Daniel Bradley and wife Susannah of old Frederick County Virginia which became a part of Berkeley County Virginia now West Virginia, migrated to Mercer County Kentucky in the 1780's and is named in the 1780's Madison Count Kentucky tax list, though he does not appear to have owned land in Madison County Kentucky. Daniel Bradley was a neighbor of Richard Lock and son Richard Lock Jr. both of old Frederick County Virginia, Berkeley County Virginia. Richard Lock Jr had 5 Lock sons who also made this migration to Mercer County Kentucky / Madison County Kentucky before settling in Barren County Kentucky by 1799-1800. I think that maybe a possible link for you through Daniel Bradley and wife Susannah. Daniel and Susannah Bradley leased land in old Frederick County Viriginia in 1763 in which Richard Lock his neighbor was a witness to the Daniel Bradley land deed lease. What I don't know is, is if this Daniel Bradley had any sons, I do know he had at least 2 daughters who both married in Mercer County Kentucky. Because the Lock's and Bradley's migrated from Virginia to Kentucky together and the Lock's settled in Barren County, makes me think it is possible Daniel Bradley maybe related to your Bradley lineage some how. Here are a couple sources for this Daniel Bradley. Frederick County Virginia records Land deed book 8, page 162, dated Feb. 7th, 1763 The Daniel Bradley & wife Susannah land deed ends on page 162 and Richard Lock's land deed starts at the bottom of page 162. How many pages there are to the Daniel Bradley land deed lease is unknown to me, but it is likely 3 or 4 pages long. 1789 Madison County Kentucky tax list: Daniel Bradley Geradis Lock married May 13, 1795 in Mercer County Kentucky to Mary Bradley Bondsman: Martin Adams , Brides Father: Daniel Bradley , Teste: Benjamin Lock, by Minister: John Rice Peter Lock married February 25, 1799 in Mercer County Kentucky to Hannah Bradley Bondsman: George Dotson , Consent: Daniel & Susannah Bradley, Teste: William & Benjamin Lock Something to consider anyway, it may or may not be a connection for you.
