Biography

In a List of inhabitants of St Peter, Barbados, 1780, Bishop was listed as owning 21 enslaved.

  1. Will of Henry Bishop of [the town of Speights in the parish of] St Peter Barbados proved 09/05/1781. He ordered that £5000 be put in the funds to meet encumbrances on his plantation called Reids Bay, which he left to his son John Bishop. He left the residue of his estate to his son the Hon.
