First Generation
1. Peter Allison Bishopric,1 born 1 September 1871 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the son of John Bishopric and Ellen Sinclair;1, 2, 3, 4 died 31 August 1937 in Elkhart County, Indiana.1, 2 Peter married, 27 April 1898 in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, Adelia Fern Gazlay3, 4, 8, 9 (born 30 December 1875 in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, the daughter of Aribert Gazlay, Jr. and Lydia L. Cox;3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Adelia died 13 February 1970 in Winter Park, Orange County, Florida5). Peter and Adelia are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio.1, 5

The following biography of Allison Bishopric appears in Cincinnati, the Queen City, by Rev. Charles Frederic Goss.9

Born under the British flag, Allison Bishopric, now a resident of Cincinnati, possessed the courage to seek his fortune in a foreign land and met with a hearty welcome when he settled in this city ten years ago. He is today at the head of one of the flourishing business enterprises of the city and can claim many friends, who recognize his sterling qualities. He was born at Toronto, Canada, September 1, 1871, his parents being John and Ellen (Sinclair) Bishopric. He received his early education in the public schools of Toronto and there laid a foundation by intelligent effort which has materially assisted in his advancement in life. After leaving school he became connected with the shoe business in his native city and continued in that line for five years. Believing that a wider field was presented in the United States, he bade farewell to his early associations and in 1901 came to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he assisted in organizing the British American Company, which was incorporated in 1901 to deal in naval stores and to manufacture brewers’ pitch and sealing wax. Mr. Bishopric has ever since the organization of the company been president and treasurer, and A. Gazlay has filled the office of vice president, and as the company is managed by men of experience and broad ability it has from the start been a marked success. The factory of the company is at Spring Grove avenue and Winton place and fifteen persons here find employment. The products are shipped to all parts of the United States and Canada. Mr. Bishopric is also actively connected with other enterprises, among which may be named the Mastic Wall Board & Roofing Company, which was incorporated at New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1909. This company manufacturer a substitute for wall plaster and composition roofing. A building is being erected for the use of the company and the success of the business is now assured. The officers are: William Bancroft, of New Orleans, president; Allison Bishopric, vice president; and E. J. Ross, of New Orleans, secretary. William R. Park, a well known business man of Cincinnati, is a member of the board of directors. Judging by the favor with which the product offered by this company is being accepted, there is every reason to believe that its operation will at an early day extend to all the principal points in the country.

In Cincinnati, Mr. Bishopric was married to Miss Adelle Fern Gazlay, a daughter of Aribert Gazlay. Three children have been born to this union, Emerson, Allison, Jr., and Charlotte. Mr. Bishopric was reared in the Episcopal church and is a vestryman of Grace Episcopal church of Avondale. He is a stanch believer in the Bible and in his business as well as in private life aims to exemplify the teaching of the Great Book. The possessor of original ideas, which he has incorporated in his business, he has gained more than the ordinary measure of success and his industry and persistent application give promise of still greater victories. He occupies a prominent and honored position in business and social circles and is rightly classed among the representative and prosperous men of Cincinnati.
