESHALL [1, 2, 3] |
- Polly Coggeshall was born on 15 September 1777 according to the Barbour Collection of Stamford Records for marriages, birth and deaths. Her parents were listed as Dunlap and Hannah Cogshall of Stamford. She married Hezekiah Bishop on January 31, 1796 in Stamford and the officiate was Reuben Scofield.
Polly and Hezekiah had a daughter, Eliza H. Bishop who has sometimes been referred to as Elizabeth. On all essential documents, Census, Tombstone, father's estate probate, and family bible in the possession of Candee Scofield Hoff, she is "Eliza H." Bishop Scofield.
The fact that Polly Bishop survived her husband by 22 years attests to her strength, longevity and family support. She was surrounded by her family, her son Erastus C and daughter Eliza H. Scofield who stayed in Stamford. Her third child, Hezekiah S. Bishop predeceased both his parents.
Polly Bishop was in the 1840 census living with another woman, both age 60+., and living next to her son Erastus C. Bishop. The companion of Polly is probably Maria Hobby, second wife of Benjamin Hobby who died in 1813*. What familial relationship existed, has not been discovered, because Maria's maiden name is unknown as yet. However, the bond was there because they are found in the 1850 US Federal census for Stamford with Polly's son, Erastus C. Bishop. The census was taken on the 11 October 1850 and she stated that she was 73. Polly is in the 1860 census again with the Erastus C. Bishop family. She stated that she was 84 years on 5th of Sept 1860 when the census was taken in Stamford.."
The children of Polly and Hezekiah Bishop are:
Erastus C. Bishop
Eiza H. Bishop. wife of Edwin Scofield
Polly Ann, wife of John Wilmot
