Here is another letter which has been saved in the JOHN DAVIS BRADLEY Bible for a long time. Someone may find it od interest. The interesting thing, to me, about the letter is that it implies that JAMES H. BRADLEY was already married, with a family, before the first Indian Territory land "Run" of 1889. James married Effie Black in 1891. Purcell Ind Terry April the 8th/89 Dear Brother I drop you this to let you Know all are up. All have just got over the Measles. I heard you are a going to Little River to settle. What part are you going to? My advice is for you not to start with any wagons if you want to get a place. Secure your place and then get your family afterwards. There are a going to be a terrible rush from this part of the country for Little River but only hope you will get there with the rest. This would be as near a place to Little River as you could get to- that is if you are aiming to strike high up on the River. It is only about 10 or 12 miles to the nearest point on Little River from here. I think Gus & Jeff are going there. I have a place located here on the River if I should happen to get beat out of it. I am pulling for Little River immediately. I have a fine place on the railroad & good outlet to the C.N. IT. I could get $100 for my chances on it now but I can't see that atal for I have got too good a show to get there my self. I am watching others. In a hurry. Your Brother J. H. Bradley let me hear from you at once or come up here to start.

Neil, I have Isaac's (my 4g gf) parents as: John 1739 Bradley and Mary 1745 Ledbetter. They were married about 1763 in NC. John mentions Isaac in his Will dated 1778. Both John and Mary had other spouses. Take care! Jim ================================================== >Would you please confirm as to who is Isaac 1772 Bradley's father. > >Sincerely, >H.

Several of my Bradley relatives including my 3g grandfather, James Holland Bradley (1802-1869), have either the first or middle name "Holland." Can anyone tell me how this name came to be used by the Bradleys? Thanks! Jim

Family tradition is that Wilson (1826) Bradley and his wife Elizabeth "Bettie" Minges (1828) Bradley moved from Jefferson Co, TN to MO. However, there is a tombstone in the Hopewell Cemetery, Dandridge, TN, inscribed for Wilson and Bettie. This inscription does not give a death date for either of them and there is question if they were buried in this cemetery. Does anyone have information about them? One of their sons, Judson T. Bradley (1854-1888), and one of their daughters, Lula F. Bradley (1862-1881), are buried in the Hopewell Cemetery near the marker for Wilson and Bettie. Two of their other children, Ephriam and Sarah, married, raised families and spent their lives in East TN. Thanks for any help on this! Jim

Hello, I am interested in learning about the parents of Charles Harrison Bradley, born Nov 1, 1895 in White County, TN. I think his fathers name was James. Charles married Martha Temple Kerley of Cumberland Cnty, TN in Jan 1915. Martha and Charles had four or five children before 1926 in Big Lick, Cumberland County, or New York?, TN before moving to KY. Any information or suggestions will be appreciated. Can someone do a census lookup for 1900 on James Bradley? Thanks, GPR

Looking for more info on Ferby Bradley, B-April 23, 1833. Died December 31, 1893. She was born in Ohio, died in West Point, Indiana. She married William Morlatt. Her father was William Bradley? Does anyone have any information on the Bradleys from Tippecanoe Co. Indiana? Thanks, Dianne

This is a re-post: Eli BRADLEY, b. 1782/1786; m. Irene TALLMAGE (b. c. 1792, West Springfield,MA), 1 Nov 1813 in West Springfield, MA. He died 20 Jan 1854 in Southwick, Hampden, MA. His death certificate indicates he was 68 years old, and was born in Southwick. Children: Maria, b. 3 Feb 1814, m. Rodney UPSON. Irene, b. c. 1819, d. 25 Aug 1842 (unmarried), and Wells Albert,b. 16 Mar 1822, m. Sarah Huldah PARKER. Eli's birth record is not available because the courthouse burned down in 1850. I suspect that Abraham BRADLEY of Hampshire/Hampden Co., MA may be his father. The index for probate records was missing for the BRADLEY names in Hampden Co. Does anyone connect to these people? I am looking for the parents of Eli BRADLEY and Irene TALLMAGE. Will share all info I have. Thank you. Hal Bradley

Does anyone know the roots of General Omar Bradley? My grandmother always said she was his cousin, but I don't see a conection. I know that sometimes, people assumed since they had the same last name that they were kin.

The following is the content of a letter (1892) which has been in the John Davis Bradley family Bible for a long time, but nobody knows who the sender was or the importance of the letter. It was, presumably, written to John D. Bradley but could have been written, by him, for the people mentioned. [His name being at the bottom] We could use some help, if any of the names or persons sound familiar......John D. Bradley was b. 1837 in Lafayette Co., MO, and d. 1909 near Noble, OK.) He was the oldest son of George W. Bradley and Elizabeth Davis Bradley. John's wife was Claracy Ann Haines/Haynes Bradley. Two of John's siblings have been missing since the Civil War: Charles Bradley, b. 1841, and Colena Bradley, b. 1838.

Our James H. Bradley's story is a little different....but, still, similar. James H. Bradley, b. 1856, Lexington, MO, d. Duncan, OK, 1940. 1st marriage to unknown, 2nd m. to Effie Black, 14 Jan 1891 @ Norman. James (Hamilton) Bradley was a pioneer cowboy and cattle man in the (Chickasaw) Indian Territory and a charter member of the Oklahoma Cattlemens's Association, but, later, he also was a partner with his son, Frank Bradley, in a Drugstore business in Duncan and in Noble. He died in Duncan, 1940, but was buried in Noble. There is an obituary, assumed, from the Duncan Banner. Gary Bradley Livermore, CA

My grandfather James Hugh BRADLEY was from around Springfield, MO. His first wife was a VAUGHN who died in childbirth ca. 1892. The son, WILLIAM BRADLEY, (who was born in TX) was sent to live with his maternal grandparents in MO. My grandfather later married Sadie Vivien POOSER from Live Oak, FL. They moved back to TX and lived in Reisle near Waco. They had five children: Ruth (ca. 1902); James Hugh Jr. (my father 1904); Richard (1906); Edna (1908); MacCauly (1912). My grandfather taught at Baylor University and had a Pharmacy in Reisle. I have been told that the child of his first marriage, William BRADLEY, as an adult,lived in Austin, TX. If anyone has any information on these Bradley's I would like to hear from them. Thanks. Judy Bradley Whitecotton; 1501 Rosemont; Norman, OK 73072.

I noted, with interest, that your Bradley line came from Cambria County, PA and Ireland, as did mine. My grandfather, Andrew Bradley married Ellen Mulvehill from Johnstown, Cambria County. I have not been aware of Bradleys actually living in Cambria County - all my Bradley relatives lived in Pittsburgh. My ggrandfather Thomas Bradley - born abt 1840 in Ireland Married Elizabeth Byrne - born abt 1843 in Ireland Both died in Manchester, England Children: James Patrick - b 6 Jan 1862 in Waterford City, Co Waterford 1st Marr Mary Mulvehill - lived in Pittsburgh Died 8 Jun 1942 bur. Mt. Carmel Cemetary, Pgh, Pa Baby boy born Oct 25 1865 in Tramore, Waterford Co. Died 25 Oct 1865 Andrew - b 15 Apr 1867 in Manchester, England Marr. Ellen Mulvehill 26 April 1893 at Sacred Heart Ch, Pgh Died 6 Jan 1945 - bur. Mt.
