I have conflicting information indicating that he was born either A) July 8, 1854 in Bloomington, IL, or B) 1868 in Avon, IL (Fulton County). His parents may have been James Bishop and Charlotte Arnold. As of 1860, James and Charlotte Bishop were living in Avon, IL (Fulton County).

Please note that he may have spelled his name "Steven" as well as "Stephen" and the order of his middle names may be different, or initials may have been used. I would very much like to know who his parents were so that I can trace that line back. Stephen was very likely married more than once (and maybe concurrently).
