Ran across this when surfing and thought it might help someone. It isn’t my limb but the “trunk” seems to be the same. Note that spelling, punctuation, etc. is as in the original article. Source: http://www.starbase21.com/kybiog/adair/bradshaw.t&tt.txt Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 4th ed., 1887 Adair Co. TIMOLEON and TARLETON T. BRADSHAW, the former a native of Russell, the latter of Adair County, are the sons of Seath and Sarah G. (White) Bradshaw. Seath Bradshaw, born October 23, 1805, was a native of Burke County, N. C. He was the eighth of ten children, and when only five years of age was brought by his father to Russell County, KY., and shortly afterward to Adair. He always owned his own farm, and part of the time cultivated it with slave labor, being worth at one time nearly $20,000. He departed this life March 9, 1873. He had married, in 1828, Miss Sarah G. White, daughter of Thomas and Nancy (Abrell) White, natives of the Old Dominion. The names of the children born to Seath and Sarah Bradshaw are Octavia, wife of Aaron McClure; Casandra, wife of Charles F. Jones; Tarleton T.; Timoleon; Ann L., wife of J. G. White; Charlotta W.; and Millie F., wife of T. W. Montgomery, of whom all are living except Casandra. Mrs. Bradshaw died April 11, 1855, in the forty-eighth year of her age, and in life was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Seath Bradshaw, Sr., the grandfather of the gentlemen whose names head these lines, was a native of Virginia, from where he emigrated to North Carolina, and finally to Kentucky. He was married to Miss Ann Lowe, a native of Virginia, and the names of their children were William, Isaac, Isaiah, Elijah, Seath, Millie (Miller), Ann (Bradshaw, Mary (Wilson), and Charlotte (White). Of his sons, Isaac and Isaiah served in the war of 1812, and he himself was a Revolutionary veteran. Mrs. Bradshaw, his wife, was killed at the age of ninty-seven, being thrown from a horse. The Bradshaw family are of Irish origin, and sprang from one of two brothers who came from Ireland to America. William Bradshaw, the son of Seath Bradshaw, Sr., was a man of some celebrity in the history of the politics of this section, having served in the Senate of Kentucky. Tarleton T. Bradshaw, born April 2, 1832, was the third of Seath Bradshaw’s children. He began life by farming with his father, and this has since been his vocation. He had no inheritance, but at present owns about 400 acres on the line of Russell and Adair Counties, of which 75 acres are in cultivation. He has never been married, but has kept house with his sister, Charlotta W. Bradshaw, a number of years. Mr. Bradshaw enlisted October 4, 1861, in Company D, Fifth Kentucky Volunteer Cavalry, Federal service. He participated in many of the prominent battles without a wound or being taken Prisoner. He was the first sergeant of the company, and was mustered out of the service and received an honorable discharge at Louisville, May 17, 1865. Mr. Bradshaw has a fair library and is a great reader. He is a member of the Masonic order, and has been a life-long Democrat. Timoleon Bradshaw in youth received a good business education in the common schools of Adair County, and his occupation in life has been mostly in the line of merchandise. He was married to Miss Sally Wilson, a daughter of H. W. and Agnes A. (Johnston) Wilson, natives of Tayler County, and this marriage was blessed by the addition of four children: Betty C., Mary G., Effie T. and William E. He first sold goods at Russell Spring, but afterward and most of his life in Columbia, and does a flourishing trade in general merchandis. In connection with Mr. Bradshaw’s business, Mrs. Bradshaw handles a finely selected stock of millinery, in which she does a thriving business. The stock is worth at least $6,000, including general merchandise and millinery. Mr. and Mrs. Bradshaw are both members of the Christian Church, and Mr. Bradshaw is one of the trustees of the Columbia Christian College. All of the children of Mr. and Mrs. Bradshaw are living except their eldest, Bettie C., who died July 25, 1883. She was born March 4, 1863. She was a bright, intelligent girl in her youth, and at the age of thirteen became a member of the Christian Church. Her education was very thorough, and was completed at Columbia Christian College, where she graduated in June 1881, and after graduation was connected with it as teacher of painting in the Art Department, which position she held until her death. She left a large number of friends who mourned her demise, among whom was Miss Delray Taylor, an associate teacher in the same institution, who followed in a few brief months.

Christopher Bradshaw b 3 May 1785 d 15 May 1860. He m Mary Elizabeth "Polly" Davis September 1806 and they had twelve children. Need help with the birthdates of the children. Most of the children were born in Tennessee, probably Jefferson CO. Christopher became a Presbyterian Minister. After Polly died (where and when?) he remarried and lived in Vernon CO, MO. Christopher was the son of John and Nancy Agnes Clendenen Bradshaw. Thanks for any information. Elisabeth >

Hi All, I have an idea, what does everyone think about putting, along with the name, the place of interest in the subject line of your e-mail? Such as, VIRGINIA COMBS BRADSHAW, Va. as a subject? I would appreciate some feedback or other ideas. I know that i, for one, am saving all of the e-mails to a file and having the state on the subject line would help, among other reasons. Hopefully, this list will become more active and when it does, it will be a lot easier to eliminate the mail you don't need if the state is listed in the subject. WHAT DO YOU THINK??? Let me hear some thoughts on it. Anne

May have finally found something. In going back through my "written" notes I found a reference to ELIZABETH BRADSHAW as HOH in the 1790 NC census, only other members of the family was 1 female slave. Didn't have the county source with the note but it would have been either Lincoln or Burke County. Does any one have any information on this Elizabeth? "I am hoping it is Elizabeth Thompson Bradshaw and that I should start looking for a divorce record there." O.K. so I am grasping at straws at this point but that's the way it goes. Any help appreciated.

Thanks, Anne. That would probably eliminate this William Bradshaw as a potential fit for "my" William Bradshaw (who married Susannah Hutcheson around 1767). The only way it could be him would be if he divorced Susannah in Henry County, Virginia and then went back to Amelia County to marry someone else. Probably not. "ANNE B.

Hi Mark, I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you about William. I have WILLIAM as son of JOHN & PEGGY CLEMENTS BRADSHAW. WM. had 10 brothers and sisters. I don't have a d.o.b. for WILLIAM, but "Ancestors And Descendants..." by Bradshaw does say that he and his wife, MARY KIRKLAND removed to Abbeville, S. C. where he died sometime before 1826. Evidently he died before his mother. WILLIAM'S d.o.b. is totally up in the air as I have not been able to find any birth records for him as yet. If anyone else working on this line has copies of birth records for him or any of his siblings would you please post them to the list. Thanks! Anne

Carol I am researching the surnames Small and Bradshaw. I have old newspaper clippings from the Smith Center and Portis, Kansas area. One obit has the surname Bradshaw as a wife that was married in that area. I have also run across several Slater families there. It might be a place to look.

Thanks for the feedback, Anne. Yes, I am well aware that the suffix "Jr." didn't always distinguish father from son. However, it normally was used when there was another older person of that name in the same vicinity. Since William had still used the "Jr." after he moved to Pittsylvania County, I suspected it was not just to distinguish him from a similarly named uncle or cousin. Who knows? The thing that is really curious is that 1763 Amelia County tax list entry in which a William, William Jr., and John were all adult males in the same household. Since my William was married in or around Amelia County around 1767, I think that there is a strong possibility that he is the William, Jr. in this household. The second William disappeared from Amelia County in 1769, the same year that my William settled in Pittsylvania County. So, whose son might this William be? I had originally thought he was the son of John (b. ca. 1721|1722) who was mentioned in his will, but you (or someone) had indicated that John's son William was born 26 March 1783 and moved to Abbeville County, South Carolina. Are you sure about the 1783 birth date, which is about 30 years after his brother Jeremiah (b. ca. 1753)? And which William Bradshaw was it that married Mary Kirkland in Amelia County on 26 December 1783? My William had left that county in 1769. (His wife Susannah Hutcheson appears on the Henry|Franklin County tax lists in her own name starting in 1784. I don't have any indication of William's death, so maybe they just divorced and he moved back to Amelia County and married someone else.) "ANNE B.
