Zachariah Bradshaw

Notes:

He is listed as a non-resident of the state of Virginia in the chancery suit in Prince Edward Co., Va. for a division of the estates of his grandparents, John and Margaret Bradshaw, in 1826. In actuality he was living in Stafford Co., Va. where his plantation was right next to that of his brother, Harberson Bradshaw.

ZACHARIAH BRADSHAW

As evidenced by the following document, apparently after 10 years the parties to the Chancery Suit filed still had not located the descendants of Jeremiah Bradshaw. There is no explanation for this except that they apparently didn't keep in touch with each other.
March 16, 1836, filed by one of the commissioners, John Foster:

Pursuant to the several decrees made in the case of Bradshaw vs. Bradshaw heirs, the commissioners have paid the several portions of each and all of the parties interested in the decree made in this cause, except the joint portion of ____ Edson and Polly, his wife, ____ Logan and Phoebe, his wife, Zachariah Bradshaw and Jane Bradshaw, heirs of Jeremiah Bradshaw, deceased. The said joint portion is $160.06 with interest from 18 Jan. 1828 till the 16th. Nov. 1830 at which time the money was rcd. by the commrs. and has been ready for them on application at all times since. Your commrs. do not know the parties, nor do they know where they live, but have been informed by Major Dickinson, Administrator of John Bradshaw, Snr., decd., that Zachariah and Jane Bradshaw is now dead, leaving no issue & the portion of the one that is dead will of course be reserved by the commrs. for the further disposition of the court.

Not only was there no contact between these branches of the family, but there were three, possibly four of Jeremiah's children that weren't even mentioned in the Bill in Chancery, Harberson, Henry who was more than likely a son, John, and William. (see notes for William Bradshaw)

Zachariah is listed in the 1807 Personal Property Tax List as paying a tax of .56 on one tithe, one horse and one male slave between 12 and 16 years old.
On the 1809 list he paid a tax of .12 on one tithe and one horse. The slave must have been sold. In 1810 his tax was the same.
In 1812 he paid a tax of .12 on one tithe and two horses.
The 1810 census for Stafford Co., Va. lists him as being 26-44 years old, 1 male under 10, 1 female 26-44, 1 female over 45, and having 2 slaves.
The 1820 census for the same county lists him as being 45 or more, 3 males under 10, 1 male 10-15, 1 female under 10, 1 female 26-44, having 2 slaves. He is listed as being in the house counted #700 and Harberson is listed as house #702.
The 1830 census for the same county lists him as being age 50-60, 1 male 10-15, 1 female 40-50, owning 7 slaves.
The 1840 census for the same county lists him as being age 60-70, 1 male 20-30, 1 female 30-40, owning 5 male slaves. By the time of this census his wife had died. This is the last census listing Zachariah.

February 26, 1839, Book LL, pg. 419- Deed of Trust to secure $326.62 for Ranson Hickerson. It was forclosed on April 13 and the property was sold to David S. Coakley at public auction for $760.00. This deed is recorded in Book MM, pg. 45.
March 1, 1839, Book LL, pg. 416- Deed from the Thomas Seddon Estate to Zachariah for 197.75 acres. This land is believed to be the land owned later by Charles Mason Bradshaw which was known as "Pleasant Hill".

Zachariah died sometime before the 1850 census. There are no probate records in Stafford for him. Apparantly, after he lost his farm to foreclosure he never bought another one.

The W.P.A., an agency of the government, was recording and cataloging the historically significant homes, churches and buildings in Stafford Co., Va. in the 1930's. "Pleasant Hill", also known as "Mount Pleasant", was one of those listed. The report is on pg. 274.
SUBJECT:
Mount Pleasant
LOCATION:
9 miles northwest of Falmouth, Va.; thence .1 mile north of Route #612.
DATE:
About 1811
OWNERS:
John H. Bradshaw was the first owner. Charles Bradshaw owned it for a number of years. Mr. C. E. Ramsey, present owner. (John H. Bradshaw could not have built this home as he was born in the same year the house was supposed to be built. It probably was built by Zachariah Bradshaw, his father.)
DESCRIPTION:
This house was probably given the name "Mount Pleasant" because of it's location. The main part of the original house is today used as a kitchen.
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:
When the northern soldiers came down the old Warrenton Road, which is Route #612 today, they camped on this farm and had to get out in the fields as the mud was so deep in places. The "Mud March", or the road which they came over, is directly in front of this house.
SOURCES OF INFORMATION:
Informants: Mrs. Charles Ramsey, Va., Mrs. R. L. Jones

Zachariah was in the War of 1812 as a private in the 4th Regiment Virginia Militia under the command of Lt. Col. LUCAS, Maj. WILLS and Capt. Arthur SMITH'S Company of Infantry. He is on the muster rolls for August 1, 1812 through January 31, 1813. On his payroll papers he was paid $6.66 per month.

Superior Court of Fredericksburg has 2 listings in Law Order H, pgs. 217 and 228 for William Bradshaw being charged with larceny.

William married John Roberson. (son of Roberson and Fereby Bradshaw) [Group Sheet]

Notes:

There is a discrepancy concerning his date of birth. On his application for marriage in 1854 he says he is 40 years old which would make his date of birth 1814. J. Douglas Bradshaw, in his book, says his date of birth is 1811.

1840 Stafford Co., Va. census lists his household as: his age being 20-30 years, 1 female age 20-30 (probably his wife Ann), 1 female age 60-70 (probably his mother-in-law). No slaves are listed, but one free male colored person age 10-24 is listed as living in the household.

1850 Stafford Co., Va. census lists him as being 39 years old, his wife, Ann, age 28, and their daughter Virginia as age 12. He is listed as a farmer and his real estate is valued as $600.00.

1860 Stafford Co., Va. census lists his household as: his age as 46, his wife, Enfield, as age 28, his children as Alice age 4, Charles age 3, Virginia age 1, and Sarah age 6 a mulatto. His occupation is farmer and the value of his real estate is $3000.00. His personal property is valued at $600.00.

1870 Stafford Co., Va. census lists him as age 53, farmer, real estate value $2000.00 and personal property at $400.00. The family consisted of Alice age 13, Charles age 11, Fannie age 9, John age 8 and Lucy age 7. His wife had died.

1880 Stafford Co., Va. census lists the household as headed by Charles age 20 (John had died), Mary A. (Alice) age 29, Fannie F. age 24, John F. age 19 and Lucy age 16.

John H. Bradshaw died without a will and the administration of the estate was in the Stafford Co., Va. Court.

Notes:

1840 census for Stafford Co., Va. lists him as being age 20-30 and his family as 1 female age 30-40 and 2 males under 5. No slaves were listed.

1850 census for Stafford Co., Va. lists him as being 38 (mistake), a carpenter and his family was Martha, age 46, Alexander H., age 17, Robet T. age 15, Cumberland G. age 10, Sarah E. age 6 and William J. age 3. Everyone was listed as born in Va.

CD#309, 1850 Virginia Census for Culpeper County, Virginia:

Martha, 46, female
Robert T., 15, male, farmer
Alexander H.,17, male
Cumberland G.,10, male
Sarah E., 6, female

I don't know why he would be listed in two different counties in the same census unless he moved between the date of one census and the date of the other.

CUMBERLAND BRADSHAW

An Old Confederate Passed Over The River

It is with deep regret we chronicle the death of an aged citizen, Mr. Cumberland Bradshaw who passed to his reward at his home near Richardsville, Culpeper county, on Thursday, Feb. 25, 1915, aged 74 years, after an ilness of only a few days. He was stricken on Sunday morning with paralysis and never rallied from the effects. He was an old Confederate veteran and has answered to the last roll call, and gone to join his comrads who have gone before. So few of them are left behind that a few more years and all of them will be gone hence to the better land. He was wounded during the conflicts of '61 and '65 and has always preserved the bullets, the same being buried with him. He will be greatly missed by all in the community of his abode, as he posessed such a kind and generous disposition. He is survived by one daughter, of Richmond, and several brothers, also one sister.

Funeral services were conducted on Friday at 2 p.m. by Rev. J. D. Shopoff and interment in the family burying ground beside his wife, who preceeded him to the grave some years ago.

She was the daughter of Cumberland Bradshaw and was born in Culpeper county, Va., January 29th, 1882, and was married in Fredericksburg September 3rd, 1902. Her married life, though brief, was a very happy one. She was a gentle and amiable woman, and though she had not openly identified herself with any church, she professed faith in Christ as her personal Saviour, and, as we believe, enjoys the rest that remains to the people of God. She leaves behind her to mourn her early death, besides many warm friends, her grief stricken husband, an aged father and two sisters, Mrs. Martha Anderson and Mrs. Kate Riley. May God of all grace sustain and comfort them in their bereavement and sanctify their great sorrow to their present and eternal good, so that when they are done with the sorrow and separation of earth they may be reunited in heaven.

Sister, thou was mild and lovely,

Gentle as the summer breeze,

Pleasant as the air of evening,

When it floats among the trees.

Peaceful be thy silent slumber,

Peaceful in the grave so low,

Thou no more wilt join our number,

Thou no more our songs shall know.

Yet again we hope to meet thee,

When the day of life is fled;

Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,

Where no farewell tear is shed.
