Martha Bishop was a daughter of Robert Haines and Lucy (Ridgeway) Bishop.
She married Joel Guernsey about 1850 and they were the parents of four children: Lucy Bishop, Mary Electa, William H. and Robert R. Guernsey.
The family moved from New York to Manistee county, Michigan, about 1866, and settled in Onekama township.
According to the 1882 Manistee County history, under the heading of Bear Lake Township, "A district school was started, and a good log house built near the farm of J. B. Mason, who was the second postmaster of the town. The house was comfortably supplied with school apparatus, and Mrs. J. Guernsey, who years before had much experience in teaching, was again induced to put on the teachers' harness." (Note- this was apparently around 1866)
