PREFACE
The Manuscript of DESCENDANTS OF ISAAC
BRADLEY was prepared by the late Leonard Abram Brad-
ley in 1896-1898, as evidenced by the several dates found
thereon, relating to his visits to East Haven, the final one be-
ing on January 30th, 1897, when he added his initials to the
last remark on page 48. The last recorded date is that of
January 28th, 1898, upon the death of Mrs. Wm. I. Townsend.
This was his second MS on the Isaac Bradley branch.
The first, still extant, contains many collateral groups wholly
or partly eliminated from the second.
Previous to that special study, he had, in common with
other New Haven genealogists, attempted to outline the his-
tory of all the Bradleys in America, but all found the task
of such magnitude that it could not be accomplished.
When Mr. Leonard Abram Bradley passed away, his
brother Dr. William Lockwood Bradley examined his pa-
pers and carefully put them away where the Bradley heirs
found them in 1915, at the death of the last survivor of the
family, Miss Susan Lockwood Bradley, to whose memory
this work is dedicated, as a mark of our love and affection.
The only additions to the MS have been a few biograph-
ical remarks, besides the Index in two parts, considered neces-
sary for easy reference.

Reproduced from a daguerreotype taken in the summer of 1856.
Mrs. Strong was then contemplating a trip to the South of
France, with her daughter, Mrs. Theodore Armstrong Bailey,
and her husband, for the benefit of Mr. Bailey's health.
"Aunt Strong," as she was lovingly called, desired to have with
her, during her absence, a picture of all her New Haven nieces,
and hence this group.
From left to right — standing:
First: Mrs. Wm. I. Townsend, nee Elizabeth Bradley Durand.
Second: Miss Mary Bradley Shipman.'
Third: Miss Frances Hawley — afterwards Mrs. David S.
Egleston.
Fourth: Mrs. Rufus King McHarg, nee Harriet Hunt Shipman.
Fifth: Miss Elizabeth Cebra Bradley.
Sixth: Mrs. John C. Hollister, nee Sarah Strong Shipman.
Sitting:
First: Miss Charlotte Durand Shipman.
Second: MRS. CHARLES LLOYD STRONG, nee Jennette
Amy Bradley.
Third: Miss Susan Lock wood Bradley.
Fourth: Miss Mary Louise Bradley.
Miss Frances Hawley, now Mrs. David S. Egleston, and
the only survivor of that group at present (January 25th,
1917), was doubly connected with the Bradley-Shipman
families. With the Bradleys through the Lockwoods of
Norwalk and with Mrs. McHarg through the Kings of
Ridgefield.
She was on very intimate terms with them all and mar-
ried in 1858 David S. Egleston, of New York, now
deceased.

THE BRADLEY FAMILY
The Hon. Charles W. Bradley, who resided in New
Haven, Conn., at one time, and died there March 8th, 1865,
was much interested in the study of surnames. In 1841 he
prepared an essay on the surname of Bradley, in which he
states, "that Bradley is among the earliest of" surnames, being
"purely Anglo-Saxon, compounded of 'brad' z=z broad, wide,
and 'ley' = a field, pasture." He gives a table, showing the
various ways in which the name has been written, from 1193
to 1841.
He writes as follows : "The correct orthography is Brad-
ley. The family seems to have been exceedingly fertile.
Long ago the name was so numerous in the northwestern part
of New Haven that that portion was called Bradley town.
In the western part of the town of Litchfield, Conn., the name
acquired such prominence at one time as to have given to it
the title, Bradley-ville. The name is met with far and wide
throughout New England, and generally in those towns and
states which have been colonized by her sons. In Scotland it
is not uncommon, and in the north of Ireland it greatly
abounds." It is said that those who bear the name in Ireland
are descendants of some who emigrated from England to Ire-
land, in the days of Cromwell.
One Nathan Bradley settled in Dorchester, Mass., at an
early date. He married Mary, daughter of Richard Evans,
May 17th, 1666. A "History of the Bradlee family with par-
ticular reference to the descendants of Nathan Bradley of
Dorchester, Mass.," was prepared by Samuel Bradlee Doggett,
and published in 1878. It shows that the name of Brad/ry, in
that branch, was changed to Brad/^, prior to 1768, by one of
the descendants, to avoid mistakes. Mr. Doggett mentions
1135555
many places of the name of Bradley in England, and many
persons of the name of Bradley who resided in England at
various periods. One of these was "Thomas Bradley, Doctor
of Divinity, and chaplain to King Charles the First, afterwards
prebend in the Cathedral of York, and rector of Ackworth in
County Ebor. He was 67 years 7 months old in August,
1665. His son, Savile, was Fellow of Magdalen College in
Oxford; and another son, Thomas, a merchant in Virginia."
One Daniel Bradley came to Boston in the ship "Elizabeth"
from London, having embarked April 8th, 1635, and taken the
oath of allegiance, as appears by certificate from the parish of
St. Alphage, Cripplegate. He was then twenty years of age.
(See New England Gen. Reg. for 1860, p. 306.) He settled
in Haverhill, Mass., where he married Mary Williams May
21st, 1662. He had the following children, viz.: Daniel;
Joseph; Martha, b. in 1667; Mary, b. March 1st, 1670, d.
March 14th, 1670; Mary, b. April 16th, 1671; Sarah, b. Au-
gust 19th, 1673 ; Hannah, b. May 28th, 1677 ; Isaac, b. Febru-
ary 25th, 1680; Abraham, b. March 14th, 1684. The date of
birth of two of the sons, Daniel and Joseph, is not given in the
Haverhill town records, but the fact they were the oldest of
the children appears from the Probate Records of Essex
County, Mass. (Book 4, Old Series, pp. 243, 415. See also
Index of Records of the Circuit Court of Essex Co., in the
Probate Office.)
Daniel Bradley, the father, was killed by the Indians Au-
gust 13th, 1689. Isaac, his son, was captured by the Indians
September 4th, 1695, but escaped, and returned to Haverhill.
Daniel Bradley, Jr., married January 5th, 1687, Hannah Dow,
and had four daughters and one son. His daughters, Mary and
Hannah, were killed by the Indians March 15th, 1697. Joseph
Bradley (son of the first Daniel) married April 14th, 1691,
Hannah Heath and had 4 daughters and 6 sons. Two of his
children were killed by the Indians March 15th, 1697. Febru-
ary 8th, 1704, a party of six Indians attacked the house of
36
Joseph Bradley. His wife, "who had a kettle of boiling soup
over the fire, seized a ladle, filling it with the steaming liquid,
discharged it on the "head of an Indian, killing him." She
was taken captive and carried to Canada, and sold there. She
was afterwards redeemed and returned to Haverhill. (See
History of Haverhill, by B. L. Merrick, p. 107.)
Others of the descendants of the first Daniel Bradley of
Haverhill were slain by the Indians. (See History of Haver-
hill by Merrick, also History of Haverhill by Chase.)
One John Bradley was a resident of Salem, Mass., at an
early period. His will was proved in 1642. Mr. S. B. Dog-
gett, in his History of the Dorchester Bradleys, states that
this John Bradley married, moved to Dedham, then to Dor-
chester, where he had one child, Salathiel, born March 16th,
1642, and died at six weeks of age.
Richard Bradley resided in Boston in 1651. He married
and had children. (See New Eng. Gen. Reg. for 1853, p.
339; and for 1855, pp. 172, 310.)
One William Bradley was residing in Dorchester Octo-
ber 19th, 1664. (New Eng. Gen. Reg., Vol. 5, p. 389.)
One Joshua Bradley was in Ipswich, Mass., March 18th,
1664. He married Judith Lumber or Lume of Rowley,
Mass., May 26th, 1663. The records of the town of Rowley,
Mass., show that Martha, daughter of Joshua Bradley, .was
born "29th of 12th month, 1663." (See Book of Ipswich Rec-
ord of Deeds in the Registry of Deeds for Essex Co., Mass.,
folio 225 ; Essex Institute Hist. Col., Vol. 23, p. 135 ; Essex
Institute Hist. Col., Vol. 4, p. 60.)
Peter Bradley resided in New London, Conn., in 1654, and
married Elizabeth, daughter of Jonathan Brewster. He died
in June, 1662. They had the following children, viz. : Eliza-
beth, b. March 16th, 1655; Peter, b. September 7th, 1658;
and Lucretia, b. in 1660. Peter Bradley, Jr., married May 9th,
1678, Mary Christopher of New London, and died in August,
1687 leaving but one child, Christopher, b. July 11th, 1679.
Mary, the widow of Peter Bradley, Jr., married in 1693,
Thomas Young of Southhold, L. I., and removed with her
son, Christopher, to Southold. (See Miss Caulkin's History
of New London, Conn., pp. 87, 266, 278.)
Another William Bradley settled in New Haven, Conn.,
prior to August, 1644. He took the oath of fidelity August
5th, 1644. He married Alice, daughter of Roger Prichard
(of Springfield, Mass., and of Milford, Conn.) February 18th,
1645. According to tradition he emigrated from Bingley, in
the West Riding of Yorkshire, England; was at one time an
officer in the Parliamentary army and a friend of Cromwell.
His mother died, probably, before 1634. On her death his
father married, for his second wife, Elizabeth , and had
by her the following named children, to wit: Daniel, Joshua,
Nathan, Ellen and Stephen. After the death of his father,
say, about 1645, his stepmother (Elizabeth Bradley), with her
four sons and one daughter, emigrated to New England, and
came to New Haven, to reside near her stepson, William
Bradley.
Mr. Zebul Bradley (born in Guilford in January, 1780; a
great grandson of Nathan Bradley, half brother of the said
William Bradley, and a resident of New Haven for many
years), informed the writer that the said Nathan Bradley was
seven years old when he left England; that when the com-
pany, with which Elizabeth Bradley and her children were
associated, were passing through the streets of London, on
the eve of their departure from England, Nathan became sep-
arated from the "company, and lost them. He sat down on
the door steps of a house, and began to cry. A woman,
hearing him, asked, "What is the matter?" He answered, "I
have lost my mother." She asked, "Where were the company
to put up at night?" He replied, "At the sign of the White
Horse of the Cripplegate." She said, "I know where that is."
Thereupon she told a boy to take Nathan to the Inn referred
38
to. When he arrived there, he found his mother weeping, not
expecting to see him again."
Another account of the emigration of this branch of the
family (recorded in the family Bible of Cyrus Bradley of
Guilford, Conn.) speaks of Nathan Bradley as six years old
when he arrived from England.
Daniel Bradley (one of the brothers of Nathan Bradley)
took the oath of fidelity the '7th of the 2nd month, 1657." He
died in May, 1658, intestate and unmarried, whereupon at a
Court, held November 2nd. 1658, William Bradley and John
Allen appeared respecting their brother Daniel Bradley's es-
tate. At a Court, held May 30th, 1660, the estate of Daniel
Bradley was ordered to be divided between his mother (Eliza-
beth) and his brothers, Joshua, Nathan, Stephen and William,
and his sister, Ellen (wife of John Allen), "William, being a
brother by the father's side," to receive only half a share.
The said Joshua Bradley is noted on the New Haven rec-
ords as having attained the age of puberty in 1652-3. He
married and had a son, named Joshua, born December 31st,
1665. Nothing further has been discovered as to this branch
of the family.
Elizabeth Bradley (the mother of Joshua, Nathan and
Stephen Bradley) married John Parmely or Parmelee, of New
Haven, November 8th, 1653. He died leaving a will, dated
November 8th, 1659 (recorded in the New Haven Probate
Records in Book 1, p. 86), in which he devises to his wife,
Elizabeth Parmely, his house, lot and all his estate during her
natural life, and after her death he gives one-half to his son,
John Parmely of Guilford, one-quarter to his grandchild, Na-
thaniel Parmely, and one-quarter to his wife to dispose of to
her son, Stephen. The said Elizabeth Parmely (widow) mar-
ried John Evatts or Evarts, of Guilford, May 27th, 1668, who
died May 10th, 1669.
Elizabeth Evatts of Guilford made a deed to Roger Ailing
of New Haven, dated May 30th, 1671 (recorded in the New
39
Haven Land Records in Book 1, p. ), reciting the devise
to her in the will of John ParmeW, late of New Haven, de-
ceased, of the testator's dwelling house and lot in New Haven,
and conveys to Ailing all her right, title, etc., in said house and
lot. Following on the record is the following deed : "I
Steven Bradly of Guilford, with the consent of my mother
Evats, in consideration" * * * "Do by these presents assign,"
etc., "to William Stone" * * * "all the right that my mother
hath given to me according to my father Parmelee's will, de-
ceased, in New Haven." Dated . Signed by "Elizabeth
Evat," "Stephen Bradly." Elizabeth Evatts died in January,
1683. The nuncupative will of Elizabeth Evatts, late of Guil-
ford, was proved in the New Haven Probate Court June 13th,
1683 (Book 1, p. 94.)
Her sons, Nathan and Stephen, removed from New Ha-
ven to Guilford, probably, prior to December 2nd, 1658. Ac-
cording to the Guilford records (Vol. 1, p. 172), at a Court,
held December 2nd, 1658, "Nathan Bradley and Stephen
Bradley, aged the one about twenty years and the other about
sixteen years," testified in a suit.
There is nothing on record to show the age of William
Bradley at the time of his arrival in New Haven, but it is
probable that at the time of the arrival of his half brothers and
sister, in 1645, Daniel Bradley was ten years old, Joshua was
eight, Nathan was seven, Ellen was five, and Stephen was
three years old.
It should be mentioned here that William Bradley owned
land on what is now Grove Street at the westerly corner of
Mill Lane, and conveyed a home lot here to his son, Benjamin,
by deed dated March 30th, 1683, recorded in the New Haven
Land Records in Book 1, p. 138, April 6th, 1683. As to where
he resided at the first, I have not determined, but he removed
in 1649, according to some authorities, to the East farms, after-
wards in the town of North Haven. These farms were allot-
ted to David Atwater, Nathaniel Turner, William Potter, Rich-
40
ard Mansfield, Francis Brewster and Governor Eaton. The
land of Mr. Brewster passed into the possession of William
Bradley. (See "History of the Colony of New Haven," by
Edward E. Atwater, p. 213.)
After Mr. Bradley's removal to the East Farms, he con-
tinued to come in to the services oi the First Church on the
Sabbath. His children were baptized in that church.
William Bradley was one of the "Townsmen or Select-
men of the Town of New Haven" in 1656, 1657, 1658, 1662,
1669, 1673, 1674. 1675, 1676, 1677, 1678, 1679 and 1680. He
was also one of the Deputies to the Connecticut General As-
sembly, from New Haven, in May 1675, 1676, 1678, 1679,
1680, 1683. (See "History of the City of New Haven," by
Edward E. Atwater, pp. 438. 441.)
He died prior to May 29th, 1692, leaving a will dated June
22nd, 1683, recorded in the New Haven Probate Records in
Book 2, p. 110, in which he mentions his sons, Joseph, Abra-
ham, Benjamin, Nathaniel, also his daughters, Munson, Todd
and Brocket, also his wife, but not by name. The inventory of
his estate was made May 29th, 1692.
His half sister, Ellen Bradley, married John Allen, of New
Haven, October 14th, 1652. The will of John Allen describes
him as of New Haven. It is dated May 6th, 1689, and was
recorded in the New Haven Probate Records in Book 2, p.
99, March 26th, 1691. John Allen's wife, Ellen, having died,
he married Susannah Coe, January 11th, 1671-72. His second
wife died April 3rd, 1746, aged 93. He died probably in
1691. His children by his first wife (Ellen) were: 1, Eliza-
beth, b. September 11th, 1653 ; d. July 3rd, 1701. (She m. Ser-
geant John Hobson or Hopson of Guilford, being his third

who m. Mary Fowler January 20th, 1710, and had children.)

Nathan Bradley and Stephen Bradley (two of the half
brothers of William Bradley of New Haven) married. We
shall see in another place set forth the history of some of the
descendants of William Bradley, and of some of the descend-
ants of Nathan Bradley and Stephen Bradley.
The Hon. Charles W. Bradley, in his essay on the surname
of Bradley, states that the heraldic arms of the family of
William Bradley are described as: "Entire, field argent; Chev-
ron Sable" ; the crest, "an open helmet" ; the motto being,
"Pascuum latum et nullum gratiae." The truth of this state-
ment is confirmed by tradition, handed down in different
branches of the Bradley family of New Haven and Guilford.
We proceed now to speak of other branches of the Brad-
ley family.
Francis Bradley was a resident of Branford, Conn., at an
early day. He acquired land there on the 1st day of May,
1648. In his youth he was articled, as has been suggested, to
Governor Theophilus Eaton, according to the custom of the
times, and was a member of his family. His term of service,
with Governor Eaton expired in 1650. He must have resided
in Branford till February 16th, 1660, for his name appears in
a list, of that date, of persons entitled to draw for a division
of land (Vol. 1 of Branford Town Records, p. 408.) He re-
moved soon after, in 1660, to Fairfield, Conn., where he mar-
ried Ruth Barlow, a daughter of John Barlow. He was made
a freeman from Fairfield in October, 1664. He had four
sons and three daughters.
42
Justice Joseph P. Bradley, of the Supreme Court of the
United States, was very much interested in the study of the
history of the various branches of the Bradley family, and
devoted moments of leisure to the subject. He prepared an
article on the history of Francis Bradley (from whom he was
descended) and of some of his descendants for the ''History
of Fairfield, Conn., by Mrs. Elizabeth H. Schenck," of which
Volume 1st was published in 1889. He had some correspond-
ence with me upon the relationship between the said Francis
Bradley and William Bradley of New Haven. He was of
the opinion that Francis Bradley and his brother, John Bradley
(who remained behind in London, and died there without
issue, in March, 1697), were sons of one Francis Bradley, Jr.,
of Coventry, England (who was born in 1595), who had an
uncle in Coventry named William Bradley, "conjectured to
have been the father of William Bradley, who came to this
country and settled at New Haven." Justice Bradley was of
the opinion that the arms of the Bradley family, of Coventry,
were those of his ancestors, and of the ancestors of the New
Haven and Guilford Bradleys.
"Family Notes Respecting the Bradley Family of Fair-
field," written by Joseph P. Bradley, edited and published by
his son, Charles Bradley of Newark, N. J., in 1894, set out
fully the reasons for Justice Bradley's opinion. On page 12
he says: "In one of the Bradley families at Greenfield (a
branch of Francis Bradley's descendants) is a coat of arms,
in which the Bradley and Wakeman escutcheons are combined.
The Bradley is a chevron sable on a field argent (i. e., a black
chevron on a white field or ground) ; with the bust of a helmed
knight for a crest. The field is unoccupied — except as crossed
by the chevron."
In Note A, page 61, of said Family Notes, reference is
again made to the Bradley arms, and to a letter, written by
me to Justice Bradley, July 8th, 1887, mentioning what Hon.
William C. Bradley of Westminster, Vt, stated in a letter to
43
me (dated November 24th, 1859), as follows: "When I stud-
ied law at the close of the last century with Judge Simeon
Strong of Amherst, Mass., I was recommended to board with
Dr. Coleman, a near neighbor, who received me very kindly.
On his table at dinner was a large silver can, having a coat of
arms engraved upon it, and when I inquired whence it came,
he told me it was given to his first wife, Sally Beecher, daugh-
ter of Eliphalet Beecher and Sarah Bradley, old Stephen Brad-
ley's youngest daughter, and my great aunt." Afterwards,
when in New York, as William C. Bradley adds, I caused a
carnation seal to be cut, showing the coat of arms, "the same
as on the old silver can." William C. Bradley sealed his let-
ter with the seal, giving an impression of the coat of arms on
the red sealing wax. The coat of arms is : "Field Gules (or
red) with chevron argent, betwen three boars' heads, couped,
or. Crest, a boar's head, couped, or. Motto, 'Liber ac Sapiens
Esto.' "
The Hon. William C. Bradley was a very careful man.
He evidently regarded the coat of arms, shown on the can, as
belonging to his family. Justice Bradley, in his "Family
Notes" (page 61), states that George H. M. Bradley, of Bur-
lington, Vt., informed him that the silver can, or tankard, re-
ferred to by Hon. William C. Bradley, was still in existence, in
the possession of Mr. Philip Livingston.
We have set forth the various statements respecting the
coat of arms of the Bradley family of Fairfield, New Haven
and Guilford that all that is known upon the subject may be
before the reader.
Hon. Charles W. Bradley, of New Haven, was also a very
careful man. The tradition of the various branches of the
Guilford family confirm his view of the matter. Further,
Mr. John C. Bradley, of Hoosick Falls, New York, who has
given some time to the study of the history of the Bradley
family, confirms the view taken by Hon. Charles W. Bradley.
44
Leaving the history of the Fairfield, New Haven and Guil-
ford families, we draw attention now to the progenitor of an-
other branch of the family. Isaac Bradley was the father of
the East Haven (Conn.) branch of the Bradley family. His
name appears first on the records of Branford, Conn. (Vol. 1,
present page 319), as one of the signers of an agreement, dated
January 20th, 1667, for the settlement of a minister. It does
not appear from the records when he came to New England.
From his age at the time of his death, he was probably born
in 1650, and must have been seventeen years old at the date
of the said agreement. An affidavit made by him December
1st, 1685, respecting a statement by one Edmund Tooley before
his death, was recorded in the New Haven Land Records in
Volume 1, page 242, March 22nd, 1685-6, which begins in this
way : "The testimony of Isaac Bradley aged 35 years or there-
abouts saith," etc.
It is a tradition, in a branch of his family, that he came
from London to Boston, and thence to Connecticut. The fact
that he came to the neighborhood in which William Bradley
resided, also the similarity of names prevailing in the lines of
their families, implies they were related. When the writer was
in Haverhill, Mass., some years ago, he called upon one of the
descendants of Daniel Bradley (the first of the name in Haver-
hill) and was recognized at once as a Bradley from the fea-
tures of the face. There is a great similarity of names in the
lines of the Haverhill and East Haven families.
Captain Charles H. Townshend, of New Haven, Conn.,
informed the writer that he examined on the 21st of April,
1886, the records of the church (of which Rev. A. F. Curtis,
A.M., was the rector) at White Notley, Essex County, Eng-
land, and found a record of the marriage, on the 24th of June,
1624, of Isaac Bradlee and Elizabeth Danish (or Darrish). I
have not the means of determining whether this Isaac Bradlee
was related to the father of the Bradleys of East Haven,
Conn.
At a town meeting held in Branford October 29th, 1674,
"the town did give and grant unto Isaac Bradley, sojourner
45
at New Haven, a parcel of upland, containing two acres, where
he shall find it most convenient for him, provided it be not
prejudicial to any highway ; or to any particular man ; pro-
vided also he build upon it within two years, or else to return
it to the town again."
At another town meeting, held December 4th, 1674, "the
town did give and grant unto Isaac Bradiey, sojourner at New
Haven, one parcel of upland, lying upon Cannow Brook plain,
being three acres, more or less," giving the bounds.
The town did give two extensions of time for the erection
of a house on said land, the last extension being for three
months — from February 13th, 1679. Isaac Bradley erected
the house, and finally sold and conveyed it, and the land men-
tioned, to Christopher Tod by deed dated March 10th, 1682-3
(Vol. 2 of Branford Land Records, page 11). He sold out
all his other interests in Branford and removed to East Haven
in 1683.
At a meeting of the East Haven Village proprietors, held
October 14th, 1683, John Potter propounded to the "Village
to give unto Isaac Bradley a piece of land, lying between Stony
River and Joseph Russell's home lot, and a lot of land up the
river, as near as may be. The Village thereupon do grant to
sd Bradley the sd land, provided he build a tenantable house
upon it, otherwise to return it to the Village again. Mathew
Moulthrop and John Potter chosen by the Village to set out
sd pieces and to provide the" commodity "to the highway."
John Potter and Mathew Moulthrop subsequently re-
ported as to the land, "that they do not judge it will be any
damage to the Village to grant it to" Isaac Bradley. The Vil-
lage thereupon confirmed their previous action by appointing
Mathew Moulthrop and John Potter to lay out to Isaac Brad-
ley "what may be conveniently spared by Joseph Russell's lot,
and about four acres up the river, upon the condition formerly
mentioned"
46
"January 22nd, 1683, Isaack Bradley makes record of his
land formerly granted to him by ye Village and laid out to
him by Mathew Moulthrop and John Potter by their order,
as followeth. First, Isaack Bradley's home lot is bounded on
ye west by Joseph Russel's home lot, on the south by the High-
way, and on the east and north by Stony River, and is by their
estimation one acre and half be it more or less." "2dly, The
other lot by ye Village given to Isaack Bradley lying on the
said river and laid out by the same men, by the Village their
order, lyes four acres, be it more or less, is bounded by a wal-
nut stake on ye west, with a walnut tree on ye 3 corners, more-
over the line on ye west side is 20 rods in length, the line on
south side 20 rods, the line on the east side 20 rods, the line
on the north side 32 rods long."
The record of the grant of the Joseph Russell home lot,
as it appears in the record of the Village Proprietors proceed-
ings, is not clear, but a transcript, of what is called an orig-
inal, was recorded in the New Haven Land Records in Vol-
ume 1, page 226, March 26th, 1687, and reads as follows : "The
Village did give and grant to Joseph Russell in 1681 half an
acre of land lying, being & situate upon Stony River, bounded
with the river on ye north, & with a highway on ye west, &
with ye comon on ye south, and with Isaac Bradley's lot on
ye east. Laid out by John Austin & Mathew Moulthrop."
As Isaac Bradley's home lot was not granted till 1683, it
is evident Isaac Bradley's name was inserted in the above
transcript in 1687.
Joseph Russell conveyed the lot last above described to
John Potter, by deed dated January 18th, 1687, recorded in
the New Haven Land Records in Volume 1, page 373, describ-
ing it somewhat differently, though substantially in the same
way. John Potter thereupon granted the same lot to Isaac
Bradley by deed dated January 18th, 1687, recorded in the
New Haven Land Records in Volume 1, page 373, adding to
the description, above given, these words, "the sd half acre of
47
land with a house thereon together with ye buildings, privi-
leges and boundaries as above expressed."
The highway referred to as being on the west side of the
Joseph Russell home lot must have been closed. The Isaac
Bradley home 'ot (as increased by the addition of the half
acre of land contained in the Russell lot) contained two acres
of land. It contains this by estimation now, and is to be de-
scribed now as bounded on the south by the highway, leading
from East Haven centre to Branford, on the north and east
by Stony River, and on the west by land now owned by James
D. Ashbe, but in 1872 owned by John Russell. The Isaac
Bradley home lot is now owned by the estate of Jared Bradley,
a descendant of Isaac Bradley. The house erected by Isaac
Bradley, on said lot, is still standing.
48
J. Isaac Bradley, whose name appears on the records
of the town of Branford, Conn., as early as January
20th, 1667, and who removed to East Haven, Conn.,
in 1683, where he died January 12th, 1712-13, ae 62
years, married Elizabeth , who died January
3rd, 1712-13, as 56 years. From an affidavit made
by him December 1st, 1685, in which he is spoken
of as "aged 35 years or thereabouts" (recorded in
the New Haven Land Records in Vol. 1, p. 242),
it appears that he was born in 1650. They had

was living in May, 1778, but it is not stated where. See deed,
recorded in the said Records in Book 12, p. 259. He is said
to have removed to Northbury, Conn., which was part of the

Administration on the estate of Capt. Zebulon Bradley,
late of New Haven, deceased, granted by the New Haven Pro-
bate Court in March, 1760, to Elizabeth Bradley, widow (Vol.
9 of Records, p. 308.) Inventory of his estate exhibited at a
Court in April, 1760. Estate valued at £ 1835.7.8^ (Vol. 9 of
Records, p. 322, etc.). It included "Dwelling house and shop
by it," also "house lot one acre," "house and one-quarter acre
near the wharf of" east side of the harbour, also a "right in
said wharf," and "a sloop of 43 tons" (sloop valued at £180).
Division of said estate recorded in May, 1761 (Vol. 9 of Rec-
ords, p. 523). The part set to Abraham Bradley (eldest son)
embraced the "house and one quarter acre of land, near the
wharf" aforesaid, also "a right in the said wharf."
It seems that the proprietors of the common and undi-
vided lands in East Haven, at a meeting held January 22nd,
1739-40, granted to John Woodward, Thomas Alcock, Joseph
Tuttle, Samuel Forbes and Noah Tuttle "a piece of flatts eight
rods wide," beginning at the end of a stone fence, "then" of
said John Woodward on the east shore of New Haven har-
bour, to extend westward to the channel. The interest of the
58
owners of the flatts were changed by transfers until July, 1752,
when those who were the owners made an agreement with
Zebulon Bradley, Thomas Robinson, Amos Morris and Joseph
Bishop, whereby certain interests in the flatts were conveyed
to the four persons last named, and provision was made for
the erection of a wharf on the flatts. It was declared that the
interests of the then owners were as follows : Joseph Tuttle,
£100; Rosewell Woodward, £100; Samuel Forbes, £100; John
Woodward, £50; Jeremiah Osborn, £50; Timothy Tuttle, £50;
Zebulon Bradley, £100; Thomas Robinson, £50; Amos Morris,
£50, and Joseph Bishop, £50, it being agreed that these persons
should hold title in these proportions always, reckoning £50 for
one right and £100 for two rights, no right to be less than £50.
See deed dated July 11th, 1752, recorded in New Haven Land
Records, in Vol. 16, p. 437, November 24th, 1752.
Joseph Tuttle conveyed to Zebulon Bradley all the right,
title and interest which Tuttle had in the wharf, which was
described as "ten rods in length and twenty feet in width, situ-
ate on the east side of New Haven harbour, near the house
where Jehial Osborn" dwelt November 16th, 1753, embracing
in the conveyance Mr. Tuttle's right and title in the flatts, re-
serving the privileges in the wharf ; reserved, in the original
grant, "to the inhabitants of the Society of East Haven." See
deed dated November 16th, 1753, recorded in the New Haven
Land Records in Vol. 18, p. 300, November 17th, 1753.
The East Haven Village Records show the grant made at
a Proprietors' meeting held January 22nd, 1739-40, and that
all persons of the Society shall always have liberty to fasten
their boats, scows and cannoes to the wharf, without any cost.
The wharf was the first one just south of Tomlinson's
Bridge on the East Haven shore.
Capt. Zebulon Bradley acquired title by deed from his
father (Samuel Bradley), dated October 10th, 1750, to a par-
cel of land, "being one acre, bounded on the west and south by
highways, on the north and east by land of Daniel Moltrop,"
"with the dwelling house, shop and all the appurtenances."
Deed recorded in the New Haven Land Records in Vol. 16, p.
77, December 27th, 1751. This parcel of land is that now di-
vided into three smaller lots, which together are to be described
as bounded on the west by a highway or the Green (formerly
the Market Place), on the south by a highway, on the north
and east by land at one time of Daniel Moltrop, afterwards of
59
Amos Thompson. On the division of the estate of Capt. Zeb-
ulon Bradley in May, 1761, one-half part of the house (the
north end) with half of the cellar, and shop (adjoining) and
half of the home lot were set to Elizabeth Bradley (the widow),
while the other half of the house (the south end), with half
of the cellar, and shop, and the south end of the home lot, were
set to Jared Bradley (one of the sons).
Jared Bradley conveyed his half part of the house and
lot to Jonathan Goodsill by deed dated November 15th, 1793,
recorded in the East Haven Land Records in Book 2, p. 85,
April 20th, 1795. In the lifetime of the widow of Capt. Zeb-
ulon Bradley, his children, to wit, Abraham Bradley, Josiah
Bradley, Elijah Bradley, Andrew Davidson and Elizabeth
Davidson, his wife, and Jared Bradley conveyed to Jonathan
Goodsill the interest in the home lot which had been set to
Elizabeth Bradley, the mother of the grantors, by deed dated
July 3rd, 1797, recorded in the East Haven Land Records in
Book 2, p. 224, November 17th, 1797.
Jonathan Goodsell conveyed to Abraham Chidsey, the
elder, the same home lot of Capt. Z. Bradley, containing one
acre, by deed dated September 17th, 1804, recorded in the East
Haven Land Records in Book 3, p. 286, September 17th, 1804.
Jacob Chidsey and Hannah Chidsey, Administrators on the
estate of Abraham Chidsey, late deceased, by order of the Pro-
bate Court for New Haven, conveyed to Elijah G. Plumb, of
Litchfield, Conn., the same home lot, "with an old dwelling
house thereon standing," by deed dated April 23rd, 1812, re-
corded in the East Haven Land Records in Book 5, p. 6, April
23rd, 1812.
We are informed by Mr. Leverett S. Bagley, of East Ha-
ven, that Rev. Mr. Plumb kept a school in the old dwelling
house.
Mr. Plumb, then of East Haven, conveyed the same home
lot and house to John Heminway by deed dated December 31st,
1818, recorded in the East Haven Land Records in Book 6, p.
22, December 31st, 1818. John Heminway conveyed the same
lot and house to Horace Chidsey by deed dated January 26th,
1819, recorded in the East Haven Land Records in Book 5,
p. 404, January 28th, 1819. Horace Chidsey died April 26th,
1854, aged 58. His estate passed by will to his widow, Sarah
A. Chidsey.
60
Sarah A. Chidsey conveyed to William H. Chidsey a lot of
land, "with the dwelling house and other buildings thereon
standing, containing one half acre and bounded" easterly by
land of Orrin Thompson and O. I'>. Thompson, "southerly by
highway, westerly by highway and northerly by 'grantor's' own
land, by deed dated May 31st, 1877, recorded in East Haven
Land Records in Book 23, p. 611, January 29th, 1886. The
remaining half acre of the original lot was afterwards divided
into two smaller lots of one-quarter of an acre each. The lot
adjoining Wm. H. Chidsey's lot, on the north, was conveyed
to Horace L. Chidsey by deed dated December 28th, 1889, re-
corded in the East Haven Land Records in Book 25, p. 520,
February 27th, 1890; while the most northerly quarter acre lot
was conveyed to Wm. S. Chidsey by deed dated December 28th,
1889, recorded in the East Haven Land Records in Book 25,
p. 519, February 19th, 1890.
The shop used by Capt. Zebulon Bradley was removed
from his home lot many years ago. It is interesting to notice
the items of the inventory of his estate. The inventory was
presented to the New Haven Probate Court in April, 1760.

Captain Zebulon Bradley was captain of a sloop, sailing
between East Haven and New York, and died in New York
City January 13th, 1760. He carried on a very good business
for those days.
His sons, Asa, Abijah, Zebulon and Elijah were active in
the Revolution against the enemies of the country. Asa, Abi-
jah and Elijah were taken prisoners and placed on board the
prison ship near New York City ; Asa and Abijah dying on
this ship October 21st, .1779. Elijah finally escaped and re-
turned to East Haven. Zebulon (the son) was killed on board
a privateer in an engagement with the enemy in October, 1779.
For these facts respecting the said four sons, see Mss. History
of East Haven, Conn., by Rev. Wm. Haven, in the possession
62
of the New Haven Historical Society ; also "The East Haven
Register," by Stephen Dodd, pp. 75, 176.
Elijah Bradley's name appears in the list of Revolution-
ary pensioners for 1840. (See Record of Connecticut in the
Revolution, p. 660.)
We will now note the line of descent of Elizabeth, the
wife of Capt. Zebulon Bradley, from David Yale and Anne,
his wife. Their children were David, Thomas and Ann. On
the death of the elder David Yale, his widow, Anne Yale, mar-
ried Mr. Theophilus Eaton, of London. When Mr. Eaton
emigrated to New England, his step-sons, David and Thomas
Yale, came with him. They settled in New Haven. David
Yale. removed to Boston after March, 1641. David Yale and
Ursula, his wife, had four children born to them in Boston,
namely, David, Elihu, Theophilus and Thomas. David Yale,
with his wife and four children, soon returned to England,
leaving behind, in New Haven, Thomas Yale, the brother of
David Yale 2nd. Prof. F. B. Dexter has written an interest-
ing paper about Elihu Yale, the founder of Yale College. (See
New Haven Historical Society Papers, Vol. 3, p. 227.)
Thomas Yale, the brother of Elihu Yale, mentions in his
will (dated September 29th, 1697) his mother, Mrs. Ursula
Yale, his brother, Elihu Yale, and his "uncle Thomas Yale in
New England." (See New England Historical and Genealog-
ical Register, Vol. 38, p. 315.)
Thomas Yale, the uncle of Elihu Yale, purchased land in
North Haven and settled there. He married, in 1645, Mary,
daughter of Capt. Nathaniel Turner, of New Haven. In Jan-
uary, 1646, Captain Turner sailed in a ship, chartered by a
company formed to establish direct trade with London. The
ship was never heard of. Captain Turner was prominent in
the affairs of New Haven Colony. (See Atwater's History of
the Colony, pp. 207-209, 537-541.)
Hannah Yale, one of the children of Thomas Yale and
Mary Turner, his wife, was born July 6th, 1662, and mar-
ried, in 1689, Enos Talmage. Their daughter, Sarah Talmage
(b. October 2nd, 1684) married, November 11th, 1713, Abra-
ham Heminway (son of Samuel Heminway, of East Haven,
and Sarah (dau. of John) Cooper, his wife). Abraham Hem-
inway (b. December 3rd, 1677) and Sarah Talmage, his wife,
had, besides other children, Elizabeth (b. October 3rd, 1716),
who married, July 10th, 1740, Capt. Zebulon Bradley of East
Haven, Conn.
63
John Heminway, born May 29th, 1675 (a son of Samuel
Heminway and Sarah (John) Cooper, his wife), married, in
1703, Mary, dau. of John Morris, of East Haven. John Mor-

Capt. Abraham Bradley was a merchant in New Haven,
having come from East Haven when young. He was in the
Long Wharf previous to 1806 and owned two vessels which
ran regularly to Charleston, S. C, and to New York City. In
his early days he made stated trips to New York and owned a
shop at the corner of Chapel and State Streets. Captain
Bradley and his wife lived there at the time of the British in-
vasion, and what happened to them has been related in the
N. H. "Journal and Courier" of March 11th, 1879.
In Rev. Mr. Haven's History of East Haven it is said of
Captain Bradley : "He was a successful merchant, held in gen-
eral esteem for his probity and integrity, and at the time of his
death was regarded as one of the eminent and solid men of the
city.»_(J. M. A., 1915.)

was known in East Haven traditions as the Lef ten-
ant." For many years he owned the "Saltonstall
Farm," and resided in the Saltonstall mansion on
the farm, near the East Haven line, in the town of
Branford. Mr. Haven speaks of him as "a public
spirited man and highly esteemed. All his interests
were identified with those of East Haven."

The remains of Jared Bradley (the father) and of his
wife were interred in the East Haven Cemetery.
The Saltonstall Farm (of which Jared Bradley died
seized) was owned at one time by Wm. Rosewell, of Branford,
who died in 1694 ; the farm passing to his only child, Elizabeth
Rosewell, who married Rev. Gurdon Saltonstall, of New Lon-
don, Conn., who, on the death of Governor Winthrop, was ap-
pointed Governor of Connecticut, taking the oath of office on
the 1st of January, 1708; being afterwards annually elected
Governor until his death. Governor Saltonstall "had three
wives: first, Jerusha, dau. of James Richards, of Hartford,
who d. in Boston July 25th, 1697; second, Elizabeth Rosewell,
who d. in New London September 12th, 1710; third, Mary,
dau. of Wm. Whittingham (and widow of Wm. Clarke, of
Boston), who survived him and d. in Boston January 23rd,
1730."
98
By his second wife, Elizabeth, he had issue: Rosewell, b.
January 19th, 1701-02, Harvard 1720, who d. in October, 1738;
Katharine, b. June 19th, 1704; Nathaniel, b. July 1st, 1707;
Gurdon, b. December 22nd, 1708, Yale 1725 ; Richard, b. Sep-
tember 1st, 1710; d. September 12th, 1710.
Rosewell Saltonstall married Mary, dau. of John Haynes,
of Hartford (widow of Elisha Lord). "He fixed his resi-
dence in Branford, Conn., the home of his maternal ancestors.
He became a member of the Branford Church in October, 1735,
and was highly esteemed, being a man of irreproachable Chris-
tian character." He went, in September, 1738, to New Lon-
don, to visit his brother, Gurdon (who was residing in his
father's house), and died there October 1st, 1738. His re-
mains were interred in the family vault, in the ancient burial
ground at New London. He had one son, Rosewell Salton-
stall (who resided on the Saltonstall farm in Branford), and
four daughters, Mary, Sarah, Elizabeth and Katherine. Mary,
the eldest, married Colonel Whiting, of New Haven, Conn. ;
Sarah married Jonathan Fitch, of New Haven; Elizabeth died
unmarried; Katherine married Jonathan Welles, of Glaston-
bury. Mary, the widow of Capt. Rosewell Saltonstall, mar-
ried Rev. Thomas Clap, of Windham, Conn., afterwards Presi-
dent of Yale College. (See as to the Saltonstalls, New Eng.
Hist, and Gen. Reg., Vol. 7, p. 248; Vol. 11, p. 261 ; Vol. 13, p.
305 ; Vol. 25, p. 79. History of New London, Conn., by F. M.
Caulkins, pp. 196, 376, 382, 384.)
Rosewell Saltonstall, Jr., was the last of the name to reside
on the Saltonstall farm. He died in Branford. His remains
were interred in the Branford Cemetery. On the stone over
his grave is this inscription : "Here lieth the body of Rosewell
Saltonstall, Esq., son of Rosewell Saltonstall, Esq., and grand-
son of Gov. Saltonstall. He received a liberal education at
Yale College, where he graduated A. D., 1751. He was well
acquainted with History. He was charitable and benevolent
to the indigent and distressed. Solitude being his choice, he
secluded himself from society, and spent his life in retirement
upon the Family Estate in Branford, where he died January
24th, 1788, aged 56."
Rosewell or Roswell Saltonstall, Jr., conveyed to John
Heminway twenty acres of the farm, which were conveyed by
John Heminway to Jared Bradley by deed dated May 24th,
1776, recorded in the Branford Land Records in Book 10, page
99
153, June 4th, 1778. Roswell Saltonstall conveyed to Jared
Bradley sixty acres, at the northeasterly part of the farm, ex-
tending to the Furnace pond (so called), by deed dated Octo-
ber 11th, 1786, recorded in Branford Land Records in Book
10, page 523, October 11th, 1786. Fifty acres of the farm
were conveyed by the Conservator of the person and estate
of Roswell Saltonstall to Jared Bradley by deed dated May 1st,
1788, recorded in Branford Land Records in Book 11, page
367, May 1st, 1788.
After the death of Roswell Saltonstall the rest of the
farm (say, 210 acres) was sold by the administrator of the
estate, under the order of the Probate Court of Guilford, and
the same finally conveyed by Elias Shipman to Jared Bradley
by deed dated September 7th, 1789, recorded in Branford Land
Records in Book 11, page 403, November 1st, 1789. This
sale included the ancient Saltonstall residence and the barn on
the farm.
Jared Bradley resided in the Saltonstall mansion, after
his purchase of it, until his death. His will bears date April
27th, 1832, and was recorded in Guilford Probate Records in
Book 24, page 489, July 8th, 1833. The report of the distri-
bution of his estate was recorded in said records in Book 20,
page 131, June 2nd, 1834. It shows how the farm was divided
after his death, and the disposition made of a pew in the "Pres-
byterian Meeting House in East Haven," where the testator
attended services on the Sabbath.
The Saltonstall residence was visited by the writer in the
summer of 1896. It had lost its ancient magnificence. Its
large hall and rooms, and curious cupboard, are interesting re-
minders of the past. The antique furniture and tapestries,
which adorned the hall and rooms at the death of Jared Brad-
ley, were removed many years ago.

The Saltonstall Mansion was burnt down in 1909. There
is a photograph of the Mansion to be seen at the N. H. Colony
Historical Society rooms. — (J. M. A., 1915.)
