Note: the BRADSHAWs in the 1850 Census of Todd Co., KY, were only recently (after 1840) arrived from Virginia, so they do not appear to be related — except possibly distantly — to these BRADSHAWs, who were early to Christian Co., KY.

He is the only BRADSHAW in Warren Co. and the only Edward BRADSHAW on the disk.

1810 Bradshaw, Edward KY Christian Co. p. 110 00001-2001004

These data should read:

20010-00001-04

which indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

2 males 9 or under 1800-1810 = Benjamin (b. 1810/11)
= Albert (b. 1809/10)

1 male 26-44 1765-1784 = Edward

0 females 26-44 1765-1784 = Frances

1 female 45 or over in or bef. 1765 =

4 slaves all ages in or bef. 1810 = names unknown

Surely Frances was tallied in the wrong age-class. The only other BRADSHAW in Christian County is a distant cousin, Charles BRADSHAW.

Where's Julianna? There's a mature couple living with them; hard to say who they might be.

Still don't know who this other older male is. Both Edward's and Frances's fathers are deceased.
