Hi,
I'm new to the list and thought I'd send out what I have on my mother's
Bradford line.

In my grandmother's things, I found a box with a silver baby cup, with
initials I.A.B. and a silver baby spoon with initials E.J.B. There was a
note stating that the spoon had belonged to Eliza Jane Bradford, and the
cup had belonged to her brother, Isaac A. Bradford. Eliza's son John B.
Morton had brought these things with him from KY in 1871 to Dallas,
Dallas Co., TX.

There was also a note from my g-grandmother, Gabriella (Morton)
Bolinger, stating that they had lived in Lexington, Fayette Co., KY in
1831. Yet another note (love these notes!) from my mother gives the
birth and death dates for John B. Morton and wife, Lutitia Ellen
Burnett:

John - b. Jan 28, 1831 (Lexington) and d. Jan 4, 1898 (Dallas)
Lutitia - b. June 16, 1842 (MO) and d. Mar 24, 1895 (Dallas)
They are both buried in Old Oak Cliff Cemetery, Dallas, Dallas Co., TX.

In the IGI I found they were mar. Jan 23, 1859 in Moniteau Co., MO

They had the following children: William Archie, Ben E. (Ed), Henry
Clifford, Clyde, and Gabriella, all b. in Dallas.

The only other things I've found were a listing in a book on KY Obits.
stating Eliza Morton, dau. of the late John Bradford, and wife of
William R. Morton of Lexington, Fayette Co., KY d. Aug 1, 1833; and a
IGI marriage for Wm. R. Morton and Eliza D. Bradford Mar 6, 1830 in
Fayette Co., KY.

Sorry to be so long-winded, but this is all I know. Thanks for any
help.
