There is some information in the book South of the Mouth of Sandy by Chris Evans it tells of the Crawford Family's journey to Tennessee from North Carolina in 1803. It also tells of a Bradford's death in the efforts to abolish bootlegging in Big Sandy TN and an area around the Big Sandy River known as the old 23rd District. The first part of the book is about this family. Hope you find the read interesting I did.

Hey I've been doing a little of research. David Bradford only had 5 children With Elizabeth Porter. Not sure what all of their names where because I'm still researching that, but one of them was Sarah Mathilda Bradford who was married to Clark Woodroff in 1817. Hope that helps.

I am a descendant of Lorenzo Dow Rush and Frances Irene Harwood through their son Milam Lafayette Rush. Frances Irene Harwood was Lorenzo's first wife and she died in the 1860s. My Great Grandmother, Martha Draden Rush(daughter of Milam Rush)was raised in the home of Lorenzo and Frances Rush following the death of her Father, Milam, in the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre. Martha and her brother, Alfred, are listed in the household of Lorenzo Rush in the 1870 Boone Co., Arkansas census along with the Bradford and Jay children. I have written documentation by my Great Grandmother that Lorenzo was twice married after the death of his first wife Frances. This means that he may have married 2nd the widow of William Bradford and 3rd to Minerva Jay, widow of John Jay.

peggysullivan114 — 2009-10-06 14:47:32Z

The register of a birth could happen a few months after the actual birth of a child so your 1879 registration could still be the right one.

John Bradford

eileenfisher65 — 2009-10-06 14:47:02Z

I am trying to trace the history of my late father family.

My Grandfather John Bradford was born about 1878? not sure.

1901 census shows him living in Norwich with his wife Rosa. place of Birth London not known?

1911 census states he was born in Chalk Farm.

Have been through the Briths Register no records for 1878, but one in 1879 possible the correct part of London Camden Town (Pancras)

Can find on positive trace of John Bradford in either the 1881 or 1891 census.

Any advice or help please.

Thanks Eileen.

Hi. I havnt traced the family downwards yet as I have only just opened up this line through my 3x great grandmother. It has tyaken me 25 years to find her marriage and maiden name. They were married in Harlow Essex which surprised me as they were all there married life in London till they moved up to Stockton Durham.
I dont know if any of the later generations ended up in the USA. I have just found a contact for this family on Genes reunited, so if they run into your line I will get back to you. Cheers, Pam [Australia]

Re: Hugh Bradford b 1787 NC, d TN aft 1871

gbradford22 — 2009-09-18 12:54:31Z

Nancy,
This line is believed to connect to Richard Bradford of Charles City County Virginia which is my line also.

This can be confirmed thru YDNA testing. So far we don't have any descendants of Hugh Bradford participating.

Hugh could also be the father of Davis and Wiley Bradford who were also in the counties you mentioned.

I will check my files and see if I have anything additional on Hugh Bradford

Hugh Bradford b 1787 NC, d TN aft 1871

nancyhamilton1038 — 2009-09-18 07:34:29Z

My oldest known Bradford ancestor is Hugh Bradford b abt 1787 in NC. He died after applying for war pension in 1871 in Henry, TN.
..1812 Hugh was mustered into service in Lincoln, TN.
..1813 Hugh was in Maury, TN.
..1820 Hugh was in Hickman, TN.
..1823 Hugh was again in Maury, TN.
..1840 Hugh was in Henry, TN were he resided in Buchanan.

Hugh married twice. First to Peggy Harrison 24 Dec 1812 in Davidson, TN. Second to Kessiah Davison in 1818 in Dickson, TN.

Known children for sure are James and Haynes J. There are probably several others.

I descend from Haynes J and his wife Sophronia through their daughter Elizabeth Fraxanella.

Does any one connect with any of these folks? I'm searching for parents and siblings of Hugh, children of Hugh and their descendants.

Thanks, Nancy nbhamil@msn.com

Re: David Bradford

Jenkins5286 — 2009-09-17 00:14:41Z

Hi, I was just wondering if you have anything new on Thomas, David and John Bradford. I think that I may have a connection to a Mary Ann Bradford who married a Russell in Grainger County Tenn. and came to Franklin County IN. I am pretty sure that David Bradford who was in Franklin County IN in 1811 is connected to my John Bradford also but have not found out how. Have you anything new on David Bradford who you think is a brother to your Thomas?
It has been some time since I contacted any of you on this thread but would like to be updated if you have anything new to share. Thanks. Carol

Re: william Bradford

Jenkins5286 — 2009-08-27 12:42:55Z

Hi David, Are you a descendant of David or John Russell sons of Mary Ann Bradford Russell Gant of Grainger County Tennessee and Franklin County Indiana? If you are would you please contact me at cjgennut@yahoo.com? Thank you so much.
I am at a complete brick wall on Mary Ann Bradford and my ancestor John Bradford. I am pretty sure they are relation
to each other but can not find out how.
Thanks again for answering. Carol

Re: Mary Ann Bradford Russell

Jenkins5286 — 2009-08-27 12:37:04Z

Hi everyone, I was just in Franklin County Indiana and I looked at the cemetery records. Mary Ann Bradford Russell Gant is NOT the Mary Gant buried in the Quick cemetery. The Mary Gant buried there was born Sept 25th 1825 and died Jan 20th 1858 and is the wife of William Gant. Mary Ann Bradford Russell Gant died in 1839 according to probate records. I found her son David Russell and his wife buried in the James Cemetery along with a Robert Bradford and wife Joanna Freeman Bradford. I did not find a stone for Mary Ann Bradford Russell Gant. I actually went to the James Cemetery to look for Mary Ann Gant.

Re: Bradford in Middlesex, England, Pennsylvania and Delaware

Hey Gary,
I have not done a YDNA test. I'm not convinced that the benefit of doing it would justify the price. Maybe I'll change my mind in the future but for right now I'm content with just doing the research on my Bradford line.

Bradford in Middlesex, England, Pennsylvania and Delaware

ebradford44 — 2009-09-09 02:25:59Z

I am researching the Bradford family that lived in the Middlesex, England area. The first ancestor that I have is James Bradford who was born about 1788. He appears to have married Sarah Harvey in Stepney during 1812. I believe James died in Hackney during 1838 and Sarah died some time after 1871. The children of James and Sarah all seem to be born in Bethnal Green. They are James born in 1812, William born in 1815, Thomas born about 1823, Richard born in 1824, Samuel born about 1826, Sarah Ann born in 1831, Eliza born in 1833 and Louisa born in 1838. The son James seems to have married Sarah Read in Shoreditch during 1835. The son Thomas seems to have married or began living with Caroline Bremont about 1848. The daughter Eliza married John Pullum in Bethnal Green during 1858.

I descend through James and Sarah’s son, Thomas Bradford. Thomas was born about 1823, took up living with Caroline Bremont about 1848 and appears to have died in the Bethnal Green Workhouse during 1871. Thomas and Caroline had seven children that I know about. The son Thomas Samuel Bradford was born in Bethnal Green during 1849, married Mary Ann George in Bethnal Green during 1871 and died in St. George in the East during 1891. There is a daughter born in Bethnal Green just before the 1851 census who is listed as simply Female Bradford. The daughter Caroline was born in Bethnal Green during 1851. The son John William Bradford was born in Whitechapel about 1860, married Alice Frances Berry in Bethnal Green during 1878 and died at the Union Infirmary at Laytonstone during 1920. The son James was born in Whitechapel about 1864 and died in East Ham during 1828. The son William was born in Mile End Old Town during 1866. The daughter Jessie was born about 1870. According to the 1881 census, Caroline had two children after Thomas’ death to which she gave the surname Bradford: Alfred born during 1873 and Emma born during 1875.

I descend through Thomas and Caroline’s son, John William Bradford who married Alice Frances Berry. John and Alice had the following children: John born in 1879, Emily born in 1881, Thomas born in 1881, William born in 1884, Alice born in 1887, Henry born and died in 1891, Nellie born in 1892 and Albert born in 1894. They move from St George in the East about 1900 and moved to Essex County. John and Alice reside there until their deaths.

John and Alice’s son Albert is my grandfather. He married Rose Hannah Kelley in 1920. They lived in Barking, Essex until 1922 when they relocated to the Pittsburgh, PA area. In 1940 they moved to Newark, Delaware.

I’m looking for any addition information on this family.

dennismaness01 — 2009-08-25 16:38:54Z

Martha "Mattie" F Bradford is the eldest daughter of James Frank Bradford and Frances Caroline Phillips.

J. F. and Frances had eight children:
Joseph T. Bradford
Martha "Mattie" F. Bradford Williams
Mary E. Bradford Wyatt
James R. Bradford
Susan Ella Bradford Johnson
Laura Alice Bradford Majors
Frances Jeanette "Jennie" Bradford Barron

Re: Martha Frank Bradford

lmajors144 — 2009-08-03 19:58:40Z

My G Grandmother is Laura Alice Bradford Majors. Her daughter-in-law (my grandmother) told me what she knew of Laura's family. She gave me a list of Laura's siblings and their spouses and their children's names, if she knew them. All the research I have done has agreed with what she told me.

Specifically she told me that Laura's sister Mattie had married a Fred Williams and that they had 8 children. There is a Marriage Record for M F Bradford to F H Williams on 30 Nov 1879 in Van Zandt County, Texas which is where my Bradfords resided in 1880.

The oldest son of J F Bradford and Frances Phillips was Joseph Bradford. On the 1860 Census of Henderson County, TN Joseph Bradford was 1/12 years old. In the 1880 census of Van Zandt County, Texas F H Williams is listed with his wife, M F, and his brother-in-law Joseph Bradford, who is 19 years old.

J F Bradford and Frances are burried in Edom Cemetery, as are at least three of their children.

I am looking for Martha Frank Bradford that married Frederick Hooker Williams in 1874. She was born 13 May 1862 in Tennessee and died 16 Dec 1932 in Texas. She is buried in Edom Cemetery, Edom, TX. She is my wife's g grandmother. I know she was living with her daughter Cynthia E "Betty" Hinds nee Williams in 1930. Cynthia married William "Bill" Hinds. I cannot find any information on her ancestry at all.

Re: Martha Frank Bradford

There is a Phillips couple buried nearby the parents of Martha Frank Bradford's father-in-law and mother-in-law (JW Williams and Henrietta Williams). The only information on the markers is:
Rober L Phillips Nov 1886
Christine H Phillips Oct 1887

Do you have any information that would indicate this might be the parents of Frances Caroline?

Re: Martha Frank Bradford

lynnhuff57 — 2009-08-03 20:20:26Z

Amazing! Absolutely AMAZING! Frederick Hooker Williams and Martha Frank Bradford are buried in the Edom Cemetery and we live about a mile from the cemetery! Martha Bradford is the lady that spawned my wife's interest in her family history. My wife acquired a photo of Martha about two months ago, and we have been researching since then. We have since found that the parents of Frederick Hooker Williams are also buried in Edom. Now you are telling me that Martha's parents are also buried in the same cemetery. We just moved to Edom a few years ago. Now it seems my wife was moving home.

Thank you so much for the information! Do you have any photos of the Bradfords?

Was she married before? Also one of her last name spellings was Rawles. We are not kin to the Bradford of Mayflower fame, but possible one of his uncles. Our line went from Virginia, to NC, to SC, to Texas and from there all over the place. Please EM me at hhillard@aol.com. Any information would be appreciated. Harriette
