  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.

• Notes

  The following records, found by Howard and Lee Ann Propst, suggest that John Pleasants, Sr. may have been the father of Elizabeth Bradshaw. 1698--1 April: John Pleasants, Sr. sells to Gilly Gromarin for 5,000 pound of tobacco 180 acres of land he had mortgaged from Edward and Mary Jones. The deed was witnessed by Frances Reeve and Elizabeth Bradshaw. (Henrico Co. VA W/D1697-1704, p. 73.) 1698--1 June: John Pleasants prepared his will which mentioned a daughter named Elizabeth. Pleasant's signature was witnessed by his wife Jane and Elizabeth Bradshaw. (Henrico Co. VA Records 1677-1739). After the death of John Bradshaw, Elizabeth married Arthur Marcum, which is proved by Henrico County records naming Elizabeth as wife of Arthur Marcum and as mother of Benjamin Bradshaw. (Henrico Co. VA Court Orders 1710-1714, pp. 80, 84, 89, 248.) From Richard Bradshaw: In March 1698 ELIZABETH BRADSHAW, William's widowed mother (so it seems) had appeared in Henrico Court, along with Francis REEVES, as witnesses for John PLEASANTS. Pleasants had made a mortgage to Edward and MARY JONES, dated 4th April 1694. Pleasants paid them 5600 lbs of tobacco and they deeded over to him 180 acres of land which was said to have been the land of their brother FIELD's. By 1698 the Jones's had not repaid the mortgage and Pleasants was going to sell the land to Gilly GROOMARRIN (MARRIN ?) for 5500 lbs of tobacco, reserving the mineral right to himself.
