I came across your information regarding Thomas Bradford in our mve and
wondered if you had ever found your Thomas. Much of the information that
you faxed was smeared by the fax machine, but it did give me some more clues
to follow and I was reminded of how generous of you it was to go to the
trouble.
I was able to find my Thomas Bradford's grave in Southern Indiana on a
private farm in a little family cemetery, where several other Bradofrds and
Coles were.
If you ever find any information on the Thomas Bradford of Greene Co.
Indiana I include my e-mail and hope you will pass it on as I will to you.
Thanks,
Barbara Carmel
