Hi all! This is just a reminder about an email I sent earlier about the new chat rooms that are online for anyone to come to (and not just AOL anymore!). Particularly, I'm sending an email about the different southern chats we have. There is a general Southern US genealogy chat that covers VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, TN, KY, MS, etc. (basically any state from VA on down). These chats occur a couple of times throughout the week. One is held on Monday afternoons from 2-3pm EST (1-2 CST, 12-1 MST, 11-12 PST) in the room "Brick Walls", The other is held Saturday nights from 9-10 pm EST (8-9 CST, 7-8 MST, 6-7 PST) in the room "Skeleton Closet". There are also chats for specific states (and not just the south!). Chats of interest to my surname lists are as follows: NC/SC on Monday nights from 7-9pm EST in "Brick Walls",IL/IN/IA on Tuess. nights 9-10pm EST in "Brick Walls", VA/WV on Wed. nights from 7-8pm EST in "Brick Walls", KY on Wed. nights from 8-9pm EST in "Brick Walls", PA on Thurs. nights 9-10pm EST AND Fri. nights 10-11pm EST both in "Brick Walls", CT/MA on Fri. nights 8-9pm EST in "Brick Walls", MA/RI on Sunday nights 10-11pm EST in "Brick Walls". To see a full schedule of all chats and the rooms they are in, go to http://www.genealogyforum.org This is a great site, but not a lot of people yet. Come check us out. I don't work for this group or anything, but there almost every night I can make it, especially the Southern, IL/IN/IA, and NC/SC chats. This site has so much potential to be a great place for genealogists to connect, we all just need to go there :o) hehe. AOL does still have their chat rooms as well, now located in the "Parenting" section, but these rooms can be accessed by anyone with internet access. Hope to see you there. The screen names I go by on there are either "Erin" "eabradfo" or "LibraryBookNCSU". Good luck everyone with your search and hope people are digging up lots of new cousins!

The very helpful and gracious Ms. Brewster did a lookup for me on this info about Sarah Fitzgerald hailing from County Cork, Ireland. The following is from the Phelps County Missouri Heritage Book, Vol. I, pages 63/64: "Adam Bradford descended from one of the earliest colonial families in America. He was born at Snow Hill, Maryland on the Pocomoke River, in 1775, the son of Samuel Bradford and Sarah (Fitzgerald) Bradford. Sarah was born in County Cork, Ireland. Samuel Bradford's birthplace is not known, but he was a soldier of the American Revolution, serving as a private in Captain William Purnell's Co., Sinepuxen Battalion, during 1780 in Worcester County, Maryland. The will of Samuel Bradford, who died in 1810, is on file in Worcester County. It gives the names of his children. Two of Samuel's sons, William Bradford and James Bradford, might have served with their father in the Colonial Army. Samuel's second wife was Tabitha Fitzgerald, a sister to Sarah." This and the rest of the information on Adam's descendants that follows it was contributed to the Phelps County Heritage Book by Vivian (Fuller) Bradford, a contributor to "Bradford Descendants" by Vance A. Bradford. Vance praised her in the book, saying "Vivian is one of the important contributors to this section of the family record and continues to dig up and send in missing information." Vance was referring to the section in the book on Peter Bradford, son of Adam. I'm wary of using the Phelps County Heritage book as the final word. It appears that the Phelps book is a compendium of individual submissions that may or may not be accurate in all their parts. For instance, Vivian says that Samuel's second wife was Tabitha Fitzgerald, and that she was a sister of Samuel's first wife Sarah. I doubt this is correct, but I think if it's an error it's bred of honest confusion about Samuel's wives and their last names. It's worthwhile to look at what the primary source for the name Fitzgerald is. It comes from a letter written by Samuel Hancock, son of Samuel Bradford's daughter Sarah. In this letter, written in 1888, Samuel Hancock asserts, "my grandmother was a Fitzgarel. I don't know her first name." Vance Bradford uses this letter as evidence in his chapter on Samuel, where he lists Sarah's surname as unknown, but writes that Samuel's second wife Tabitha was said to have been a Fitzgerald. From this it appears that Vance Bradford was assuming that Samuel Hancock was referring not to his natural grandmother, Sarah, but rather to his foster grandmother, Tabitha. It seems to me that's open to interpretation. Most people (myself included) assume Samuel Hancock was referring to his actual grandmother, Sarah - and therefore most people call her a Fitzgerald and leave Tabitha's surname unknown. Even aside from that, I think Vance Bradford must have viewed with some suspicion the information contained in Samuel Hancock's letter since he refrained from asserting in the book with certainty that he knew either of Samuel's wives last names. Again, he wrote only that Tabitha "may have been a Fitzgerald" I think this might have been due to the fact that Samuel Hancock was very old when he wrote the letter, not to mention that he wrote it almost 80 years after Samuel's death. All of this leads me to look warily upon the statement that Sarah was from County Cork, Ireland. Whatever Vivian's source was for this information, I'm viewing it as potential clue rather than an established fact. --- JALEX4954@aol.com wrote: > In the Phelps County, MO Heritage book it says that > the parents of Adam > Bradford are Samuel Bradford and Sarah Fitzgerald, > and that�Sarah was born in > County Cork, > Ireland. > > Tabitha Bradford is mentioned as a daughter of John > Tarr, Sr. in his will on > ocmuseum.org.

In the Phelps County, MO Heritage book it says that the parents of Adam Bradford are Samuel Bradford and Sarah Fitzgerald, and that Sarah was born in County Cork, Ireland. Tabitha Bradford is mentioned as a daughter of John Tarr, Sr. in his will on ocmuseum.org. Also, the second wife of James Bradford (son of Samuel) was Sarah Holland Tarr.

I've never seen a birthplace listed for Sarah Fitzgerald before. Does the Phelps Co. Heritage book list a source? --- wrote: > In the Phelps County, MO Heritage book it says that > the parents of Adam > Bradford are Samuel Bradford and Sarah Fitzgerald, > and that�Sarah was born in > County Cork, > Ireland. > > Tabitha Bradford is mentioned as a daughter of John > Tarr, Sr. in his will on > ocmuseum.org.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: BRADFORD, MOORE, STEWART Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3YF.2ACIB/1639 Message Board Post: I am looking for any information about Adelia Bradford Moore or her brother, Lee Bradford. They moved to Fort Worth, Texas in the late 1800's from Alabama with their mother after the death of their father. She was 14 at the time they moved to Texas and Lee was 10. She married N. B. Moore and they lived for a time in Palo Pinto County, Texas before moving to Snyder in Scurry County. This was where she and her husband lived until they died. Any information about either of them would be appreciated. Adelia was my great-grandmother.

Apologies in advance for the lengthy post - but I want to get a lot of information out all at once. 1) In the Maryland archives online marriage records there is a Nehemiah Truitt who married a daughter of John Bradford, as follows: Truitt, Nehemiah, m. by 1 Feb 1760, (N), dau. of John Bradford of WO Co. (MDAD 44:206). Source: http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/stagser/s1500/s1527/html/ssi1527t.html So the records indicate that Nehemiah Truitt married a daughter of John Bradford, but I've seen no indication of her first name other than some unsourced family trees. One family tree I saw online had Nehemiah Truitt's wife's name as Mary Bradford, but claimed she was the daughter of Hezekiah Bradford. I have no idea where this came from. At any rate, no matter what her name is, we know that one of John Bradford's 8 daughters married a Nehemiah Truitt. If anyone has any proof as to her first name - please let us know. 2) I want to have us clear up something about John Bradford, Jr. - because a lot of people have him dying in 1776 and I have no idea where this information came from. On that very helpful Ocean City Museum website, http://www.ocmuseum.org/genealogy/search/will_search.asp, there are the wills of 2 John Bradfords. There's the one who died in 1756. I believe this is the father John, the one who moved from Accomack. John Bradford Will Date: Probate Date: John Bradford 3 September 1742w. 5 October 1753p. To my wife, Margaret, all moveables with exception state. To son Nathaniel land called Saint Martin's Deserts, a description. To my son William, part of land stated above. To son John, 100 acres of plantation called John's :pt. To my eight daughters, only on daughter is mentioned by name, and she being Rebecca, personalty after the death of their mother, Margaret. Margaret Bradford, EX. Wit; Robert Rathbone, George Jarman. There's only 1 other John listed, as follows: John Bradford Will Date: Probate Date: BRADFORD, John 24 Dec 1810w. 11 Jan 1811p. To my grandson Powell Patey, the EX. (exec). To grandson Kendal Patey. To grand-daughters Betsy Patey and Fanny Patey. To my daughters Chloe Mills and Polly Bradford. Wit; Joshua Prideaux, William Dale, Stephen Cropper. 1806-13, 236. I have been operating under the assumption that this second John Bradford who died 1810-11 is the son of the original Worcester John Bradford. He would have to have been extremely old at the time of his dying, but in this will his grandson is old enough to be the executor, so it's likely he was in fact extremely old. My guess is he probably had sons who aren't listed in the will, because by this time they would all be almost grandfathers themselves and not in need of anything from their father. And I'm guessing that one or more of the 3rd generation Bradford males of Worcester whose parentage is undocumented (Samuel, Elisha, Avery, Purnell, etc.) are probably the sons of this John Bradford - meaning Samuel could be one of them. But I've seen lots of others list John's death as occuring around 1776. Can anyone tell me where this date comes from? There must be another John I don't know about. As for John Jr's wife or wives, I've seen the a lot of people list his wife as Esther Smith. I believe this comes from the will of William Smith, who mentions a daughter Esther named Bradford, but doesn't mention a husband's name. If anyone has other proof to substantiate that her husband was John, please let us know. William Smith Will Date: Probate Date: William Smith 1764 w. 19 June 1766p. Wife Rebecca EX; son John 50 acres; son Levi; son Thomas EX; son William, daughter Sarah Smith, daughters Rebecca Smith, Esther Bradford, Mary Timmons. Wit; Joseph Jones, Joseph Jones, John Webb. Ah, but then there's Belitha Powell, who mentions a sister Sally wife of John Bradford. This is the Sally who is daughter of Samuel Powell (see below) Belitha Powell Will Date: Probate Date: Powell , Belitha 13 Dec 1800w. 13 Feb 1801p. To my brother John Powell s children, Esther Powell, Molly Powell , John Powell, lands and to their mother, Keziah Powell, one fourth part. CYPRESS SWAMP that I bought of Richard Sampson is to be sold to sister Sally Bradford, wife of John Bradford. My cousin Jesse Powell, EX. Wit; John Postly, Erasmus Harrison, Samuel McCrea. The bonds include, Abisha Davis. JBR 1799-1803, 203. Samuel Powell Will Date: Probate Date: 4 May 1770w. 21 June 1779p. To my son John Powell, the lands that cousin Thomas Powell was possessed of when he died, 200 acres and 60 acres that bounds William Beanham's, and Richardson's Bridge. To son Biltha/Byltha Powell, the balance of Richardson's Ridge, he the EX. To my son William Powell, the tract called Powell's Addition to Richardson's Ridge, 50 acres and part of the tract Richardson's Ridge. Wit; Zadock Powell, William Bainum, Abijah Davis. 1769-1783, 434. So it would seem that, whether or not John Jr. married Esther Smith, he definitely married Sally Powell, sister of Belitha Powell and daughter of Samuel Powell. Could this be where Samuel Bradford's first name came from? From his grandfather Samuel Powell on his mother's side? Just speculation. --- Leona Mastan <lmastan@jps.net> wrote: > Bradford-Truitt connection: > > It has been said.... > Job Truitt married Mary Powell.

Bradford-Truitt connection: It has been said.... Job Truitt married Mary Powell. Their son Nehemiah Truitt (abt 1710-1773) married Mary Bradford abt 1736 in Worcester Co, MD. Mary's brother John Bradford (1716-1776) married Esther Smith (b abt 1717) in 1737. Could John & Esther be the parents of Samuel Bradford of Snow Hill? I have seen no documentation for this second hand info. Leona

I will post this again with a little more information : John Nathaiel Bradford b 1800 in NC. He was in Jackson County AL around or after 1820 moving on to Lincoln County Tn before 1830. He is on that census (1830) with a wife 3 sons & 2 daughters. These children were King David, William E. b 1827 John Nathaniel 1828 Nancy apx 1824 and Jane 1829 The next child I have is Susannah 1835 & then my gr grandmother Charlotte (Lottie) b 1837. There is a 5 yr space there? He married again in Lincoln County in 1841 to Anna Blacksher/ Blackshear On the 1850 census, it list Nathaniel 50 - Anna 40 - Jane 21 - Susanna 14 - Charlotte 12 - Elizabeth 10 - Elisha 7 - Julia 6 - Johnson 4 - Caroline 2 - Phebe at 6 months. Does anyone have them on the 1860 census. I believe they sold their farm but I am not sure if they moved elsewhere or died. Nathaniel was said to be a preacher. Also on the 1850 Marshall County Tn census was either a dau or sister of Anna's - Mary Blacksher 16. Dau Nancy m. Samuel Crabtree then she died in 1853 and Charlotte married Samuel. I am trying to find out who the parents of Nathaniel b. 1800 was and who did he marry? Any other information is appreciated . Regards Judith Eberts :-)
