Notes for David Harvey Bradshaw
His death certificate records D. H. Bradshaw, age 63 years 9 months 24 days, born 23 May 1849 in Fleming Co., Ky, died 16 March 1913 in Fleming Co., Ky, married, father Harve Bradshaw, mother’s maiden name Bertha Bradshaw, both born in Fleming Co., Ky, dause of death Addisons Disease, informant Math Spurlock, Colfax, Ky, burial in Mt. Pisgah Cemetery.
Notes for Abigail Plank
Her death certificate records Abbie Hall, age 71 years 11 months 15 days, born 1 July 1870 in Kentucky, died 16 June 1942 in Silver Creek township, Greene Co., Ohio, widow of David Bradshaw and _ Hall (two lines in the spouse field, with David Bradshaw on the top, and Hall with no given name below), father Frank Cooper, mother’s maiden name Amanda not known, both born in Kentucky, cause of death coronary heart disease, informant Irene Carter, Jamestown, Ohio, burial in Fariview Cemetery.
The reported birthdate is very inconsistent with census records, which show her as age 3 in 1880, and as age 24 born July 1875 in 1900. I am using the 1875 date, but it might really be 1876.
Her maiden name was given as Plank on her 1892 marriage record, as well as it being given as her maiden name in the birth record for her daughter Irene. The 1880 census is unclear whether she is intended to be listed as a Birk (Burk) or Plank. See her mother’s notes for details.
Census
In the 1940 census she was listed in Bowersville, Adams Co., Ohio, with her daughter Emma and Emma’s husband Thomas Reed, as Abba Hall, mother-in-law, age 68, widowed, b. Ky.
