• Notes

  Some researchers have identified Grover, son of Theodore and Lucy Gertrude Bishop as "Theodore A. Bishop," not Grover Cleveland Bishop. I am convinced that "Cleveland" was his middle name. His gravestone is clearly marked "Grover C. Bishop," and the records of the Oaklawn cemetery in Brookhaven NY where he is interred indicate that Theodore and Lucy G. are also interred in the same plot (although no grave marker has been found). On his World War I Draft Registration Card his name is recorded as "Grover Cleveland Bishop" with wife Ellen May Bishop. He is said to have been known locally with the nickname "Cleve." Researchers should also be aware that there was another contemporary Grover Cleveland Bishop, son of Robert E. and Cassy Bishop, who resided in nearby Patchogue, NY; and who had a birthdate near to the present Grover Cleveland Bishop. Some researchers have confused and intermingled these two families. The Patchogue Grover Cleveland Bishop died in a boating accident on 4 Aug 1937 while fishing in the Great South Bay.
