This is in answer to a look up for query from Martha concerning this family... Is there anyone who can help connect them on back. Looks like they could possibly connect to Richard Bradford, 1738, son of Philemon. This is the only note I have for him: (just speculation) Pg. 115 THE BRADFORDS OF CHARLES CITY COUNTY Richard's name, for example, appears in several records that also mention his brother Thomas. Specifically, Thomas was the witness when Richard deeded land to their father in 1762. Similarly, Richard was the witness when Thomas deeded Philemon land in the following year. Thomas also witnessed Richard's purchase of 472 acres that adjoined Granville County's Low Ground Creek "near Wilkerson's Path" in 1763. Richard was granted 600 acres on Beaver Dam Creek in 1760 (360 of which he sold to his father in 1762). Richard was a neighbor of Thomas Banks in 1763. Richard still lived in Granville County in March 1785, according to his brother Thomas's will which was drafted at that time...... Some have suggested he moved to Bedford Co., TN.
