Goodspeed Bibliographies, 1887, Gibson County, TN

Robert D. Bradford is of English descent, and was born in Bedford
County, Tenn., July 23,1833, son of Absalom and Margaret (Warren)
Bradford, who were North Carolinians, and moved to Middle Tennessee when
young. Here they married and became the parents of twelve children. They
came to Gibson County in 1836, where they followed agricultural pursuits
and spent the remainder of their days. Absalom Bradford was a Democrat,
and was a soldier in the War of 1812, and was with Jackson on his
Seminole campaign. He was a man of broad mind and liberality, and died
in 1849 [NOTE: not so - he appears in the 1850 Gibson Co. census]. His
widow continued to reside on the old homestead, and died in 1878. Her
mother's maiden name was Bradford and she was a relative of Gov.
Bradford, of Plymouth Colony. Robert D. Bradford's early days were spent
on a farm, and while growing up, his education was wholly neglected. At
the age of sixteen he began to battle his own way in the world. He
delighted in gaming and horse-racing, but at the same time carried on
farming. In 1853 he married Mary Baker, who was born January 8, 1830,
and to their union were born eleven children. In 1855 Mr. Bradford
located in the woods on the present side of Bradford, and here has since
made his home. When the railroad was built, a town sprang up and took
the name of Kimble; but was afterward changed to Bradford in honor of
our subject. Mr. Bradford owns eighty acres of land adjacent to the town
and in addition to farming, trades to some extent in stock. In 1861 he
joined Capt. Walker's company of Twelfth Tennessee Confederate Infantry
and was so severely wounded at Shiloh, that he was disabled for further
service. He is a Democrat, and a member of the Christian Church. His
wife is a Missionary Baptist.
