Margaret Peggy Bradshaw

Notes:

Margaret Bradshaw ancestors go back to England. One James Bradshaw and brother John was a first cousin to William Penn. James came to Pennsylvania to help William Penn and start a new life in this new land.
Margaret has a stone in Blackjack Cemetery in Carroll Co., Ark. She is not buried there, her descendants placed a stone there in her memory, because she is buried on what is now private property and the owners would not allow at stone to be placed there. I do not know when this was done, or by whom.

Isaac was believed to have been born in Shenandoah Co., VA. (Previously Dunmore Co., VA.) as his father William was a land holder in the county. Isaac was possibly a resident of Knox Co., Tenn. in 1799 as he was noted as a Bondman for his sister Martha Patsy at the time of her marriage to Alexander

Foster. Isaac was a resident of White Co., Tenn. at the time of his death. His Will dated 27 Sept. 1835, proven in White Co., Tenn.

These Bradshaw records are from Howard and Lee Ann Propst, 5639 Catherine Ave., La Grange, IL 60525. They have done extensive work on the Bradshaw, Scruggs, Field, and Jones families and have published their work in newsletters and journals specific to these families. The earliest Bradshaw ancestor they have proved is John.

1688--12 October: John Breidshew, aged 24 years or thereabouts, ...saith...that he the depont being servant to John Granger did (sometime last spring on a Sunday morning) see Mary the wife of the said John Granger say that John Womack had six fletches of bacon in his house besides middling and other small meat and had killed but one hogg out of his own stock that year. (Henrico Co. VA 1677-1739, Book 5, p. 10.)

1688--12 October: John Bradshaw aged 24 years or thereabouts examined and sworn saith that about two days before John Granger's tobacco house wherein was Sam'l Fowlers tobacco was burned Lain Fowler did say that had to have John Granger's barn...and that he would bring more danage on him the said Granger than he was aware of and the next day such was...day before the house was burned. Fowler said to Depont (John Bradshaw) that he dreamt Mary the wife of John Granger had fired the tobacco house and burnt all his tobacco. (Henrico Co. Records 1677-1739).

1688--October Court: John Bradshaw having attended two days as evidence for John Womack against Jno Granger has order granted his against Agent ye sd. Womack for 80 pounds of tobacco. (Henrico Co. VA Records 1677-1739, p. 286).

1690--Court: Richard Kennon patents 8,000 acres, headrights include: John Bradshaw. (Henrico Co. Va. Records 1677-1739, p. 327).

1696--1 June: John Bradshaw having attended two days as an evidence against Will Arrington on be halfe of ffra Reeve judgement is awarded against him the sd. Reeve for 80 pounds of tobacco according to the law with costs. (Henrico Co. Records 1677-1793, Book 3).

After the above records, no further records seem to exist on this John Bradshaw; however, very shortly the name of Elizabeth Bradshaw surfaces in Henrico County. It is believed that she was the wife of John. It is also believed that Larner, Benjamin, and William of Henrico and later Goochland and Cumberland counties and a younger John Bradshaw II were all descendants of this John and Elizabeth.

"Cavaliers and Pioneers" by Nell M. Nugent says Ed Walsh received 900 acres for bringing 18 people to Virginia. John Bradshaw was one of them.

It is yet to be found for sure when and how John Bradshaw arrived in the United States. One account has John Bradshaw arriving in America in 1687 on the ship "Endeavor". Another account of his arrival as coming from Ireland transported by Richard Kennon in 1683. This account is somewhat backed up by court records in Henrico County, Virginia, which show this transportation Kennon did not put in his claim for land until April 1, 1690, at which time he put in a claim for 8,000 acres.

Henrico Co., Va. Court Orders 1678 - 1693: pg 362 April 1, 1690 There is due to Mr. Richard Kennon , 8000 acres for importation of ...... John Bradshaw....... The list includes 89 whites and 70 Negroes.

Ages as given by deposition in county records in 1688 - 1697 Book, Henrico Co., Va. October 12 1688, pg 10 John Bradshaw, 24. This puts his birth year at 1664.

There is also an account that John, the 4th child of Ralph and Rachel sailed from England with his brother James, and his brother-in-law, Admiral William Crispin around 1680. They stopped over in Barbados, where the Admiral died, and they went on to Philadelphia, where their cousin, William Penn, was presiding. Some researchers then maintain that he went on after a bit to Henrico County, Virginia. There, he surrounded himself with people of the same names that appeared with his family back in England: Robinson, Marham, Radcliffe, etc.

John married Elizabeth Pleasants Between 1665 and 1702, Henrico County, Virginia. Elizabeth (daughter of John William Pleasants, daughter of John Pleasants and Jane Larcome) was born 1668, Henrico, Virginia, United States; died 1721, Henrico, Virginia, United States. [Group Sheet]

John married Elizabeth Harper Between 1683 and 1697, Henrico County, Virginia. Elizabeth was born Abt 1668, Henrico, Virginia, United States; died Between 1694 and 1697, Henrico, Virginia, United States. [Group Sheet]

Francis married Todd Jon DiSalvo. (son of Ronald John DiSalvo and Mavis Irene Newton) [Group Sheet]

Notes:

 

Joel was named after his grandfather Joel Jefferson Bradshaw. Joel and William are suspected to be twins as Joel's head stone Aug 10, 1800 with William's Aug,27 1800. After Joel married they settled on a farm in White Co., Tenn. Moving to Ark. on Mar 22 1832.

He built his home near a large ever flowing spring to what is now the corner of Main and College streets. In 1839 they

moved to the community of Blackjack where they resided until 1849. By 1850 the family settled in Tanny Co., MO. and is reported to have been buried in an area defined as table Rock Lake, but removed during the lakes construction to Kimberling City, Stone Co., MO.

Joel and at least two brothers were in Carroll in 1832. Joel homesteaded 180 acres where Berryville, Ark., is now located. He sold the first building lot to Henderson Barry for a store building in

1850. Berryville, Ark., was named after Henderson Barry.
