Notes

  • Note*: "He came to Philadelphia with his elder brother Samuel Bispham, in 1772, and on arriving at mature age engaged in business there, and continued to reside in the city until the breaking out of the yellow fever in 1798, when he removed with his family to Moorestown, and engaging in farming there, never took up residence in Philadelphia, though he died there in 1832, while on a visit, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Sallows Dunlap. Like his father, he was a member of the Society of Friends."4
