Hi Folks, I am looking for James Bradley's father whom, I believe, was either Lawrence or John Bradley of Wilkes Co. NC (now Caldwell Co.) John and Lawrence were brothers from Orange Co. VA and removed to Wilkes in abt 1778. My James Bradley showed up in Carter Co. TN (now Johnson) in about 1802 and married Catherine Smithpeter and raised a large family there. He declared in the census enumerations that he was born in VA in ca 1776. This would fit for him in that he had previously shown up on Wilkes tax list in 1797, when he would have been 21. My problem is two-fold; 1) I don't know which of John or Lawrence was his father if either. and 2) There was another James Bradley in Wilkes who married Hanna Poague in 1806. I have more detail on how he probably got to Carter Co. TN if anyone can make the father connection. This is a real "Brick Wall" for me and some direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks---------- Jim Everett
