>(A) John Bradford, son of Richard, was born about 1662. He married (1)
unknown or (2) Rebecca Pace (which seems unlikely)<

John Bradford's will dated 3 Nov 1732 and probated 6 Nov 1735 in
Brunswick Co, VA lists his children and widow Rebecca and details his
slaves and land holdings in Brunswick Co, VA and Northampton Co, NC. John
Bradford's neighbor on Beaver Pond Creek in Brunswick Co, VA was John Moore
who married Tabitha Pace, sister of Rebecca Pace. Their father, Richard
Pace's will probated in Bertie Co, NC 12 Mar 1736 mentions seven married
daughters including Tabitha Moore and Rebecca Bradford. Furthermore,
Richard Pace patented 285 acres of land in Prince George Co on 12 Jul 1718
which he subsequently assigned or gave to John Bradford.

John's son Richard, b. abt 1719, inherited 400 acres of land from his
father on the north side of the Tar River in Pamlico and then disappears
from the records. My research has not turned up a wife or descendants for
him.

p.s. Capt. Richard Bradford who married Anna Roles had three sons Richard,
Thomas and Philemon but not a John according to the David Bradford book and
Sandlund.
