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.
