Subject: [BRADFORD-L] Betsey (Elizabeth) M. Bradford m. Nelson Wells

Does anyone know the parents of Betsey Bradford who
married Nelson Wells in Chemung Co., NY, on 11 July
1833. She was born 20 June 1812 in Blenheim, Schoharie
Co., NY. I believe she died in Will County, IL late
in the century after being widowed in 1860.

There were three Bradfords in Blenheim Twp. in 1810:
John S., Silas, and Simon; in 1820 census John S. was
gone; Silas and Simeon were left. Simeon had two
daughters under age 10. Schoharie County Historical
Society could not find a baptism for Betsey. In the
1880 census Betsey identifies her father as being from
CT and her mother born VT. She was 67, widow, living
with a married daughter Juliette Sharpe in New Lenox,
Will Co., IL.

Can anyone help with this family?
