Hi, I am looking for Joseph Bradshaw who was born 8-26-1786 (in NC, I think). I have a bible that was bought in 1785 and recorded his birth on 8-26-1786. It doesn't say where. I think he was the father of John Bradshaw born May 7 (1822,25 or 34) but he could have been the grandfather. All I have is the census for John which puts his most likely birth at 1825 and says he was born in SC and his parents in NC and a list from the bible which shows John and his siblings as being born between 1825 and 1840. This could also make John and his siblings the product of a second marriage. So, does anyone have a Joe Bradshaw born in NC? John's siblings were Thelma b 6-19-1827, Nancy b 10-25-1828, Irene b 7-28-1830, Mary b 7-17-1832, ( gap where John shows up as b 5-7-1834 recorded elsewhere in the same bible as 1822), Joseph b 5-9-1836, Margaret b 5-13-1838, Isaiah b 10-17-1840. Isaiah served in the Confederate Army 34th Miss Infantry so John's family probably moved to MS while they were children. Joseph married Elizabeth A. Randolph on 7-9-1861. As they had 3 children during the course of the war I don't suppose he was in the army. Their children were Margaret Jane b 4-12-1862 (just under the time allowed!), John Thomas b 9-24-1863, R. b 12-5-1864, Nancy b 10-17-1867 (named after his siter also born in Oct.?). Does anyone out there recognise any of my family? Thanks Joyce
