- Information on Josiah Bradshaw was shared with me (Pip Sheppard) in the 1990s by researcher George J. Rogers. Mr. Rogers stated that Josiah's parents were William (1690-17 Dec 1748 in Cumberland County, Virginia) and Judith Scruggs Bradshaw (marr. 1712, Cumberland County, Virginia), but without evidence. I am still working on this (Pip).
