Lynne, I get back to John Deplietch Bradbury b. England, came to New York with his parents. He was an only child as far as I know. His father served at age 60 in the Civil War, in order that his son would not have to serve and he could care for his young family, including a new born child and his mother. His father died while serving. Other spellings of Deplietch: Deplitch, Deplich I find that Peter b. 1803 is a son of Thomas & Nanny Bradbury- no maiden name for Nanny. Have that Thomas & Nanny had 10 children. Believe another sibling of Peter's came with them to the US, they would go to Iowa. His obit: His obit states Wednesday morning, Feb 21, 1923 occurred the death of John D. Bradbury, aged 92 years, at the home of his grandson, James Bradbury, of Rodman, where he had been cared for since November 5th. Death was due to old age, he having been in failing health for some time. Mr. Bradbury was born in Manchestershire, England, December 9th, 1830, son of Peter and Martha Bradbury. When nine years of age he came with his parents to this country. After a six weeks voyage they landed at New Orleans, LA. They sailed up the river to St. Louis, then continued to Sackets Harbor. He became a tanner by trade and a few years were spent there and at Cazenovia and Manlius. In 1854 he married Miss Marion Murphy, of Manlius. Shortly after the outbreak of the Civil War he offered his services to the union but was refused on account of his father being already in the service, and his family, including his mother, depending upon him for their support. Later he purchased a farm near Gardiner's Corners, Lewis County, where he resided until the death of his wife in 1905. The remainder of his life he spent with his children and grandchildren in the west and in Jefferson and Lewis counties. Mr. and Mrs. Bradford were the parents of nine children: William who died in infancy; Mrs. Julia Buell, of Watertown who died in 1896; Surviving are four sons, Peter Bradbury, of Humboldt Iowa; George Bradbury of Central Square; John Bradbury, of Watertown; Adelbert Bradbury of Barnes Corners; Three daughters, Mrs. Martha Marcellus of Humboldt, Iowa; Mrs. Margaret Dening of Lowville (my line); Mrs. Minnie Hulbert of South Rutland. Also several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was a charter member of the Gardiner's Corners Grange, a loyal citizen, and a kind and indulgent father and a firm believer in the Golden Rule. The funeral was held from the home of his grandson, James Bradbury. Rev. A.G. Todd of the Congregational Church officiating. His remains were placed in the vault at Fairview Cemetery, Rodman. Interment will be made in the family plot at Liberty cemetery, Montague. "Folded the hands that have labored so long, Quietly clasped o'er a true, loving heart; Gone is the suffering, the waiting is ended, Peacefully, tranquility, lying at rest." Any information on the family or any 'cousins' would be fun to know about! -Charmaine Campany Croghan, New York On 10/11/2014 1:26 PM, Lynne via wrote: > Hi Charmaine > > If you're looking for information, I'm sure someone can help you.
