Introducing Robert Bradford
Written by: Bobbi Spiker-Conley & Jim Bradford Our 5th great-grandfather, Robert Bradford, was born about 1730 in Ireland. He and his wife, Margaret (last name unknown) had four sons and two daughters. (Their son, James, is our 4th great-grandfather.) Robert died in October 1802 at the age of 72. A transcription of his Will may be viewed here. Robert and Margaret's exact burial locations are unknown but it is quite possible they are buried at the Bradford Farm Family Cemetery in Greene County, Pennsylvania. One of their descendants, Francis Robert Bradford, visited the family burying ground in 1950 and wrote the following (transcription provided courtesy USGenWeb by Bryan Bradford):
Many of the stones cataloged in this list appear on the website, Find a Grave. They had been submitted by another descendant, Jim Bradford. I reached out to him and here's what he told me:
Jim now shares his DNA results, photos, histories and other discoveries on his newly created Facebook group called "Bradford Descendants DNA Plus." Drop by soon and meet some more of your cousins.
