Henry appears to have been their only son, and probably lived with his parents at Bradshaw Hall. He died in 1523, and his will, made two years before, is a curiously worded one, with quaint spelling. Having satisfied his conscience with regard to the Church, and dealt with the two farms in his occupation, the testator proceeds:— “I beqweyth to my wyff Elizabeyth to hyr dowary & joyntre a mesne place off land callyd ye Tornecrofts w^t all the aportenās, and all ye Bradmarchys w^t the aportenās unto the end of hyr lyffe & afft^r to ye performacyon off my Wyll y^t ys to Wytt unto my too sonnes Wyllm & Henry unto y^e tyme that Rych^d Bradsha son off John Bradsha cum to ye age off xxi - zeres ffully.” At the close of the will, the testator mentions John as his eldest son at that time deceased. Richard therefore was legally the heir to the estates, and, as a minor, was left under the guardianship of his two uncles. Henry then expresses the desire that: “my wyffe & my sayd sonnes kepe to scole the sayd Rych: unto he come to ye age of xxi yeres fully yff he will, & mey be att theyr kepyng & yf noo I wyll y^t my wyffe & my sayd sonnes Wyllam & Henre gyffe to y^e sayyd Rych Bradsha xl^s off gud money yerely to hys ffynding unto ye tyme y^t Rych Bradsha cum to y^e age of xxi yeres.” His two sons, William and Henry, and his daughter, Margaret, have their fair share of his estate, and he beseeches “Sir Godfrey Foljamb of Walton Knt & Sir George Savage off y^e Spetyll parson to be y^e Ouersears off thys sympull testamett & last Wyll & to be gode maysturs to my wyffe & too my sonnes ffor Goddes sake & trew preyars ffor them qwycke & ded.” Henry Bradshawe’s wife Elizabeth was one of the daughters of Robert Eyre, the second son of William Eyre, of North Lees, near Hathersage. His deceased eldest son, John Bradshawe, had married, according to _Lincolnshire Pedigrees_,[45] Isabella, daughter of Peter Ashton, of Halmear Grange, in Spalding, co. Lincoln. Both he and his wife had apparently died leaving only one child, Richard, who could have been little more than ten years of age when, in 1523, his grandfather’s death placed him as heir to the estates, under the guardianship of his two uncles.

Possibly Richard was not easy of control, and did not remain at school sufficiently long to learn wisdom, for before he could have arrived at the age of thirty he had come to grief, and his possessions had all passed into the hands of his uncle William, who was thus the progenitor of the future Bradshawes of Bradshaw.
