Survey from the notes of Durward T. Stokes recorded with Dwight Burke on March 10, 1959.

Dwight Burke owns and lives there. The last Bradshaw owner was Luke Bradshaw. There is a pasture behind the house containing a pond. On the far side of the pasture on the brow of a hill is a clump of trees, bordering the pasture. 100 feet inside the woods, marked with periwinkle and large box bushes is the cemetery. Some of the box are 8 feet tall and form a tent over the graves. There are a few home-made rock markers with no inscriptions. All others have stone slabs made by a professional.
