How to read this record

Every claim is tagged

Most family trees flatten everything into the same confident typeface. This one does not. The three research tags below are the whole point of the exercise: they say what a document proves, what the weight of evidence suggests, and what nobody has found yet. A fourth marks what the family stated directly, where no document has been retrieved at all — it is kept separate on purpose and is never quietly promoted to confirmed. A fifth marks biological evidence: a DNA result is not a document, and it is not testimony either. Two further labels mark where this page withholds information rather than lacking it.

Confirmed

Attested by a document that was actually retrieved and read — a census sheet, a government index, a grave marker, a family-written obituary.

Probable

Strongly supported but not nailed down: a user-contributed tree, a masked index field, or a chain of consistent circumstances. Believable, not proven.

Not found

Searched for and not located. This is a statement about the search, not about the person — the record may well exist somewhere unsearched.

Family testimony

Supplied by the family and recorded on their word — no document has been retrieved for it. Note the diamond rather than the dot: this is provenance, not proof, and it stands apart from the three record tags above S24.

DNA evidence

Biological evidence consistent with a claim. It corroborates origins; it does not by itself establish a person or a link. Note the bar rather than a dot or a diamond: no DNA result on this page is ever counted as confirmed, because no document was read for it S46.

Living — withheld

The person is living. On the charts and in the chains of names a living person appears by name and relationship. A living adult’s full record is on their own card, published with the family’s consent and kept out of search engines. A minor appears by name only. The privacy note at the head of the page gives the rule in full.

Research in progress

A branch that is actively being worked on. The node exists in the structure so the shape of the family is honest; the detail is simply not in yet.

Research status

Maudante’s death record names her parents as Thomas Bradley and Eugenia Huddleston S656. In June 1880 Euginia, 33, was the wife of T. E. Bradley in Wilson County, Tennessee, with daughters L. P., M.

Evidence: Maudante Bradley’s death record (1935) names her mother as Eugenia Huddleston (S656); in 1880 Euginia, 33, was the wife of T. E. Bradley in Wilson County, Tennessee, with a daughter M. M., 7 (S1333). Weak or missing: Her maiden name rests on one record, her daughter’s death record; her birth day and death are not in any record read here. Not yet confirmed. Know more?

Open questions what is probable, weak or missing — confirm or correct it

Weak or missing

What is weak or missing: her maiden name rests on her daughter’s death record alone; her birth (about 1846–1847, from her age in 1880) has no day from a record, and no record of her death has been read. Earlier Huddleston records in Wilson County may be hers and are not yet sorted.

S656Tennessee death record, 1935, certificate 12557. Ancestry record 339854. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Mordant Chenault, wife of C. C. Chenault, of Castalian Springs; born 20 February 1873, Tennessee; died 24 June 1935, St. Thomas Hospital, Nashville; parents Thomas Bradley and Eugenia Huddleston; buried at Gallatin. The Ancestry index files her as Maudante Bradley.
S13331880 census — T. E. Bradley household, 17th Civil District, Wilson County, Tennessee, ED 260, p. 8, lines 4–10. Ancestry, “1880 United States Federal Census”, record 41915264. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 26 September 2026. Probable Dwelling 60: Bradley, T. E., 42, farmer; Euginia, wife, 33; and daughters L. P., 10, M. M., 7, and M. W., 5; with a 19-year-old orphan girl, assistant housekeeper, and a farm worker, 50. All were born in Tennessee. The household is clearly Thomas and Eugenia Bradley, the parents her death record names. Which daughter is Maudante is not clear: the index takes M. W., 5, but her death record’s birth on 20 February 1873 fits M. M., 7, better. The census gives initials only. PROBABLE.
