Surnames: BRADSHER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/gh.2ADI/5426.3.1 Message Board Post: Thanks so much for your replies to my query. I had found the Bradsher family in the census and also the marriage record. I am particularly interested in knowing the Bradsher line they descend from This is a very small group of people who spell the name that way. Some have gone to Bradshaw, but the ones who spell it that way can be traced back to Person and Caswell Counties, NC. The family is of the British Isles, but the spelling of the name and its similarity to many other names make it very hard to trace. It has been spelled and misspelled many different ways continuing to the present day.
