Another list mentioned a website whose address is: http://ww1.rarebooks.to/webpages2/riverow/riv_coll/bibles/biblfram.htm 1848 Family bible is for sale at this commercial website. The price is high. It is listed under: Stone, Ball, Bradshaw. Bradshaw names I saw are: "Wellington Vesta Bradshaw Ball & their children" (??). It says this is the Bible of Judson (8/27/1792-6/22/1871) & Polly Turrell Stone (12/17/1795- 7/17/1855) m. 1/15/1815. Their eldest daughter Amy (12/29/1815-5/6/1903) m. John Bradshaw 2/19/1835. Their children's birth dates and marriage dates/spouses are also listed. The Bible was published in 1848 in Cooperstown, NY but it is unclear where the family lived. I hope this information is useful to someone! Michael Fisk

Hi All This is my first message to the list, so here is my BRADSHAW connections, researching for descendants of Richard Bradshaw who married Elizabeth Hand on the 15 september 1734 at Chesbey in Staffordshire England, their son Richard married Cassandra Craddock on the 3 december 1764 in Eccleshall, Staffordshire England, hope someone is researching the same line. Regards Mark

Hi Bradshaw Cousins, My grandmother was Hester A. Bradshaw b. 1881 TX m. Charles J. Whitener. (TX) Her parents were John William 1848/1904/Lucy Josephine Wilson Bradshaw (AR/OK) Then we go back to: John 1817-1865/Amelia Emily Campbell Bradshaw (TN/AR) Henry 1755-1860/Sara E. ? Bradshaw (SC/AR) Joel 1750/Mary Rebecca Montgomery Bradshaw (VA/TN) Charles 1720-1761/Jemima Hendricks Bradshaw (VA) William/Judith Scruggs Bradshaw (VA) John (the Imagrant)/Elizabeth Harper (Eng/VA) I have not confirmed any of this beyond Henry & Sara, but have been given information going back 14 more generations to Robert De Bradshaw, abt 1252 England informtion. I would love to share information. Any connections? Jean

I have seen 1724 and 1726 listed as the birthdate for John Bradshaw, son of William & Judith Bradshaw of Goochland County, Va. Does anyone know the origin of the birthdates and how they were derived? Richard W. Bratcher www.geocities.com/~dbratcher

Hi All! I found these BRADSHAWS whilst searching for some of my Mormon ancestry. I don't know if I have any relatives amongst them or not. Thought I would post this for others. Maybe somebody out there is looking for just one of these Bradshaw folks and didn't know they were Latter Day Saints! This list is from the Mormon Pioneer Immigration Records. The file numbers are listed after each name, if someone wants to do some more research. I also have a list each for VAUGHN, CAULKINS (CALKINS), BROOKS, COLE, LAMB, FILLMORE, GRANT and others, if anyone is interested.

Hello All, I have had a few requests for more information about the COMBS/BRADSHAW families I posted and since my personal research isn't back together yet, let me do this: www.combs-families.org/~combs/ This is our COMBS web site which is FULL of information which we have put together for the past couple of years. There are 3 different search engines to help you. I'm sure you'll find what you are looking for, but if not, you can join the list and ask you questions there or send a query to Carole Hammett who will foreward it to the list for you. Hope this helps. Anne

My ggGramma's account [Rebecca Ann (BRADSHAW) VAUGHN] has it that the first Bradshaw (at least of our line) was thought to be William, who came from England. She also wrote in her Bible that "he came with the son (or sons) of... " someone named "...HARVEY and had with him at least 7 sons and four daughter's, but no wife". (Another account quotes her as saying "at least one daughter"). According to Greer's book, the Bradshaw who came with a man named Harvey and his son was a Robert Bradshaw. Interestingly, the name "Harvey" continued to be used as a given name by members of her family for quite some time, in her lifetime, anyway. She wrote that three of the 7 sons were: William, John, & Jeremiah. (This seems to fit your entry of John Bradshaw & Anne (Hamblin) - seven sons and four daughters). She says only that this is according to "family tradition". (She was born in 1822). Another relative wrote that the first Bradshaw had been an English Lord sometime in English history. She wrote regarding the first "immigrant": Jacob BRADSHAW, an Englishman, married Ellen TURNER. They had at least seven sons and a daughter named Ellen. Three of the sons were John, William and Jeremiah. (Interestingly, I found a record of a Jacob Bradshaw in 18th century England married to an Anne Turner, who may have come to America) Having found the record showing that indeed a Bradshaw did come over with a man named Harvey and his son, which I previously posted on the List, I begin to wonder how Ann had all these stories in her head, and was so close in every account to the truth (just from her memory as a small child), if these stories aren't also based on some element of truth. Who the first Bradshaw immigrant was is not as important to me as "When" my ancestor came over. I find the conflicting opinions of arrival dates a maddening tangle of data. One author may claim 1621, while another says it was 1640. Perhaps what we are actually seeing here is that these early Bradshaws were travelling back and forth from Virginia to England, on business, or perhaps bringing over other colonists, workers, indentured servants, slaves, etc. This was fairly common and England was collecting revenues and raw goods from the Virginias from the very beginning. Reports were sent to England (had to be hand-carried back then...no e-mail), and if someone wanted to start a new colony, they had to go back to England to get a new Patent and the approval of the Crown. England was rolling in Dough from the Tobacco coming out of Virginia alone. Smoke shops were all the "rage" in London as were coffee houses. Also, it has been suggested that the first Bradshaw(s) came to Virginia to escape the persecution of the crown. Unless they had been "exiled to the Americas" by the Crown, I find it highly unlikely that they would "escape persecution" by going to the Virginias which was ruled by the Crown and governed by English governors. The early records show that the men who brought the early Bradshaws over from England were rewarded handsomely for the task with lands. The early Bradshaws went immediately into tobacco production which required laborers and lots of money, besides land patents. The Crown had a good grip on the Virginias. She was the crowning jewel of all the colonies. Doesn't sound like a place for refugees to go to hide from English Rule, to me. -Of course, if they were exiled and forced to go to the "Americas", there should be some English ruling in the records somewhere, even in Virginia (unless these were destroyed in the Civil War, also). I have found records of English Lords who were exiled to "the Americas", stripped of their nobility in the homeland, but still given a position of power and authority in the Colonies, out of respect for their "once having been a man of nobility and means", it was not in "good form" for the Crown to strip him of all his dignity. But banishment to the Americas was seen as ample punishment...to be "cut off from proper civilization" as it were. England did not foresee that these former Nobles would rise up from the ashes like a Phoenix, someday, rich and powerful now in the savage colonies of America. Anyway, that's my thoughts. I posted some of this to the List for comment and discussion, but have received nothing regarding it so far. As I am new to researching the Bradshaw family, I look to you (all) who are more likely to be more knowledgeable on the subject and sources. I intend to do my own research, but need some imput, since I have not until recently had any definitive pedigree for GGGramma. ~Annie~ Teddie Anne Stueber [email protected] who writes from cool & breezy Oklahoma where the sun is shining today, and is still mowing grass and gardening in November!

Anne: You'll never have to worry that I'll misspell your name; that is the way my middle name is spelled too, and I also experience(d) people dropping the final "e" when they wrote my name. I also get my first name spelled: Teddy, Teddi, Teddii, & Teddey. One boy (when I was in the eighth grade) kept calling me "Teresa". We had adjoining lockers. Finally one day I asked him why he called me that and he said that he figured "Teddie " was the nickname for Teresa. Go figure! Then I went through the years of having my awards presented to "Mr. Teddie Driggs"...GRRrrrrrrrrr! So, I fully understand. Here is the info I sent to Greg. I really need to write a more complete record, but this will give you a good idea of what I have. As you will see, my BRADSHAW research had been halted at my ggGrandmother for many years. Anyway, here goes: ! CHILDREN of John Bradshaw & Rebecca STEPHENS or STEPHENSON: 1. Nancy Louisa Bradshaw, b. 2 June, 181, Cabell Co., VA. Married: Fielden BREEDEN (10 children) (Aunt Nancy was a Mid-wife) 2. Skelton BRADSHAW, b. 25 July, 1820, Cabell Co., VA. (Uncle Skelton was a minister) 3. Rebecca "Ann" BRADSHAW, b. 12 August, 1822, Cabell Co., VA. Married: Amos Fuller VAUGHN (9 children) plus two step-sons. (Ann was a school teacher in Jackson Co., Iowa) Ann wrote on her legal records, "Cabble Co, WV, near Wheeling). It was not until I took over the family research and records that the error was discovered. I have only within the past week been able to find the link of what our family knew of her father's family to the rest of the family in Virginia. I have been gathering information about the "Bradshaws of Virginia" for the past 2 years, even though I found no direct link to John until recently. I have been researching genealogy since 1976. My family has Ann's Bible where she kept her birth records and family notes. Wish I could say that she had information that would positively link our family with the other Bradshaws in Virginia, but I don't. According to her writings, her father died when she was about 2 years old. Her mother, Rebecca (Stephens, she said) sent Ann to live with her father's parents. Ann's granddaughter, Leora Hindorff, seemed to think Ann's grandparents were Jacob & Rachel or Ellen (TURNER) Bradshaw. The name "Ellen Turner" came from a confusion with the story that Ann taught her children about the First BRADSHAW in America, said to have come from England with Victor HARVEY's sons. He brought with him at least 7 sons and a daughter and "no wife". Another account in my family is that his wife was Ellen TURNER. Recently, I discovered that John's parents were Charles and Hannah (BATES) BRADSHAW, and that Jacob & Rachel were actually Ann's Uncle Jacob & Aunt Rachel. The only TURNER surname I have found is Ann Turner married to a Jacob or James Bradshaw in England.There must be some explanation why Ann had that name in her head. In the memoirs of Amanda Jane (Vaughn) KEELER, Ann's oldest daughter, she wrote about her mother: "Ann was sent to live with her father's parents. Her mother later remarried and had three sons: Maxwell, Thomas, and James. Ann never saw her mother again, nor ever saw or knew her half-brothers. When Ann was about 9-10 years old (1832), her grandparents went to live in Ohio. They moved by wagon train, taking all their possessions with them, including the livestock. Ann recalled that she was allowed to ride her own horse all the way to their new home in Ohio. - She was a skilled rider and loved horses. Throughout her life she always kept them. Along the way to Ohio, they stopped off at the home of some family friends, the Clevelands. Ann often spoke fondly of memories she had of those summer days when she swung on a wild grapevine swing out over the muddy banks of the Ohio River with her childhood friend, Grover Cleveland." She recalled that in Virginia, her family had slaves. Her playmates were the slave children, and she spoke with a southern accent with phrases like, "Reckon as how...". Aunt Amanda continues the story about her mother, from that point in time to their arrival in Jackson County, Iowa in the spring of 1846. Ann married Amos Fuller Vaughn in the summer of 1846. Amos, a veteran of the Black Hawk War in 1832, had first married Susan BREEDEN in 1839, had two sons, but lost his wife when she gave birth to twins in January, 1846. The twins died within a month of their birth. Susan Breeden's brother, Fielden Breeden, had married Nancy BRADSHAW, Ann's older sister. I believe Skelton married and went south to Texas. Still researching to find him. (And so the story continued) In Ann's Bible she had written entries about various family members. Among them I found a Jeremiah Bradshaw, "Uncle Jerry". He married a woman she referred to as "Aunt Zoobie". They had a son named Harvey. She also mentioned a Hannah who married J.T. CHISHOLM and her dau. Jenny Chisholm. Lucy ALBAUGH was also mentioned as the "Half-sister" of Hannah & Harve. A name that looks like " Clara JEETS or JEETERS" was written in this entry as well, but very difficult to read. Hannah, Lucy and Harvey were children of Jeremiah & Zoobie Bradshaw. I discovered Aunt Zoobie's name was Azuba DOOLITTLE. She was supposedly from New York. In the Cass County Historical Biographies - Jerimiah Bradshaw - pages 350 - 351, (Iowa), I found the following information about Jeremiah: "Jeremiah Bradshaw, the pioneer, was born December 17, 1807, in Madison county, Kentucky, and is a son of Charles and Hannah (Bates) Bradshaw. He lived in his native state until eighteen years of age. The family then removed to Guyandotte, Cabell county, West Virginia, where they remained until 1840. In that year they moved to Illinois, and located near Paris, in Edgar county. The family consisted at that time of the parents, three brothers and a sister. They left West Virginia in a small boat, which contained also their household goods and previsions for the journey. The father, one brother, Elias, and a cousin made the trip overland, taking with them cattle, horses and other stock. They passed on their route Terre Haute, which was then a small village. On arriving at their destination in Illinois, they began farming. Jeremiah lived in Illinois till 1847. In the spring of that year he removed to Wapello county, Iowa, and, the following September, went to Mahaska county, where he remained till early in May, 1851. About the middle of the same month here arrived in Cass county. Mr. Bradshaw was married in Ohio, January 15, 1828, to Miss Eliza Doolittle, a native of New York. By this union nine children were born, one of whom died in infancy. Those who attained maturity were Victor M., who was a member of the Fourth Iowa infantry; Henry L. and Harvey, were in the same regiment; the former was killed at Mission Ridge; Calvin, who was in the Twenty-third Iowa Infantry, and very severely wounded at Black River Bridge; Hannah, wife of F.I. Chizum; Lucy Ann, wife of ----Jackson, living in Pottawattamie county; Sarah died at the age of three years; Mrs. Bradshaw died in this county, December 1, 1863. In May, 1865, Mr. Bradshaw was married to Parmelia Ferrell; she died January 1, 1880, in Southern California, where her husband had taken her. In August, 1861, Jeremiah Bradshaw enlisted in company B, of the Fourth Iowa Infantry. He served fourteen months and was then honorably discharged at Memphis, Tennessee, where he had lain three months in the hospital, in consequence of a broken knee, which he received while on duty. He took part in the battle of Pea Ridge, Cotton Plantation, and a great number of skirmishes. On being discharged, he returned to Cass county, and was appointed recruiting agent, and in that capacity rendered valuable aid to his country, by enlisting many in the service. He still has in his possession some of his army accoutrements, which he brought back with him. For one year after closing his connection with the army, Mr. Bradshaw rented his farm, then resumed that occupation and continued it until the death of his wife, after which he moved into the village of Lewis. Previous to coming to the county he had been justice of the peace in Mahaska county. Soon after coming here, he was made postmaster at Cold Springs, succeeding John Pettingill, a Mormon, who was the first postmaster in Cass county. In 1880, he visited California. The second election held in this county took place at his house, which was the largest building in this vicinity. He was then elected county judge, the first one of the county. In those days he kept hotel and stage station. Mr. Bradshaw is a member of the G.A.R." This record states that the family left Virginia in 1840, whereas Ann said they left when she was age nine, 1831-32. Also you will note the date of his birth in Kentucky is 1807. This differs with your record of when the Bradshaws removed to Kentucky. The family name of Chisholm is spelled in this record as "Chizum", and Aunt Zoobie's name, (which I discovered was "Azuba DOOLITTLE"), is given as Eliza Doolittle. Lucy is shown as Lucy Ann, but her married name of ALBAUGH is not shown. I have found many entries about the ALBAUGH (or ALBEE) families, but cannot determine which one Lucy had married. Am curious about the J.T Chisholm - might he be related to the famous John T. Chisholm, the cattleman? This account was made in 1884 by the Des Moines Historical Society. I have several other historical biographies about Jeremiah Bradshaw of various sources. Ann (Bradshaw) & Amos Vaughn first lived in Jackson County, Iowa. By 1950, they removed to Putnam County, Missouri. Amos was a Yankee from New York, according to family tradition ( I'm beginning to suspect he was actually a Virginian too.). But family stories state that with the coming of the Civil War in 1861, Amos being a Yankee and all, they removed to Cass County, where they owned and operated a Cross Roads store and freighting Company and stage-stop boarding house in Lewis. Amos trucked flour by wagon from the nearby flour mill to parts all over Iowa, as far north as Storm Lake, 100 miles of rough travel in those days. He often took one or more of his daughters along with him on those long trips. With eight girls and one boy, they often did chores considered to be man's work. But Amos had hired men to help him run the farm and store in town. They had a "hired girl" named Elsie, to help Ann with the household. She was loved by the whole family. There are many humorous stories told about adventures with Elsie in their household. Two of their daughters, Nancy Leanore and Lucy VAUGHN, married the HINDORFF brothers who were Swedish immigrants; naturalized American citizens by virtue of their father having obtained American Citizenship in 1875. The older of the two brothers, P.G. Hindorff, had a thriving Saddle and Harness Manufacturing Company in Lewis. Most of the HINDORFF-VAUGHN family, including Ann BRADSHAW-VAUGHN went west to California after Amos died in 1880. Ann lived with her daughter, Alice (VAUGHN) MACHADO in Temecula, an old Spanish village in northern San Diego County. This is also where Leanore and P.G. settled. Ann later "moved into town", where her daughters had purchased a home for her on the hill overlooking town. She died there in 1913, Fall Brook (as it was spelled then), San Diego Co., California. She was the second to the last of the Surviving Pensioners of the Black Hawk War. And that is where I was born and raised, just 4 miles outside of Fallbrook...on land still owned and occupied by my Mom's family. These are the notes I have in Ann's files. More later. ~Annie~
