      According to Jim Young, John Bradshaw's last name changed to BRATCHER in 1787 and that spelling was carried the rest of his life. (Note) This probably happened due to the illiteracy in those days. So many people could not read or write that a lot of times when someone spelled the names on different forms the spellings were numerous for the same people. The last recorded instance of the name John BRATCHER in Bedford County was the 1803 tax list.

      Paid tithe: 1783, Bedford County, Virginia
