I think Susannah Bradshaw is my gggrandmother. She is Susannah Welch b:abt 1830 IL to Morris and Mary Shelley Welch, and married Phillip Bradshaw 2 Apr. 1845 in Pike County, IL. Phillip died abt 1856. The only children I have proof of are Louisa and Barney, but they had 3 more children. In 1850 census shows Jesse and Mary. They also had a son George Washington. I cannot find her in 1860. They may have been in MO. Susannah supposedly married 4 times with Joel Meadows being her second husband. I did find Joel and wife Amelia (Alsbury) in Barry Pike IL 1860 1860 Barry Pike IL dwelling 309 Josep Medaull 29 farmer TN Amelia 27 IL Brice 11 IL Charles 7 IL James 5 IL Joel 4 IL Mary 1 IL George 3/12 IL Later I found Susan Medoes in Barry 1880 (I think it's her) 1880 Barry Pike Co dwelling 463 Susan MEDOES Self W Female W 50 IL Keeping House NY NY (abt 1830) Deama MEDOES Dau S Female W 14 IL At Home MO IL (abt 1866) John W. MEDOES Son S Male W 12 IL At Home MO IL (abt 1868) A person in MO who is researching a son of hers, George Washington told me Susannah/Susan was married 4 times and this kind of fits her. She supposedly married the Parrick in AR, but she keeps showing back up in Barry. I am sure this is her in 1900 and 1910 because she has a gr-son Samuel Hinch living with her and her daughter Louisa married Perry Hinch and had son Samuel. 1900 census Barry twp Pike Co.,IL enumerated 25th June 1900 ED#109 pg 17A line 6-8 dwelling 400 family 418 Parrick, Susan head F W Mar. 1830 wd 70y -11 children - 4 living IL NY NY can't read/write owns home Hinch, Samuel gr-son Mar. 1875 M W S 25y - IL IL IL day laborer Guthrie, Benjamin roomer M W S Apr. 1877 - 23y IL OH OH day laborer 1910 Barry twp Pike Co IL April 22, 1910 lines 96-98 dwelling 190 page 7B ED 122 Parrick, Susannah head F W 80 Mx4 wd IL NY NY owns home Dawson, Mary E. boarder F W 63 Mx1 wd IL TN KY Hinch, Samuel W. jr. gr-son 35 M W S IL IL MO laborer farm Susannah died 20 Jan. 1917 in Barry at age 86y 10m 1d
