We have a brick wall on an ancestor that is supposed to have been born in Culpeper, Culpeper Co., VA, September 6, 1859: William Edward BRADY. By the age of 20, he was living in Austin, Travis Co., TX, in the home of Rev. Elijah HANSBROUGH and Unity HARRIS Hansbrough (Church of Christ), along with his future wife, Sarah Eldora "Dora" COCHRAN. Dora was a foster child of the Hansbroughs, having been orphaned at the age of 8. We have two sister's names for William: Laura BRADY (m. Turbeville) and Alice Ann Amanda BRADY (m. Newberry). William's father is supposed to have been born in 1830, but that's all our family legend has. The Hansbroughs were originally from Louisa Co., VA, so there may have been some family and/or church tie-in that led William to their home by 1880. Thank you for your time and any assistance you may offer!! Lisa L. Moore/Smith on behalf of Margie Maxine (Cochran BRADY) KEMPE Smith Sarasota, FL 1SmartCookie@comcast.net
