I was very excited to read the info you had on Erasmus and would love to know more too. Erasmus and Mary were my g-g-g-grandparents. Their son William Bradley married my g-g grandmother Clara Adeline Hoopes in San Francisco. I have their marrige certificate. I have dozens and dozens of beautiful letter written between William and Clara. I also have several very touching letters from Erasmus to William discussing the family, when he sadly had to stop preaching, and how he was getting on in years. Feel free to contact me directly at wildharelodge@gmail.com if you would like to discuss further. Thank you, Kelly Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
