I found a plat for John Bradcher/Bradshaw of Bedford County in my files. This plat helps fill in a hole in the land records. I have been disconcerted by the apparent gap in time between the sale and purchase of land for John Bratcher/Bradshaw in the county. There are apparently still some missing land records. I also received the estate records of Arthur Bratchey from Abbeville, South Carolina. Both of these documents have been added to the Bratcher Family History web site. Richard W.
