Avery is the son of William Bradford, born about 1784.


Here's the household of William, as listed in the 1850
census for Worcester county:

William Bradford, age 66, Farmer
Avery Bradford, age 21, Farmer
Mary J. Bradford, age 16
Gilley Bradford, age 5
James S. Bradford, age 3
Nancy Bradford, age 50

William's father is the Avery Bradford who appears in
the 1790 census for Worcester County.

On 12 Jan 1810, Avery (the elder) apprenticed William
(age 17 at the time) to Henry White, blacksmith.

Avery's will, written 12 Apr 1810, was proved shortly
afterwards, on 1 May 1810. Here's an abstract: To son
Avery Bradford, the plantation. To four youngest
children Gilley Bradford, Darby Bradford, Annie
Bradford, Hetty Bradford. To my wifeSophia Bradford.
To son William Bradord. Wit; Nixon Davis, Henry
Bardford, Samson Burbage.

Some land records relating to the elder Avery:

On 5 Mar 1770 Avery bought 61 acre tract called "Sand
Hill" from Thomas Purnell, son of John Purnell.

In 1798 Solomon Bradford sold the tracts Solomons Lot
and Lot for Sale to Avery.

On 8 Mar 1799, Solomon Bradford sold parts of the
tracts "Purnells Industry" and "Conclusion" to Avery,
and on the same day both Solomon and Avery sold to
John Bradford.

Haven't been able to find Avery's father - but think
it a likely possibility that his father is the John
Bradford who is son of the John Bradford who came from
Accomack Co., Virginia.
