Do you have any information on this man?

BRADFORD, LEMUEL
State: LA Year: 1820
County: Feliciana Parish Record Type: Federal Population Schedule
Township: No Township Listed Page: 041
Database: LA 1820 Federal Census Index

I believe that he may have been the Elemuel Bradford of the 1st MS Vols (from the Natchez District, including the Felicianas) who responded, as a private, to the call of Gen. Claiborne to go to the other part of the MS Terr. in 1813 to fight the Creek Indians in what is today Alabama. At any rate, he was one of the few survivors of the massacre at Fort Mims in Baldwin Co. AL Aug. 30, 1813. I am working with a professor at the U of South AL to construct a list of participants at the fort. It was the worst massacre in American history.

Since he was in the Felicianas in 1820, I wondered if he migh have been a son of David Bradford of the Myrtles?

Thanks.
