I am descendant of this line. A Rebecca (some accounts say middle name was
Bartlett, but I have not confirmed this) Bradford (b. 12/26/1752) married John
Branch (1750-3/14/1806). Rebecca's parents were John Bradford (1708-10/31/1787)
and Patience Reed (1723-1768). John and Patience had seven children: John (b.
bef 1763); Joseph John (b. 5/15/1764); Henry B. 12/4/1761-1838); Frances
(5/25/1759-8/19/1843); Tabitha (12/7/1756-1828); Elizabeth (b. 5/1/1754); and
Rebecca B. John Bradford (1708-1787) married twice more to Dorothea Miriam
Burgess (m. 9/11/1768, 3 children) and to Elizabeth Smith (m. 1774, 5 children)

John's parents were John Bradford (~1662-bef.11/6/1735) and Rebecca Pace (born
bef. 1686). John and Rebecca Pace had six children that I know of. Sarah;
Rebecca; Frances; Nathaniel (b. abt. 1712); Richard; and John (from above).

John's parents were Richard (1636-abt. 1716) and Frances Taylor. They had three
children that I know of: John, Richard Jr. (1660-7/1724) and Ralph (abt.
1664-abt. 1716).

I don't know Richard's parents. I have had people tell me that they are
descendant from the Mayflower Bradfords also, but I think this is false
information. William Bradford had three sons and only one would have been old
enough to have a child in 1636 (John b. 1618). However, he would have only been
18 at this time and according to record didn't marry until 1650. Another was to
disprove this theory is that according to my information, Richard was born in
England and died in Virginia. If he was a Mayflower Bradford, he should have
been born in Mass. Therefore, I believe our Bradfords are a different line
altogether.

These Bradfords are the ones who settled in the Charles City, Virginia area.

Hope this information helps.

These Bradfords lived in
