I hope that someone will respond with the Boone connection for General Omar Bradley. This is one item I found from a simple search. Hopefully, it will help one of our more knowedgeable family members to make the connection, if there is one. Ivan of Trafalgar, Member of the Board of Directors of The Boone Society. www.boonesociety.org The first submission I have received is from Carole, one of our lookup volunteers and related to the late General. Thanks for the personal, family side of this great American. "Initially what I have for you is mostly genealogical info. Much of the info I have on the extended family of Gen Bradley I got from a cousin who has a double relationship to Omar Bradley and has done a fair piece of researching on the BRADLEY family. I have confirmed some of the info myself so in case anyone has any disputes about the info please let me know. (Note: Actually, let Nancy know.) To begin with Omar Nelson BRADLEY was born on Feb 12, 1893 on the Hubbard farm near Clark, Randolph Co., MO. He died April 8, 1981 in New York City, NY. (Note: He was attending a meeting of the Army Association; (I believe he was living at Fort Bliss, Texas prior to his death. This point needs clarification - Ted) His parents were John Smith BRADLEY (b. Feb 15, 1867 Randolph Co., MO and d. Jan 31, 1908 Higbee, MO) and Sarah Elizabeth HUBBARD (b. April 18, 1875 at Hubbard farm near Clark, MO and d. June 23, 1931 Moberly, MO). They were married May 12, 1892 at the Hubbard farm near Clark, MO. Omar was the first child born to the marriage, he also had a brother named Raymond Calvert who was born Feb 1900 and died Jan 18, 1902. His father was from a family of eight children and became a school teacher. He died when Omar was only 14 years old. Omar and his mother took in boarders in order to help make ends meet (including Oreon LESSLY and his wife Cassie - my great-grandfather's brother). Omar married Mary Elizabeth QUALYE on Dec 28, 1916 in Columbia, MO. Mary was born July 25, 1892 and died Dec 1, 1965 in Washington, DC. (Note: She was a 1910 graduate of Moberly High School.) There were 2 children born to the marriage - the first, a stillborn boy, was born 1918 in Butte, MT. The second was Elizabeth Bradley b. Dec 3, 1923 at West Point, NY. Omar's second wife was Kitty Buhler who he married on Sept 12, 1966 in San Diego, CA. Omar's paternal grandfather was Thomas Minter BRADLEY b. Dec 29, 1844 in Howard Co., MO and died 1923 in Washington Co., AR. His paternal grandmother was Sarah Elizabeth LEWIS b. abt 1847 in Randolph Co., MO and died Feb 18, 1901 in Winslow, AR. They were married Sept 30, 1865 at Moberly, Randolph Co., MO. My relationship to Omar Bradley is thru Sarah Elizabeth LEWIS. I am descended from her aunt Hester Ann LEWIS. I have little information on Omar's maternal grandparents. I only have their names - Henry Clay Hubbard and Mary Elizabeth Spurling.

Thanks for your response to my posting! The very last sentence of you posting mentions Henry Clay Hubbard as being the maternal grandfather of General Omar Bradley. Henry Clay Hubbard was born about 1842/1843 according to all the information I have found on him. This age is in agreement with the following census information for a Henry C. Hubbard, son of Joel and Sally Hubbard: 1850 Census: Randolph County, Missouri Joel Hubbard 46 Kentucky Sally Hubbard 45 Kentucky William Hubbard 23 Missouri Salem Hubbard 21 Missouri John Hubbard 19 Missouri Franklin Hubbard 13 Missouri Elizabeth Hubbard 10 Missouri Henry C. Hubbard 7 Missouri In turn, I have power of attorney documents from Joel & Sally Hubbard as well as chancery court records for Timothy Logan that show Sally Hubbard as Timothy Logan's heir (a granddaughter through his daughter Elizabeth Logan who married James Alexander in Garrard Co., KY in 1804). I think I have the documentation to support that Henry Clay Hubbard was a great-grandson of my gggg grandfather Timothy Logan. Now, if I can just prove that Timothy Logan's first wife was, in fact, a Boone (which, selfishly, I would enjoy more as completing another piece of the puzzle for my own family history, but it would be great to prove the Boone connection for Omar Bradley as well)!
