Hi everyone:

This is my first posting to this list.

The family I'm stuck on is Charles H. Bradford and his wife, Eliza
Ledbetter. They were born in South Carolina (parents unknown). They
lived in Georgia, then Alabama before at least part of the family
settled in Erath County, TX in the Double Mountain area, near Lipan.

Charles died June 8, 1889 and Eliza died December 11, 1886. Both are
buried in Lipan, Hood County, TX.

Their children are as follows:

1) Mary Elizabeth Bradford born Aug 15 1836
2) Lucy M. Bradford born Jan 13 1839 married Dec 14 1882 in Erath to
Mason Lowe
3) Andrew J. Bradford born Mar 4 1841
4) Margaret J. Bradford born Apr 27 1846 married William Axline Nov 1875
5) Nancy Caralina Bradford born Sep 20 1847 died Erath Dec 4 1940 (she
never married and is the only child mentioned in her father's will)
6) Sarah Frances Bradford born Feb 4 1849
7) Martha Isabelle Bradford born Apr 30 1851 married Reuben Sanders
McKinzey in Fort Worth Dec 2 1875 died Jan 12 1929 in Erath. (Martha and
her husband bought the family farm from Charles Bradford. Martha and
Reuben moved to Morgan Mill and are buried in Bishop Cemetery)
8) William J. Bradford born Mar 24 1853 married Robbie Chambless
9) Robert Samson Bradford born Oct 20 1855 married Sarah M. Ball in
Erath on Jan 8, 1880
10) James Henry Thomas Bradford born May 29 1858 married Mary A. Spence
11) George M. Bradford born Jan 5 1860 married Sarah M. Taylor
12) Samuel Bradford married Matilda Perkins
and possibly
13) Charles Bradford, may have died in infancy.

There is no trace of the children, other than Martha and Nancy after
1880.

Any connection would be greatly appreciated, I've been stuck on this
line for 10 years and can't seem to find a trace of them!

Thanks for your help.
