Augusta Francelia Payne White's The Paynes of Hamilton, A Genealogical and Biographical Record (New York, NY, 1912), pp. 76-77: "Mr. Bishop went to Ohio, when quite a youth, studied and practiced law in that State, and afterwards in Minnesota, until he became convinced that he was called to preach the Gospel. He then entered Madison (now Colgate) University, and graduated from the Theological Department of that institution. His first pastorate was at Burlington, Iowa. From there he was called to Auburn, N. Y., in which place he remained as pastor for eight years, until his health failed. His physical condition induced him to seek a residence in Florida, and in 1868 he was appointed general missionary of the Home Mission Society. After leaving the employment of this society Dr. Bishop engaged in orange culture, and was one of the pioneers in that business. He was closely identified with the growth and development of Florida. In 1876 he was elected to the State Legislature. In 1880 the degree of LL. D. was conferred upon him by Furman University of South Carolina. He was the author of The Psychologist, a novel, and of American Patriotism, and many articles of social, political and religious interest."
