Adam,
It's a help to be able to eliminate people. You are always a step (or a mile) ahead of me. Thanks for sharing all your hard work.

I don't believe the grandson of this Samuel Bradford who left will in
New Castle Co. was our Samuel, for a variety of reasons. First, we
know our Samuel was living in Worcester when he was 15 years old,
which means he was probably born there or at least that his parents
were living there when he was 15. Also, the grandson of New Castle
Sam was probably the Samuel Bradford for whom I found the following
probate abstract in New Castle County:

Samuel Bradford. W. Clay Crk. Hd. Aug 22, 1774. Sept 16, 1774. K. 166.
Wife, Catran; daus., Eliz and Mary; son, James; grandmother, Juda
herris. Exc. Catran Bradford, William Gallaher.

This Samuel who died in 1774 in New Castle is probably the grandson of
the Samuel who died 1763-1767 and is probably the Samuel Bradford who
was christened in New Castle on 10 November 1761 at age 18. He married
Catherine Lewis, who died 25 February 1788.
