Francis Bradley was born Abt:1660,possibly in Talbot Co,Maryland area,where he met Rebecca,but not confirmed,He was in Talbot Co,Maryland,before he went to PA.Some say he died in 1734,but by his will,he signed it in 1735,so he could not of died in 1734,also his inventory list was executed in 1737 November,I feel he died in 1737, In Lancaster P.A,Will was executed in Drumore Township,P.A.His will and inventory list is in Documents,go back to main page,go to links top left,into More Bradley Sites,click on Bradley web Site #2,then to Documents,He married Rebecca Morgan,b:March 25,1675 d/o Evan Morgan,from Wales,Francis and Rebecca married on or abt: July 02,1707,Maryland,found some info she may have remarried in 1745 and went back to Maryland,Talbot Co.With her family.At time of Francis`s death he owned 7 acres of wheat.the Children named,dates of birth are not confirmed and dont correspond with their marriage date found in Maryland archives marriage records. Children of Francis & Rebecca are: 1.Ann Bradley b.1695,Lancaster County,Pennsylvania,d.1734:m. Issac Alexander. 2. Francis Bradley,b.1697,Lancaster County,Pennsylvania. 3.Marie Bradley,b.1699.Lancaster County,Pennsylvania.d.1734? 4.Rebecca Bradley,b.1701,Lancaster County,P.A d.1734? 5.Henry Bradley sr.b.1712,Lancaster County,P.A.d.December03,1777,York County,P.A. James Bradley,b.1720,Lancaster County,Pennsylvania: d.1796,Bourbon County,Kentucky. Notes... Not much is known on this and we are trying to verify, Francis was in Talbot County,Maryland,then to Lancaster County,P.A. Through the Historical Society,I was told he may have also been in York County,P.A. I have a copy of his will wrote in he elected on March 13,1735.And looks like he died April 3,1738.And will was executed in Chester County,P.A,leaving all to his wife Rebecca and their children. I have a copy of his property list,priced Nov 23,1737,and at the time of his death he lived in Drumore Township,P.A. Will in book A Vol 1 pg 31,1738 Lancaster County P.A. Lancaster County,P.A. Has idea he may have been Quaker,but unknown.Talked to Minister Jeff Towrance of the Hopewell Presbyterian Church,in North Carolina who has spent his life doing research,and a Historian friend of his,and they do confirm we are from Scotland,moved to Ireland and were called Scotch-irish.I am still waiting for info from York Co,Maryland,And Hopewell,to find out more info on this matter,so hope to have more info soon.I have been invited to North Carolina for a complete Tour,will be doing this by the end of the year,so will have all pictures and etc, Keep checking back for any updates,will be entered as I recieve them all.I am checking out the possibility his father was Henry B:1640,This Henry was in Dorchester Co.MD,next to Talbot Co.In the Letters I found it talks of the Bradley`s,Francis`s family,so they were close to where he was at time of letter Talbot.
