It appears to me that Benjamin Bradshaw https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bradshaw-793 whose profile shows a birthdate of 6 April 1732 in Prince George County Virginia, could not be the husband of Ann McBride who died in Goochland County Virginia between 19 Oct 1776 when her will was written and 15 Sep 1777 when said will was proven in court. Witnesses: Jo. Pleasants, John Curd Junr., & Joseph Lewis (Goochland County Virginia Deed Book 12, pp. 36-38 FHL film 31657) Names sons Benjamin, William, Edward, daughter Mary Curd, appoints sons Benjamin and William exec

On 18 Jul 1757 Grantor: Benjamin Bradshaw Grantee: John Bradshaw Witnesses: Thos.

(Goochland County Virginia Deed Book 7, pp. 178-179 FHL film 31655) Bradshaw-793 could not have made these land purchases in 1733 and 1734.
Will of Benjamin Bradshaw written: 2 Mar 1758 proved: 18 Aug 1761 Witnesses: James Johnson, Drury Murrell, & Judah Murrell Executor(s): “my wife” & “my Son” John Bradshaw (Goochland County Virginia Deed Book 8, pp. 179-180 FHL film 31655) Names wife Ann, sons John, Benjamin, William, daughter Judah Rodgers, granddaughter Judah Lain.

These two were a son Edward Bradshaw and a daughter Mary Curd Bradshaw.
I submit that the actual husband of Ann McBride was Benjamin Bradshaw of this profile https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bradshaw-536
I propose that Ann McBride (McBride-787) be disconnected from Bradshaw-793 and attached to Bradshaw-536. Any opinions?
