• Notes

  Cumberland was a trapper. He also harvested saplings and sold them to his uncle, Uriah Hugh Bradshaw who owned a cooper shop and used the wood for making barrel hoops for his flour barrels. He was probably named after the Baptist Minister, Cumberland George, of Northern Virginia. When Cumberland enlisted in the Confederate army his occupation was listed as carpenter. He served during the Civil War in the Stafford Light Artillery. Daily Star newspaper, dated March 1, 1915 CUMBERLAND BRADSHAW An Old Confederate Passed Over The River It is with deep regret we chronicle the death of an aged citizen, Mr. Cumberland Bradshaw who passed to his reward at his home near Richardsville, Culpeper county, on Thursday, Feb. 25, 1915, aged 74 years, after an ilness of only a few days. He was stricken on Sunday morning with paralysis and never rallied from the effects. He was an old Confederate veteran and has answered to the last roll call, and gone to join his comrads who have gone before. So few of them are left behind that a few more years and all of them will be gone hence to the better land. He was wounded during the conflicts of '61 and '65 and has always preserved the bullets, the same being buried with him. He will be greatly missed by all in the community of his abode, as he posessed such a kind and generous disposition. He is survived by one daughter, of Richmond, and several brothers, also one sister. Funeral services were conducted on Friday at 2 p.m. by Rev. J. D. Shopoff and interment in the family burying ground beside his wife, who preceeded him to the grave some years ago. Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep, Securely shall my ashes lie, To wait the summons from on high. A Friend.
