A lot of your trouble is that Philemon had several brothers and they
all named their sons after their brothers. So you have a bunch of 1st
cousins named Philemon, Richard, Thomas, etc. who all named their sons
after their brothers--I can't sort my Thomas out either. I even found
a couple of cousins with the same name, born within months of each
other, in the same area. Almost impossible to sort out which is
which--even though you know they are all family.

Surname: NC Bradfords
-------------------------

There is a family of Bradfords in NC, who originated in Va with
Richard
Bradford who owned FluerDue plantation. The most memorable name of the
sons who came to NC is Philemon.
I did a lot of research on this family, since I thought my Bradfords
might
be connected; however, I have been unable to prove a connection.

A man named David Bradford has written a very definitive book on these
people. I can't remember the title of the book; however, National
Genealogical
Society has the book in their library. I did have his E-mail address,
but
my E-mail crashed and it was lost. These people were in Halifax County
and at one time in Edgecombe Co. NC. There is another family in NC in
Orange
Co., so you might want to check them out. There was a branch of
Philemons
family who immigrated to TN.

I have been looking for my Thomas Bradford's parents for the past 10
years
with no luck, so I really wish you luck.
