Message Board Post:
ThomasKer2, I thank you for your reply, but as you suggested I am aware of most of it. I
am now into the third decade of searching for John Bradford's (1798-1877) parents, and
as I noted in my original post I am still trying to find his parents after all of these
years.
As I noted, I have serious reason to believe this Mary Anne Bradford is a major
"mother figure" in his life, if not actually his biological mother, and access
to Franklin County wills, property, and other records might reveal some clues if anyone
can view them to see what they will reveal about them. John and Mary Anne both spent a
significant part of their lives in the county, and Mary Anne died there in 1839 so perhaps
a will might be there or something of the like.
I've not been able to find anything online that would give any clues, but I continue
to look. Perhaps something in print, but I am open to any suggestions. If anyone out
there lives close enough to the Franklin County records and is available to go and look
for me, or give me an online search tool I can use from 850 or so miles away, I would be
eternally grateful. Thank you again for your response.
David
