As told from my uncle Thomas Vance Cost. Thomas Bishop was full blood Apache Indian. He was found by Henry Wood Bishop who took Thomas into his home, raised him and gave him the Bishop name. The story told states that the name was changed from Apache Indian to Black Dutch to keep from being relocated from Shelby County, Alabama out to Oklahoma. Thomas's original home was set on fire by the white man and no one knows what happened to his parents or if he had any siblings.
