John Thomas BRADSHAW, retired farmer, 
Southampton Co. native, d. 22 Dec 1966, Norfolk, age 78, 
interred in Black Creek Baptist Church Cemetery*, 26 Dec 1966,

*Additional information: 

His bro Charlie's obit ("Tidewater News," Nov. 15, 1962, p. 6) gives 
   his father as Charlie Bradshaw [Sr.].  I have not find evidence to support 
   that Bettie was united with a Joseph or Charlie Bradshaw Sr., though it is 
   possible.  Rather, the bros may have adopted their mother's maiden name.

Their mother, Bettie BRADSHAW WOMBLE, is also buried there.
