Notes:
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 Rachel Broughton Between 1665 and 1702, Henrico County, Virginia.
