Anne Musser, I believe, posted on this rootsweb a few weeks ago the following: "To all my nephew John Bradshaw's children 5 pounds. To my nephew Robert Bradshawe's children 5 pounds." From the will of Dame Jane Skipwite in 1629. I sent a message to a person in the United Kingdom who does research and he replied to me as follows: It seems that Dame Jane SKIPWITH (notice he spelled it differently) was the widow of either Sir Richard Skipwith or Sir William Skipwith both of whom were knighted in 1603. They both lived in Leicestershire and were related to Sir Henry Skipwith who was created a baronet in 1622. Sir Henry's grandson emigrated to America after the death of King Charles I to avoid persecution by Cromwell, the family being ardent royalists. The wills of Sir Richard and Sir William and further research into other records of this notable family should reveal the Bradshaw connection." Before I pay the fee he wants to find out what information he might have and how or whether this relates to us, I would like to know whether anyone already has researched this information and has it to pass along. Thanks. Alene Bradshaw
