Connie, >... my husband, Doug is a descendant of the Bradshaws of Perry County.... I'm not sure if there is a Bradshaw connection, so I'll tell you what I know about "mine": Joseph (1810-1866) and Ellen (WELCH) BRADSHAW (1817-aft1883), both born in Ireland, came to the US ca. 1848 with their 3 children, Patrick, James and Joanna (called "Joey") . Their 4th child, John (my GGgrandfather) was born in 1850 in Vermont. They lived for a short time at Elyria, Ohio, then settled in Somerset, Reading twp, Perry Co. They were Catholic. Both Patrick and James were Civil War veterans. John moved to Hopewell twp, near Glenford where he married Ann Catharine Ice in 1874. The others stayed in Somerset, I think. I know there were other Bradshaws and Welches in other parts of Perry Co. at the same time. Perhaps they immigrated together and are related, I wish I knew. Wish I could be of more help, Jennifer Arn in CA
