FAMILY HISTORY FROM AN EARLY DATE - by Lewis C. Bishop
March 1882
. . . Nancy married a drunkard by the name of Legate. They lived in Edinburg. My little brother was sick and I carried him, on my back, through the town begging something to eat, while Legate lay in the saloon drunk. About this time brother Jonathan was returning from a trip to New Orleans and he took me to Shelby county. And then sister Nancy took sick and William and I went to see her. She was very bad and after we came home she died. And then Legate put the baby on a stump to bid him off to the highest bidder, and Uncle Stephen Bishop, who lived four miles from town, saw what he was doing and took the little fellow in his arms and went home and raised him.
(2) Ivory Holland Legate was one of the largest landowners in Edinburgh, Indiana. He platted the I.H. Legate addition to Edinburgh in 1850. He was also the owner of a flour mill in Edinburgh, which he sold in 1865 to Jacob L. Toner. Mr. Legate died in 1866.
The compiler believes that Ivory Holland Legate may have been the Mr. Legate who was the husband of Nancy Bishop, but there can be no assurance that such belief is correct.
