Do you know of Bishop Street ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Bishop Street. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Bishop Street.<1>

Our sources for Bishop Street (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Bishop Street other than they indicate that Bishop Street would be found somewhere in Jefferson County, New York.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1870 and closed  in 1909.
