John Bishop and Jane Ewell of Kent were previously attached as parents, but given what is known about the birth dates for each, including Dorothy Bishop, she cannot be their daughter. Other John Bishops were alive at the same time, it should be noted.
Dorcas _______________, wife of John Corker, was born in 1601.[1] She would have been in Virginia by 22 Mar 1622[2] when John Corker is documented there. She passed away after 1659.
There is some evidence that John Corker may have had two wives. [2] A Mrs Corker is named in an 8 Dec 1624 court document with no first name given. In 1656 the name of John Corker's wife is given as Dorothy yet in other documents she may be seen as Dorcas. See next paragraph.
That the Dorothy Bishop mentioned in Nugent, Nell M., Cavaliers and Pioneers, I:185 is the wife of John Corker named Dorothy is not documented. This is speculation based upon a land for transportation record. Additionally, if this Dorothy Bishop is the Dorothy wife of John Corker the dates would suggest that she is a second wife.[3] For purposes of the Corker family profile clean-up, all Dorothy profiles are being merged as Dorothy Bishop.
