Bishop Branch
Bishop Branch is a stream in Pike County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of Noix Creek.
Bishop Branch has the name of Joshua Bishop, a pioneer settler.[2] Joshua Bishop came to the Missouri Territory about 1812 with a group from York County, South Carolina, including the Templeton, Jordan, Turner and Johnson families. They settled in St. Charles County, from which Pike County was created in 1817.
