  Notes	"Henrico County, Virginia Deeds 1677-1705" by Benjamin B. Weisiger III, 1996, pg. 104 Wills Deeds Etc. 1697-1704: p.73 Edward Jones and Mary his wife for 5,600 lbs. tobacco made over to John Pleasants 180 acres, part of land which was their brother Field's, by deed of mortgage 4 April 1694. Mortgage has not been paid, and Pleasants sells said land to Gilly Groomarrin for 5,500 lbs. tobacco, reserving mineral rights. 14 March 1697/8 Wit: Fra. Reeve, ELIZABETH BRADSHAW Signed: John Pleasants Recorded 1 April 1698 This is the only reference I can find for Elizabeth Bradshaw linking her to the Pleasants family so far. There is a strong inference here in so far as this transaction has nothing to do with her other than the possibility that she was related to John Pleasants. This is still being checked. There is a researcher who says that his will has the signature of Elizabeth Bradshaw on it, but I can find no proof of that so far. There is also the possibility that her last name was JONES or even GROOMARRIN since she was witnessing this deed.

  A certain WILLIAM BRADSHAW (born in Henrico Parish circa 1690 - died 1747/48) appears in Henrico Court records as early as 6th June 1711, when he receives a pewter dish from the last will of Anne PERRIN(T ?) (PYRANT /). In 1712, at age 22, he married Judith SCRUGGS (or Snuggs, or Suggs ?), born about 1696/98 - died 10th Juy 1749, daughter of Charles SCRUGGS (1665-1718) and his wife Mary Field Jones. Judith was probably no older than 16 when she married (perhaps as young as 14). William and Judith lived in Virginia on the north side of the James River on land she inherited from her mother's family (the Field's) and land that was purchased from other members of the Field family. At one time William Bradshaw owned 1,530 contiguous acres in Cumberland County, Virginia. Part of his land was located at a place known today as Maxey's Mill. The last of this land was sold in 1777 by a grandson of William. The descendants of William and Judith Bradshaw migrated to North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, and westward. Other accounts of his death in other databases list the date of death as December 18, 1748 in Cumberland Co., Virginia. As of this time I have not found out which date and place is correct. William Bradshaw's will was recorded 15 September 1747. His wife Judith was executrix of the estate with John Merriman and Benjamin Bradshaw, security. (Goochland County Order Book 6, p. 375.) Goochland Co., VA Order Book 6 p 375 15 Sep 1747 Judith Bradshaw comes into Court and makes Oath that William Bradshaw deceased died without any will so far as she knows or believes and on her motion a certificate is granted her for obtaining letters of Administration in due form. John Merriman and Benjamin Bradshaw entering themselves security for the same. Ordered that Benjamin Mosby, Hezeekiah Mosby, Philip Poindexter and Samuel Scott or any three of them being first sworn before some Justice of the Peace do appraise the Estate of William Bradshaw deceased and that his Administratrisc do return an Inventory thereof to the next Court.
