Edward Bishop is perhaps titleable as Edward Bishop Jr, since his father's name was also Edward. The earliest sources I read had a bit of confusion as to which of the 3 Edward Bishops (there were perhaps 4 living in Salem MA in the mid to late 1600s), father son or grandson, was the husband of Bridget Oliver Bishop. The title here is a compromise resulting from me not having much skill with the wikipedia format, me trying to disambiguate from Edward Stanley Bishop who has somehow managed to preempt the name, and me not being too sure whether there were one or more Edward Bishops in line before him in the family who also had a claim to use the name. If somebody has more skill here with the disambiguation format, then I am happy to see them make an improvement in the Edward Bishop confusion and naming of this article.John5Russell3Finley 00:15, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup
This article needs cleanup, first and foremost needing a precise and concise (it rhymes I know) lead. --Imaginationac (Talk | Edits | Email) 19:16, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Today I did some cleanup on this series Bridget Bishop and 2d and 3d husbands husbands. I started the husbands' articles because I could get the info in there and it seemed to stay put better in the husband articles. I think there may be some confusion in Upham between Edward and his son Edward. However Upham is respected and I don't have all the other sources, and Savage seems to agree with Upham. So for the moment I am mostly just cleaning up things here.John5Russell3Finley 18:21, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
