This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Bradford Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3YF.2ACIB/1673.2.1.1 Message Board Post: I've seen this name somewhere in NC before, I can look further into it for you. Probably from the Granville Co. area as well. From my understand, the Granville Co. area Bradford clan was very large and extended, but the Mecklenburg Bradford clan was fairly small until the late 1800's. I know I've run across a Solomon before in my research, but can't remember which branch. In the meantime, can you give me more info, such as spouses, etc.? It'll make it a little easier. Also, for you and others who have/will join the Bradford list I maintain, I suggest you go to my webpage for instructions on subscription and posting. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~kshai I do recommend you (and others) join the list, and I know quite a few are descended from the Granville Co. area Bradford clan. Also, I host a chat on Monday nights on NC/SC genealogy on the Genealogy forum chat rooms. To go to the main page for chat info, you can go to http://www.genealogyforum.org There are links to! the schedule of chats: Topics, times (all in Eastern time), and Rooms as well as the link to the actual chat room. I can help better during the chats because I am more focused on the task at hand then, whereas when I reply to these postings I'm at work and can't really do much searching for you. Good luck!
