My Great grandmother was Hattie Garfield Bradley. She was born in 1880 in Cheshire Connecticut, and her line in New Haven County, CT can be traced back to William Bradley b. 1505 and lived in Coventry, Yorkshire, England. I have several other Bradley lines who are also descended from this William through his Great Grandson William Bradley b. 1619 who was the immigrant to America. I am now doing research for a friend who also has Bradleys, but they are from Vermont. We are specifically stuck on Ajuna Bradley b. 1780 in Vermont. He m. Betsey Brimhall and had at least 2 sons- Freeman b. 1815 and Ajuna b. 1823. Freeman went to Ohio, then to Kansas. Can anyone identify the parents of Ajuna (1780)?

Thank you, everyone who has shared a Bradley family story, including James, who shared about his Bradley kin but also other Bradley stories. And especially the woman he dubbed St. Bradley. Indeed she was Amy Morris Bradley, 1806-1921, born in Maine. The Duke University Libraries have the correspondence, diaries, and records that document this New Englander's duties as a nurse at U.S. Sanitary Commission convalescent camps during the Civil War and her efforts to establish free schools for blacks and whites in Wilmington, N.C. directly following the war. Here is an inspiring article about her: http://civilwarwomen.blogspot.com/2006/10/amy-morris-bradley.html
Thanks again!

My favorite Wilmington, N.C. Bradley was not my Bradley kin (ex-Quaker slave owners); she was post Civil War from up-North; I think her first name may have been Amy? Anyway, she started schools for ex-slaves; to me, she was St. Bradley.

My line of Bradleys i believe came from County Cork in Ireland. they landed in Jamestown Virginia in the early 1600s John Bradley seems to be the progenitar of this line of Bradleys. Ill have to look up the dates but the family moved from Virginia to North Carolina to Rutherford county then i believe some moved on to Tenn.
