Abraham Bishop was an American politician and educator. He also served as a clerk of the superior court.
Background
Abraham Bishop was born in New Haven, Connecticut, United States, the son of Samuel and Mehetabel (Bassett) Bishop. His father was a respected and well-to-do citizen who exemplified the steady habits of his native state by more than fifty years' service as town clerk and representative in the Assembly, besides holding at different times several other local offices, including, late in life, that of mayor.
Education
Abraham graduated at Yale in 1778.
Career
In 1785 Bishop was admitted to the bar but never attained any professional distinction, not even practising with any regularity. In 1787-1788 he visited Europe and, like his classmate Joel Barlow, was profoundly influenced by its intellectual unrest and the politicaland religious skepticism of the revolutionary era. For several years he taught school, lectured, and engaged in miscellaneous activities. In 1792 he returned to New Haven, where he lived for the remainder of his life. He taught school and was in 1795 made clerk of the county court, in 1796 of the probate court, and in 1798 of the superior court. He became an ardent supporter of Jefferson, which in a Federalist community like Connecticut was the equivalent of moral and political treason, and by 1801, accordingly, he had been ousted from the last of these local offices.
In 1801 President Jefferson removed the Federalist collector of the port and assigned the place to Samuel Bishop. As his father was in feeble health it was generally considered that the appointment was in effect that of Abraham himself, and indisputably a reward for political services. The protest of the New Haven merchants thereat, and President Jefferson's reply will always appear as landmarks in the history of American civil service. In 1803, on the death of his father, Bishop was formally appointed collector and held the place until removed by President Jackson in 1829. His official career thus coincided with a distinct epoch in the history of Federal patronage and he was first a beneficiary and then a victim of two great exponents of democratic administration.
One of Bishop’s contemporaries noticed the fact that the possession of a lucrative office quieted his radical tendencies and that his political activity quickly subsided after 1804. He spent the rest of his life acquiring respectability, a belief in the protective tariff, and a fortune, apparently with marked success in each endeavor. Bishop's political activity was largely concentrated in a period of six or seven years around the opening of the century and he unquestionably exercised an important influence both within his own state and in New England at large. Nevertheless, he performed a valuable service when he assailed the alliance of church and state, the clannishness produced by family alliances in business and politics, and the exaggerated respect for wisdom of ancestors who as he said "fought, quarreled, sinned and punished, as often in proportion to their numbers as their posterity. " Conservative Federalism also needed to be continually reminded that "everything valuable in our world has been at one time, innovation, illuminatism, modern philosophy or atheism" to those disturbed by it.

Quotations:
"Have mercy upon us! ye well-fed, well-dressed, chariot-rolling, caucus-keeping, levee-revelling federalists; for we are poor, and wretched, and ignorant and miserable. "
Personality
Bishop had a command of simple, forceful English, a distinct satirical bent, and some sense of humor, a combination which made him a dreaded and hated opponent of that conservative, religious, legal, and propertied alliance which completely dominated Connecticut prior to 1818.
Connections
On March 11, 1792, Bishop married Nancy, daughter of the notorious Timothy Dexter of Newburyport. Later the divorced. In 1802 he married Betsey Law of Cheshire, Connecticut, who died September 11, 1817, and on January 3, 1819, he married Mrs. Elizabeth (Nicoll) Lynde of New Haven, who survived him.
