I came across this Historical Map of Chateaugay, NY\u00a0from an 1876 Atlas of Franklin County, NY<\/a>\u00a0It’s got a lot of incredible information in it, largely because it shows the names of businesses and property owners. \u00a0In District 13 at the top of the page, you can see the name “P. Bradshaw” right underneath the 13. \u00a0There’s a fair amount to unpack here.<\/p>\n

First<\/strong> – how cool is it that our farm was in District 13? \u00a0Sounds sort of post-apocalyptic.<\/p>\n

Second<\/strong> – This map was published in 1876, \u00a0so it proves that we were living on the family farm as early as 1876. \u00a0 Also there are two dots associated with P. Bradshaw, \u00a0one near the schoolhouse (SH)\u00a0\u00a0on the corner, and one farther East. The dots appear to be buildings or dwellings. \u00a0The dot near the schoolhouse is definitely the main farm. The dot on the right (East) is right where “The Other Place” \u00a0was. \u00a0The building(s) are north of the brook, which puts them right about where dad showed me a low spot in on of the pastures that he thought was a cellar hole.<\/p>\n

So – I guess it’s time to rent some ground-penetrating radar equipment and look for the old homestead.<\/p>\n

Third<\/strong>\u00a0– South of “P. Bradshaw” but still in District 13 is “R. Bradshaw”. \u00a0That would have been Richard Bradshaw, \u00a0Pat’s brother. \u00a0 \u00a0There is\u00a0an anecdote that Pat and Richard’s families would get together every Sunday, and Pat and Richard would go up the hay loft in the barn and polish off an imperial quart of Canadian Whiskey. \u00a0 I can still hear Uncle John telling me that one.<\/p>\n

Anyways, this map has enough info for lots more posts.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
