Posted on: Pike County, Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Pike/1556 Surname: Davis, Bradshaw, Thomas ------------------------- Researching EDWARD DAVIS, born c.1822-24 in Wayne Co. MS. Married ADELINE (THOMAS) BRADSHAW 24DEC1848 in Pike Co. AL. Marriage records show an ADELINE THOMAS married a DANIEL BRADSHAW six years before in 1842. EDWARD and ADELINE appear on the 1850 census as living next to his brother, THOMAS HAMPTON and wife, MARTHA ANN SHIELDS. Am not certain but believe ADELINE brought first 3 children shown on census into this marriage and they are DANIEL'S children. Children's names and estimated birth years are: ELIZA J., 1842; JOHN HENRY, 1846; SARAH F., 1848; CYNTHIA A., 1852; MARTHA, 1853; CHRISTOPHER, 1854; QUINTON, 1855; WILLIAM, 1857; TEMPY (TEMPERANCE?),1860; and LULA, 1862. All children were believed to be born in Pike Co. ADELINE DAVIS is shown as head of the household on 1870 census so presumably EDWARD is deceased. Don't know if he served in the Civil War but would have been a good age to have done so. Would appreciate hearing from anyone on this. Any suggestions are welcome on tracing this family using the above data as this is all I have to work with.
