Hi all, This is my first time posting, although I have monitored the info for a couple of weeks. Guess if I don't post, I'll never find out if someone else is working on the same line!! My g-grandfather was Louis Madison BRADSHAW, b 27 Dec 1927 in TN; m 2 Sep 1852 (possibly in Jackson Co., AL) to Ann Caroline TONEY. He died 1 Nov 1909 in Collin Co., TX and she died 7 Mar 1905, also in Collin Co., TX. Louis Madison's father was supposedly named John and I've been told that both John and Louis were "suppliers of goods" during the civil war and were both captured and helf for a period of time. Louis Madison and Ann Caroline moved from AL to TX in the mid-1880's, along with their children and their families. Their children (all born in AL) were: Richard Anderson, b 28 Aug 1853, AL; m Nancy Jane TONEY Mary Eliza, b 25 May 1855; m Frank WESTDYKE John Gipson, b 30 Sep 1856; m Sarah (?) Samuel Genet, b 8 Nov 1858; m Ellen Maude MITCHELL George Washington, b 30 Apr 1860; m (1) Mary Etta MOONEY, (2) Belle HARRAD James Franklin, b 5 Aug 1862; m (1) Lucinda Jane REAVES, (2) Mary Lou NORRELL Henry A., b 20 Mar 1864; d 26 Jan 1865 Solomon Louis, b 30 Mar 1866; m Mattie STEVENS Robert Lee, b 27 Sep 1868; m Sarah Jane MOONEY Bettie B., b 14 May 1870; d 11 June 1871 William Walter, b 30 Apr 1871; m Mary Elvira HOLDER Winnie Susan, b 31 Mar 1873; m William L. HARRED George Washington had 19 children; James Franklin had 14; so there are lots of our BRADSHAW kin out there. I have lots of information on George Washington's descendants and William Walter's (my grandfather).
