Not my line, just notes I had kept. John's son Richard, b. abt 1711, inherited 400 acres of land from his father on the north side of the Tar River in Pamlico and then disappears from the records. My research has not turned up a wife or descendants for him. [George McSwain, Brandenton, FL] Page 54 [of Ledger]. MR. RICHARD BRADFORD, 1738 April 28, 1. For one pair woman's glovs; June 1 (paid for 1 pair of women's gloves; Paid John Cook, November 30. His account was 300 pounds. "Your account is in Rum Book in 1737."

The Library of Virginia. Children of Richard: DAVID 1735, RICHARD 1738, WILLIAM 1740, THOMAS 1742 following note in my file - indicates this is probably correct line for you. I am trying to solve the riddle of where does Thomas Bradford (wife Sarah ) Fit in the Charles city VA Bradford family . I have located what I believe to be the connection to Thomas Bradford and Mary Hargraves (m in Granville co, 1782) This Thomas and Mary are the parents of The Bradford Family of Clarke co AL and several lines that moved to AR in 1870. This family migrated from Wilkes co GA (and Putnam co, Middle GA in about 1815) The connection which I have not yet proved is Thomas and Sarah Bradford are the parents of Thomas (m married Mary Pollly Hargraves) I also believe this family is closely connected with the Aycocks , Lanes and other VA and NC families. There is a Thomas and Sarah who sell land in Halifax co NC 1768 that I think are the same Thomas and Sarah that die in Hancock co in 1811 ( thomas dies will june 1811)
