I am trying to tie in William Bradford the Printer, b.1660. d. May 23, 1752. He immigrated from England to Philadelphia, PA. He set up the first printing press in Philadelphia in 1685. He married Elizabeth Soules and had one son that became a printer, Andrew Bradford. William had connections to Benjamin Franklin but it wasn't a pleasant connection to say the least. His son, Andrew married twice: first to Pricilla Parker and then later to Cornelia Smith. If I can connect William Bradford, the Printer, to John Bradford (b.1854 and died 1921) I would be so happy. John Bradford was from Clapham, Surrey, England. John's sibblings were: Walter, Helen, Edward, Arthur, and Emily. I am really at a dead end right now because I cannot seem to link these two people so I can get on with my research! If Anyone can help me, and if you are related to these two, I can share quite a bit of info about this John Bradford all the way from now to 1776. I even have old photos of him and his estat!
e!.

Thank you for any help you can provide me.

Sincerely,
Dale Oakley
