Rector of Ackworth, Yorkshire; a great Royalist, and his wife Frances, daughter
of John, Lord Saville, of Pontefract." Genealogist (new series), XVI, 117. Land
Thomas Bradley (1632) was listed as having 255
acres of land in New Kent County on the 1704 Quit Rent Rolls. In addition, there
are copies of several land patents to this Thomas Bradley from 1690 to 1706 on
record with The Virginia State Library. The first direct verifiable evidence of
Thomas Bradley that can be found in New Kent County, Virginia comes in the form
of land patent deeds on record with the Library of Virginia in Richmond. The
first of these is a patent for 655 acres of land in New Kent County, and dated
October 26th 1699. The description of this property indicates that it sat on
both sides of the great southwest branch of the Pamunkey River about 3 miles
north of Manheim . This would indicate that the land was most likely in an area
that became King and Queen County, and later King William County Virginia." See

Overview
Edward Bradley was born about 1680, probably in
New Kent County, Virginia Colony, and he was the son of Thomas Bradley of the

and Anne Bradshaw, however, this is proven to be incorrect by Y-DNA testing.
Edwards' descendants, do not match Robert Bradley's male line descendants Y-DNA. Court Record

Life Sketch
Anola Beatrice "Nola" Oliver was the grandmother
of Thomas Joseph Elias and my sisters, and I never met her. She was known to
many as Nola. Anola had a relationship with John Benjamin
Littlefair, son of Joseph William Littlefair and Fannie Mae
Taylor, about 1944. Marriage status: unmarried. John was born on 1 Feb 1922
in Marseilles, La Salle, Illinois, United States, died on 6 Feb 1983 in Houston,
Harris, Texas, United States, at age 61, and was buried in 1983 in Houston
National Cemetery, Houston, Harris, Texas, United States. The cause of his death
was COPD/Heart desease. Another name for John was Ben Littlefair. They had one
daughter: Sandra Kay.
Marriage Notes: It is not clear that they were
married, if they were, they got divorced. No evidence of this marriage has been
located; however, Ben's daughter (Sandy) was later told by relatives that Ben's
mother (Fanny Taylor) would not allow them to live in her house unless they were
married. It is suspected that they created a fake marriage license to show her.

In the first place he was Chaplin to the old Duke of Buckingham
and went with him to the Isle of Rhea and the siege of Rochelle (France).
After his return in 1628 he was made Chaplain to Charles the 1st and between
1630 and 1643 the King made him a gift of the living of Castleford and Ackworth
and a Prebendary of York. (revenue from the cathedral).
On the 5th march
1631 he married Frances the youngest daughter of the right Hon. John Lord
Savile, Baron of Pontefract, by whom he had several children.
It is
generally supposed that Dr Bradley attended Charles 1st to the scaffold 1649 and
for his leaning towards the Crown he was sequestered of his living at Ackworth
and Castelford.
The Ackworth living was taken over by Thomas Birkbeck, a
stiff rump Presbyterian, and Castleford was usurped by Mr. H. Moorhouse an army
chaplain.
During the period of Commonwealth Dr Bradley suffered
intensively, his house was plundered of all that he had, his wife and children
turned out of doors to seek lodgings, the library which he had entrusted to one
John Lake of Castleford was betrayed into the hands of his enemies.
In
the Hearth Tax rolls for the year 1665 (end of Commonwealth 1660) we see that Dr
Bradley is listed as having five hearths, so he must have been living back in
the rectory.
When Dr Bradley became rector again in 1663 he set up a New
Font which is just through the South Doorway.
From the Parish Register we
see that the first baptism took place on the 24th November 1663, the child was
his Grand Child Charles, son of Mr. & Mrs. Danyell Godfrey.
In the year
1666 he built two Alms houses off the Village Green for two poor widows.
Dr Bradley died on October 10th 1673 succeeded the year before by Jerimiah
Bolton. His monumental slab can be seen on the East wall of the Chancel. It
states:-Here resteth the Body of Doctor Thomas Bradly. Rector of this Parish.

His Almshouses built her, shows in part his Goodness, to the poor, his

And learned work in point, will tell you more, by which he being

The earliest record for Edward Bradley is a birth record for two of his sons,
Isaac born in 1705, and John, born in 1707[1]. He next appears in land
processioning records for St. Paul's Parish, New Kent County, Virginia Colony in
1711.[2]1716, [3],and 1719.[4]. Based upon the birth year of his son Isaac, he
is estimated to have married sometime between 1703 and 1704, to Sarah Terry.
Edward and Sarah are also known to have had at least two other sons, Terry in
1725 and Edward II in 1726. However, based on the wide range in age between John
in 1707, and Edward II in 1726, there were probably other sons and daughters,
for which we have no documentation available. Terry is proven through
triangulation of Y-DNA[5] , while Edward 1726 is well documented in Fayette and
Bourbon Counties in Kentucky. [6]
Edward passed away sometime in 1732,
and probably before August 3, 1732[7]. The executors of his estate were Sarah
Coockson, and James Terry, who was probably Sarah's father. The estate was
settled in 1734.[8] Sarah remarried to Lancelot Cookson soon after Edward's
death, as she is listed as Sarah Coockson in court documents in which she has
filed suit on behalf of Edwards estate.

Following the close of the Revolutionary War, Leonard Keeling Bradley moved
westward to Kentucky. He married, on June 20, 1785, Mary "Polly" Boone, a niece
to legendary Daniel Boone.@ Boone's Station, Fayette County, Kentucky.
She was the daughter of Samuel Boone and Sarah Day.
An unpublished
manuscript written by Tim Capps in 1985, recounts the history of the Boone's
Creek Baptist Church located near here using the original church records. One of
the eighteen founding members of this church was Samuel Boone who was Leonard's
father-in-law as well as an older brother of Daniel Morgan Boone, the legendary
frontiersman. These records show that Leonard probably wasn't the most pious
member of his congregation. He was charged but cleared of a fist fight in 1799,
then he was suspended from the church in 1801 for excessive drinking. According
to the pension record, his family relocated in 1825 to Randolph County,
Missouri, where his son, Thomas, was already living. He died here 2 Dec 1834 and
was buried in Bruce Cemetery near Clark, Randolph County, Missouri. His wife
died 1 Nov 1851, and, according to local history, she was buried with her
husband.
After Leonard Keeling Bradley's marriage to Polly, they lived
in Fayette Co., KY where he farmed and did some survey work. In 1796, he was
appointed Justice of the Peace for Fayette Co., KY by Kentucky Governor Garrard.
Leonard and Polly Boone had 12 children of whom 11 lived to adulthood. They
included Terry, Elizabeth, Samuel Boone, Thomas, Keeling, Edward R., Levi Day,
Squire Boone, Milton, Newton, Louise Lura, and Calvin. Pauline Brown, an
integral part to Sunday's event, is a descendant of Squire Boone Bradley and his
wife Lucetta Estes Sharp.
Around 1825, Leonard Keeling Bradley moved his
family to what is today Randolph County, Mo. Some of his children moved with him
in 1825 while others followed a few years later. It is in Randolph County where
he applied for his Revolutionary War Pension, which gives us documentation of
his patriotic service during the Revolutionary War. He died on December 2, 1834
and was buried here at the Bruce Cemetery.

Lloyd and Georgia
Anna Potter were married on 12 Jan 1917 in Keytesville Township, Missouri. They
had 7 children. The marriage ended in divorce before 1940.
They were
heavy drinkers and fought often. They were not able to provide for their
children and they children were sent to orphanages.
Lloyd died on 25 Nov
1961 in Los Angeles, California (age 72) and is buried in Marceline, Missouri.
She was born on 12 Dec 1924 in Missouri to Lloyd Oliver and
Georgia Anna Potter. She was raised mostly by her adopted mother, Fannie Belle
Williams.
Her parents argued and fought a lot and were unable to take
care of their children. The children were all sent to orphanages.
Nola
was fostered then adopted at age 6 or 7 by Fannie Belle Williams about 1931. On
the 1940 US census, she is listed as being a niece of Fannie, but that may not
be the case. Fannie was a college professor and was never married and did not
have children.
Nola left Ben and Sandy when Sandy was 5 years old. Nola
wrote letters and sent boxes of clothes for Sandy's son for a few months then it
stopped. Sandy went to visit her in Indiana a couple of times before Nola passed
away.
In 1930, she lived in Fort Dodge, Iowa with her parents, after that
she lived in La Salle Township, Illinois for a brief period, then in Valparaiso,
Indiana for the rest of her life.
Nola died 3 Sep 2012 in Valparaiso,
Indiana at age 87. She spent the last several years of her life in an assisted
living facility and had dementia. Her body was cremated.
