    (signed) Harberson Bradshaw

    Signed, sealed and delivered as the last will and testament of Harberson BRADSHAW in the

    presence of us -

    Jas. R. BENSON, James ROBINSON

    Stafford County Court, May the 8th., 1843

    The last will and testament of Harberson BRADSHAW deceased, was this day proved by the oaths of the witnesses thereto and ordered to be recorded and on the motion of Uriah H. BRADSHAW, the Executor therein named who made oath thereto and entered into bond with security conditioned as the law directs, a certificate is granted him for obtaining a probate thereof in due form.

    Teste (can't read the rest)

    This will was so vague that his son, Rodney B. BRADSHAW had to bring suit in Chancery Court to seek a partition of the 116 acres of land. (See notes for Rodney B. BRADSHAW)

    From the book "They Called Stafford Home" by Jerrilynn Eby, 1997, pg. 293:

    MOUNT PLEASANT--an old BRADSHAW family farm that was between Highland Home (a farm owned by the Lee family) and U. S. Rt. 1. The old house there was built c.1811. Mount Pleasant subdivision now occupies the land. This home was probably built by his father.

    Harberson is not listed in the chancery suit as an heir of Jeremiah, however, there is evidence that he was a son:

    1..In an interview by J. Douglas BRADSHAW with Harry Barksdale BRADSHAW, Harry said that he remembered his father, Charles Mason BRADSHAW, who was a son of Zachariah, remembered being visited occasionally by Rodney BRADSHAW, son of Harberson BRADSHAW, and Cumberland George BRADSHAW, son of Landon Carter BRADSHAW, and said that they always called each other "cousin".

    2..They, Zachariah and Harberson, had farms adjoining each other in Stafford County, Va.

    3..They are the only BRADSHAWS listed in the 1810 census for Stafford County, Va. where both are recorded as slave owners.

    4..They are recorded as living near each other in the census' for the years 1820, 1830 and 1840 also.

    5..Letter from Mr. J. Douglas BRADSHAW to Mr. Bolivar Nelson BRADSHAW, "My great-great grandparents were Zachariah and Elizabeth BRADSHAW. I believe that Zachariah and Harberson were brothers..."
