Hello List Family Members, To make your query work harder for you... keep in mind the old rules of news reporting and include as many of the following as possible: WHO: State the names of people as completely as you can. WHAT: Try to limit your query to one or two specific events or bits of information. Post another one or more later with additional questions rather than load all your questions into one. In this way each of your questions will stand out and get attention. WHEN: Dates are important, if you don't know the day, month and year try to put in a period (1790s, late 1800s etc.) WHERE: Mention the location in the body of the query. Include a more specific location if you can. WHY: Why are you searching for this(these) individual(s)? Describe your connection to him/her. HOW: How your query appears will often get subscriber's attention. Check spelling, grammar and format. Apply the KISS system: Keep It Simple Simple. SUBJECT FIELD: To get the most from your query, place the SURNAME, LOCATION, YEAR in the subject field. Remember ! ! ! ! Many subscribers belong to multiple list servers; therefore, many go through their mail looking at subject fields only. Unfortunately, messages with "My Family", "My Line", "My Grandfather", "My JONES", etc., as subjects are deleted without ever being opened. REPETITION: Once you have an acceptable looking query, save it and update it as necessary. Use it again about once a quarter to touch base with new members. Also, you may use it on web sites that accepts queries. REMEMBER: Your goal is to get information. A list server (discussion group) such as this is an excellent means for helping you reach it. Make the query work! By following these recommendations, your query stands a better chance of being read and you may make that great contact that you need. GOOD QUERIES CONNECT...

>From the book "Virginia Revolutionary Pension Applications Volume Nine" Abstracted and compilrd by John Frederick Dorman Washington D.C. 1964 Pages 56 & 57 BRADSHAW, John. S.15760. 9 Sept. 1831. Goochland Co., Va. John BRADSHAW declares he enlisted early in 1779 and was marched by Capt. Tarlton PAYNE from Goochland County to Fredericksburg, Williamsburg and Petersburg. He was under different captains from PAYNE'S company, to GRAY'S company, to WOODSON'S, to HOWARD'S, and with him marched south to Cross Creek where he was left with some sick soldiers. After a few days he marched to Charleston and in May 1780 was made a prisoner of war. At that time he belonged to Capt. BEELE'S company in Col. HEATH'S regiment. In the fall of 1780 he made his escape. He got home in June 1781 and in August joined the siege of Yorktown. 27 July 1831. Goochland Co., Va. William CROUCH declares he was with John BRADSHAW at the siege of York and believes he was a prisoner at Charleston. 9 Aug. 1831. Goochland Co., Va. William (X) HIX declares he was with John BRADSHAW at the siege of York and afterward marched to Cumberland Old Court House. 12 Aug. 1831. Goochland Co., Va.

He has understood he was a prisoner at Charleston and also at the siege of York. 16 Aug. 1831. Goochland Co., Va. George Woodson PAYNE declares he has been acquainted with John BRADSHAW upwards of forty years and believes he was a soldier. 24 Aug. 1831. Fluvanna Co., Va. Hopper WARD declares that early in 1780 in marching to the south he fell in the company with John BRADSHAW and they marched together to Charleston, S.C. He remained a prisoner some time but escaped and got some distance away when he was taken and carried back to Charleston and put on board a prison ship where he remained some time. He was again carried on shore and there again met John BRADSHAW and after a short time they made a hazardous attempt and got clear of the British garrison but could not proceed on their way home. He met a small company of mounted men and joined himself to that party and went to where BRADSHAW was and he joined also. They rendered some service in endeavoring to put down the disaffected, but the last of May started home and got to Goochland County about the middle of June 1781. BRADSHAW went on to the siege of York. 20 Aug. 1832. Goochland Co., Va. John BRADSHAW of said county, aged 69, declares he served a tour in the militia as a volunteer under Capt. John CURD of Goochland and Lt. Edward REDFORD in the latter part of 1778 and early 1779 to guard British prisoners at Albemarle Barracks. He enlisted in Continental service early in 1779 for one year and six months and was marched from Goochland County by Capt. Tarlton PAYNE to Fredericksburg, Williamsburg, Petersburg and then Capt. PAYNE'S company fell into Col. Richard PARKER'S regiment. After some time at Petersburg, Col. PARKER'S regiment was ordered on to the south and he was not permitted to accompany Capt. PAYNE as only old soldiers could go. He fell into Col. HEETH'S regiment and Capt. GRAY'S company, and after some time the regiment was ordered south but he was sick and could not go. He then fell into Col. Abraham BUFORD'S regiment and Capt. Henry WOODSON'S company. The lieutenants were named PIERSON and PORTER. A Bins JONES either resigned or was cashiered. An ensign named MAN belonged to Capt. WOODSON'S company. In March or April 1780 Capt. HOWARD was ordered to the south and had the privilege to choose his men and called on BRADSHAW and he marched with him to Cross Creek in North Carolina and was left there with some sick soldiers. After a few days Maj. MINNIS and Capt. DANDRIDGE with a company of men came and he marched with them to Charleston, S.C., and in May the town was surrendered by Gen. LINCOLN. When he got to Charleston he joined Col. HEETH'S regiment and Capt. BEALE'S company. In the fall of 1780 he made his escape but could not travel homeward, the enemy and Tories being thick. He remained in South Carolina some time in the swamps and sometimes elsewhere in search of something to live on and in the spring of 1781 got to Goochland County about the middle of June. In Aug. 1781 he substituted for George TOLER of Goochland County for six months but never received any pay. He was in Capt. DUDLY'S company under Col. George DABNEY and at the surrender of CORNWALLIS at Yorktown. Afterwards he changed places with a man in Col. FEBIGER'S regiment and Capt. LOVLY'S [?] company and marched to Cumberland Old Courthouse and was discharged in the winter of 1781-82. He was born in Goochland County 18 April 1763.

Samuel VANCE and marched across the Blue Ridge at Rockfish Gap and then by Bowling Green and Page's Warehouse to Little York and was at the taking of Lord Cornwallis. The British Army was marched out between two lines of the American Army and laid down their arms and then returned through the same lines to their encampment in Yorktown. On the next day they were marched out with their knapsacks on and then took up their line of march under a strong escort or guard to the barracks at Winchester where he was discharged. 28 April 1833. Pocahontas Co., Va. John SLAVIN of said county declares he served three months at and near Portsmouth, Va., with John BRADSHAW in the winter and spring of 1781. BRADSHAW was a sergeant in the company of Capt. Thomas HICKLIN and regiment of Col. Sampson MATHEWS. In the latter part of the summer and fall of 1781 he again served in the company with BRADSHAW and was with him at the siege of York and marched with him to guard prisoners from Yorktown to Winchester.

>From the book "Virginia Revolutionary War Pension Applications Volume Nine" Abstracted and compiled by John Frederick Dorman Washington, D.C. 1964 Pages 54, 55, 56 BRADSHAW, John. S.6738. 7 May 1833. Pocahontas Co., Va. John BRADSHAW of said county, aged 74 on 2 February last, declares he entered service in the spring of 1776 as an Indian spy. He was then just eighteen years of age. He served as private in the company of militia of Capt. John HENDERSON and resided in what is now Monroe County. He took the oath of fidelity and entered service 1 May 1776. On 1 Nov. 1776 when the fear of Indian depredations no longer existed, they retired to winter quarters. In the spring of 1777 he entered service as an Indian spy on 15 April and was discharged before 1 November. He again went into service as Indian spy on 15 April 1778 and served until 1 November. On 1 May 1779 he again commenced his expedition and served until 1 November 1779. The nature of his services was to leave Cooks Fort on Indian Creek, now in Monroe County, and be out three or four days each week and then return and others would go in their place. The practice was for two to go together. His companion was mostly James ELLIS. He sometimes went with the late Col. Samuel ESTILL of Kentucky. He performed these services in the gaps and low places in the chain of mountains between William LAFFERTY'S plantation on New River and the head waters of Laurel Creek where they met spies from BURNSIDE'S fort. They traversed the country which included the head waters of Big and Little Stony creeks, the head water's of the Indian Draft, a branch of Indian Creek, and the head waters of Wolf Creek. The distance was supposed to be upwards of thirty miles. In Jan. 1781 he was drafted as a soldier from Augusta County and marched in the company of Capt. Thomas HICKLIN, Lt. Joseph GIVIN and Ens. Thomas WRIGHT in the regiment of Col. Samuel MATHEWS. At that time he lived in Augusta County. He crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains at Rockfish Gap and then marched to Richmond and down James River to Sandy Point where the company crossed the river and to Camp Carson in the Dismal Swamp near Portsmouth. He was stationed there the greater part of the winter and then marched with the army in the spring to Murdaugh's Mills nearer Portsmouth where he remained until 9 April 1781 when discharged. In one engagement in sight of Portsmouth, Capt. CUNNINGHAM from Rockbridge County was wounded in the groin. There was also a soldier wounded in the leg and placed in a carriage and borne off the field. He was several times engaged in routing the piquet guard of the enemy on this tour. He was a sergeant.

Hello all Bradshaw seekers, re Ken's message asking if anyone would like a picture of John Bradshaw 1586-1659. I expect that like me, many of you have a family 'legend' that we are related to him. To remind you all, he was the Justice who presided at the trial of and delivered sentence on King Charles 1 who was then beheaded in 1649. In fear of assassination attempts John Bradshaw wore a hat with 1" wide strips of metal in the crown, between the leather outer and the lining. I was surprised recently to find it on display at the Ashmoleum Museum, Oxford, UK, (next door to Guy Fawkes lantern.) By the way does anyone know anything of RICHARD BRADSHAW who married Charlotte Dudding in Maidstone Kent UK in 1862. He worked in paper mills in Somerset and Kent then went to India to 'set up a paper mill' but died before the family could join him. His widow Charlotte and three children, Richard, Charlotte and Ada continued to live in Maidstone. I can find no sign of Richard (senior) before his marriage nor his death overseas. Please can anyone help? Margaret [email protected]
