Hello, Here is an e-mail I received concerning my Query about my Bradford connection to Gov.William Bradford. (I`ll have to get the proof about David being the father to my Samuel Bradford ancestry) There is also alot of other "Bradford" information to other lines, I think you all might find interesting,and hope it helps someone connect. Sue Sisk Hitti@ecr.net I received this information from Dean Bradford in August 1997. I had asked him about Samuel Bradford of Adams Co. OH. "You asked about Samuel Bradford 1808-1877 of Adams Co Ohio. Samuel's line of descent is: Gov. William Bradford 1590-1657 Major William Bradford 1624-1703 David Bradford 1682 Samuel Bradford 1727-1782 William Bradford Jan 8 1770 - Oct 19 1862, married Margaret Parkington Aug 20 1799.

The Burbage family came to Adams County from Berlin, Worcester Co. Maryland in 1816. Zadakiah Bradford married into the Burbage family (Tabitha Burbage) in Worcester Co. Maryland. Family of Samuel Bradford 1808-1877 Samuel married Eliza N. Chase Dec 3, 1837. Eliza was b. Oct 22, 1822 d. Dec 30 1894. Buried in the Bradford family lot "A".

Power Samuel Case 1853-1937 married Naomi Tinkler John 1854-1855 Benjamin Cyrus 1857-1950 married Gertrude Davis There is another Samuel Bradford near his age in Adams County. He is Samuel Grimes Bradford b. Dec 3 1813. His parents were Samuel G. Bradford who married Ruth Shoemaker in Aug 11, 1811 in Adams Co. Capt Samuel G. Bradford was the son of General David Bradford and Barbara Grimes. Capt Samuel Bradford died Aug 13, 1813 (War 1812) General David Bradford 1765-1854 who married Barbara Grimes was the son of Samuel Bradford 1727-1782 and brother to William Bradford 1770-1862. Most of this family us buried in West Union Twp. Adams Co. This Samuel Bradford 1727-1782 married a Sarah Bradford (daughter of Samuel Bradford of Red Lyons, PA)" In another e-mail from Dean (Jul 97) he says: "I know of at least 3 different Bradford families who lived in the Adams Co (town of Manchester) and Brown Co. (town of Aberdeen) Ohio. One family if Gov. William Bradford. Many of them are buried in Aberdeen (across the river from Maysville KY). The government once relocated a cemetery, and during the relocation the Bradford family was researched. This is the family of Samuel Bradford who came from Red Lyons, PA. He served in the Delaware army during the Revolutionary War. I also know of 3 different Bradford families in Scioto Co. which is adjacent to Adams and Brown County. Another Bradford I want to place is Samuel Bradford of Worcester Co. He has many descendents. Samuel's family migrated to Marion Co. KY and established the town of Bradfordville. " Well this is all I have. I don't know if you have this or even want it, but I thought I would send it to you. I do have a e-mail someplace from a person who found the Bradford cemetery and recorded the names off the stones. Said it was located in Manchester OH. If you don't have that information, let me know and I will find it. I keep just about every e-mail I receive that contains Bradford data. Happy New Year! Joe Bradford Justin, Texas jbrad805@gte.net
