Notes for Sarah C. Bradshaw
Bath Co., Ky birth records list a daughter S. C. Bradshaw born 16 Nov 1858, father Thomas Bradshaw, mother’s maiden name Minerva Hawkins. (I do not know if the father’s name is in error, or if Thomas was another given name of Harvey.)

Her death certificate records Sarah C. Markwell, age 88 years 11 months 18 days, born 15 Nov 1858 in Rowan Co., died 2 Nov 1947 in Enterprise, Carter Co., Ky, widow of Londy Markwell, father Harvey Bradshaw, mother’s maiden name Mary Hendricks, both born in Ky, cause of death broken hip, informant blank, burial in Markwell Cemetery.

According to the cemetery survey CD by the Rowan Co. Historical Society, her gravestone has the dates 15 Nov 1858 - 2 Nov 1917, but that apparently represents a transcription error.
