Stewart. If anybody knows where I can buy a copy, please contact me. p. 77-78 325. James Bradford -- 100110-10100-0 (did not note which census, maybe 1800) "Hosea Bradford in Alexander’s district, and Nathaniel Bradford in Wiley Pope’s district, were taxed in Wilkes County, GA., in 1785; Nathaniel on two tracts of 287 1/2 acres in Franklin County, and other land in Washington and in Wilkes County, where he lived. In the estate of James Aycock in Wilkes County Jan. 4, 1778, there is mention of a transaction between William Aycock and John Bradford concerning the loan of a horse in 1745 but it would not appear that John lived in Georgia but rather in Virginia. On Oct. 30, 1790, Nathaniel and his wife Tamar Bradford sold land on Broad River to Benjamin Talliaferro adjoining Burwell Pope and Thomas Wootten, and the family name appears subsequently in Wilkes County and as early as 1802 in Oglethorpe County. Two tracts of 287 1/2 acres each in Franklin (Jackson) County on Sandy Creek, granted to Oscar Bradford May 30, 1794, were subsequently sold to David Carswell of Oglethorpe and by him to George Wilson of Jacks! on County, August 5, 1799. In 1820...[page cut off, not copied]...[p. 78]...Lindsey’s District in Jackson in 1827), A/d (No. 328) and John Bradford (No. 613). In Walton County 1820 was Richard B. And Cynthia Bradford, Joseph [was] in Habersham County, Samuel in Oglethorpe, and others were in various parts of Georgia. In 1827, James and James S. Were listed in the Jackson County lottery; Robert, Joshua, and Charles in Gwinnett County; the widow Elizabeth in DeKalb County; and Wiley in Henry County, among others." "The Bradfords began arriving in Virginia well before 1745, congregating particularly in Accomac County. The will of John Bradford in Brunswick County, VA., (Nov. 2, 1732/Nov. 6, 1735, Will Book I, p. 237) named his wife Rebecca, and his children Richard, John, Nathaniel, Frances, Rebecca, Sarah and other legatees, and mentioned his land on the Tarr River (Granville County, N.C.). The family appears in Edgecombe and Granville Counties, N. C., shortly thereafter, there being wills dating from c 1756-1757 in both counties. In 1788 the Granville tax list contained the names of David, David Jr., Richard, Philemon (2), Booker, Ephraim (a name found also in Wilkes County, GA., c 1783 concerning a Montgomery County, N. C., transaction John and Benjamin. Among the later wills, that of Philip in Granville 1770 mentioned his wife Mary and children Thomas, Philemon, John, David, Richard, Elizabeth Hudspeth and Mary White; and that of Thomas 1786 named Philemon, David, Mary, Thomas,! Ephraim, Richard, Benjamin, Sarah and Seaby(?). A branch of the family was established in Halifax County, N. C. (See Boodie, SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA FAMILIES, v. 2, p.54 and other Boodie works) where the name is found with that of the Wooten, Lane, Strickland and other families later in Georgia. John Bradford was executor of the will of Barnabas, son of Joseph Lane of Halifax County, N. C., in 1762. Several Bradford families moved to South Carolina, among them Nathaniel, Henry and Thomas, sons of Nathaniel Bradford of Virginia and Northampton County, N. C., who were established in Chester District, S. C., in 1790, and John was enumerated there in 1800. Philemon Bradford in 1800 was enumerated 22120-21110-06 in Greenville District, S. C., his neighbors indicating he probably came from Granville County, N. C. Although Bradfords were in Mississippi Territory by 1808 and in Alabama Territory by 1817, a family in St. Clair County, Ala., --settled in large part by people from no! rtheast Geogia--apparently came more or less directly from South Carol ina. Henry Bradford was there by 1819 and in 1821 Philomen Bradford obtained the first land tract purchase of record. Lemuel Bradford and Leonard Weisiger were administrators forThomas C. Bradford there Nov. 24, 1829. The 1841 will of Henry Bradford named his children Thomas J., James H., Tabitha Truss, Susan Truss, Elizabeth, Mary, Catherine and Hariett. (Tabitha married James, son of Enos Truss, Oct. 15, 1821, and Wiley Truss married Susan Bradford March 26, 1828, both in St. Clair County). The Truss family was from North Carolina. Nancy, daughter of Champ Langford (see Langford) also married a Bradford and lived in St. Clair. The 1850 St. Clair census showed (No. 394) Philomen, born 1798, and William D. Bradford, born 1788, both in North Carolina, and other, including Philomen Bradford, born 1815 in South Carolina. No Bradford was found in the 1820 census of Gwinnett County, but in 1823, Charles from Fairfield District, S. C., settled there." >From online family tree notes of SCALESBAGWELL#12.FTW: The first member of the BRADFORD family to come to Gwinnett County was Charles Bradford and his family who migrated to Georgia, from Fairfield County(*District), SC. Charles and his wife Nancy Elizabeth? (*Lemmon) and younger children settled in the section around New Hope Methodist Church, in Gwinnett County. Their older children were married and had families in SC. They had a total of 13 children. Charles drew land April 5, 1827 in the First District, lot no 47 of Carroll Co and in the Twenty-second District, lot no 161 of Muscogee, Co and was living in Whortons District of Gwinnett Co. The land lottery of 1832 shows that the ORPHANS of Charles drew land. (GC Vol 3 page 60) Nancy Bradford joined the New Hope Meth Church in October of 1829. Charles Bradford died about 1829 or 1830 and it is believed that they are buried at the New Hope Meth Church, in Gwinnett Co,GA (*in unmarked graves?)....Nancy must have died between 1830-1832 when their children were identified as orphans. Please bear with me as "I know all of you could look this up on your own"; I just thought if we could get the data into one place, it would be easier to analyze. Researchers of collateral lines....can you help us unravel the BRADFORDS of Gwinnett County and earlier? Are there any BRADFORDS or descendants in Gwinnett Co., GA today who will search local records and old newspapers for additional data on these people? Are there any Bible records. I think there is a BRADFORD - DODD connection from VA to Carolinas to GA as my Dodd ancestor who md Patty MASSEY in Westmoreland Co., VA, named their first daughter, Elizabeth Bradford DODD (from her Bible last owned by Teresa Burritt of FL, a great some odd niece). Elisabeth DODD never married, but her 1/2 brother, Joseph Washington Dodd md my ancestor, Elisabeth BRADFORD, possibly a daughter of Charles and Nancy Elizabeth Lemmon BRADFORD, in Gwinnett Co., GA in 1843 or 45. Any help appreciated.

He was born April 19, 1848, possibly even 1839 or 1841 in Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky. When the Civil War broke out he resided in/near Haw Creek, Illinois and enlisted with the Union Army, 83rd Illinois Infantry. He received a ribbon from the Grand Old Army of the Republic at the Civil War Memorial Day celebration in Rock Island, IL (year unknown). He married Susannah S.

Their 9 surviving children were: Margaret Jane Bradford, b. 1874 Elizabeth Bradford, b. 1879 Martha Adeline Bradford, b. 1883 Lewis Frank Bradford, b. 1884 John Thomas Bradford, b. 1886 Anna Bradford, b. 1890 Ella or Ellen Bradford, b. 1893 Clark Spencer Bradford, b. 1895 Charles Howard Bradford, b. 1898 >From an 1880 Census, he, wife Susannah, daughters Maggie and Elizabeth, plus Susannah's brother John R.C. Malson lived in West Wheeling, Belmont Co., OH. On this same census, his father's birthplace is recorded as "Not Known", mother's birthplace "KY". His occupation was laborer. It is believed that he left his family and went "West" probably by 1900 and may have died in 1919 or 1920.

Hi List, I am new to the list and trying to find a bit of information on Robert Bradford b. 11 Jul 1750. Robert moved to Washington Co. OH in the late 1700's and died there in 1823. His wife, Kezia Little Bradford died before he did and I am trying to determine if he remarried. I have a marriage listed in Washington Co., OH as: Louise Pond married Robert Bradford 10 Dec 1812 both of Belpre (Washington Co. OH) Could this be the same Robert Bradford b. in 1750 Kingston, Plymouth, Massachusetts? Any information would be appreciated. Thank You, John

Their children are Thomas b. abt. 1852, John b. abt. 1860, James b. abt. 1864, William b. abt. 1866, Jessie b. abt. 1871, Alfred b. abt. 1873, and Emma b. abt. 1875. They seem to live for a time St. George in the East. I descend from the son John who married Alice Frances Berry in 1878. They lived in St George in the East and then moved to Essex. John died in 1920. Their children are John, Emily, Thomas, William, Alice, Nellie, and Albert. I'm looking for any information about this family.

I have learned more about Miranda since posting and Moses D. Bradford was indeed her father-in-law. Her first husband was Oviatt S. Bradford and he died of typhoid fever at Camp Jefferson, KY, 29 Jan 1861. Miranda S. Ernest Bradford Osborn was born in 1839. There is a personal history of her and also of Arthur M. Bradford in the Combination 1880 History and 1895 Atlas of Putnam County, Ohio. I would be glad to share the information, if you do not already have it. Miranda connects to my Osburn/Osborn line, but I wonder if Moses D. is the grandson of Joshua Bradford b.1751, d. 1819 in Braceville, OH. Joshua's son James is my line.
