Hello cousin,
I
found your information on the Nathan Bradley family of Haldimand, Ontario. I am descended from Hannah
Bradley and Moses Hinman, Jr. I had found a book
on the Massey family (Masseys Founding Family by Gillen and Ryerson) which
states on page 11 that Nathan Bradley left Illinois in 1777 with his wife
Elizabeth and infant son William and eventually settled in Haldimand
Township. They had fled from their home when they saw Indians approaching,
Nathan carrying the baby and supporting his wife with his arm as they forded
a river. On top of a hilltop they looked back to see their house in flames
I
attached a picture of William Bradleys grave

Dear Leigh,
I have been searching my family roots and I ran across your website.
Our families intersect at the Bradley's in Haldimand, Ontario.
My grandmother was Mary Jane Hinman, the daughter of Edgar Byron
Hinman. He was the son of Platt Hinman who was married to Almira
Bradley (d. of Abraham Bradley, gr. d. of William Harnden Bradley).
Platt Hinman was the son of Truman Hinman and grandson of Moses
Hinman. Moses Hinman was one of the original settlers of Haldimand
Township. His son, Moses Hinman Jr. married a Bradley and moved to
Wisconsin.
You appear to have done some extensive and careful research on the
Bradley's. I would love to pick your brain in hopes of filling in
some of the gaps in my research. I do have some material that my
mother had collected but never really organized. I have plans (hopes)
of organizing it for my family (cousins, et al). Recently, my sister
in Boston, who is caretaker of the memorabilia, sent me a photograph
of Abraham and Ruth (Tucker) Bradley that she scanned. If you have an
interest in this photo, I could send it on to you.
I have been attempting to track and document the Bradley line. I have
not had much luck with Nathan and Harriet (Harden) Bradley to date. I
have found a record of his birth in Addington, MA but have struck out
so far finding any records of their marriage or births of their
children. I have been intrigued by the story of their escape from the
raid by the British and Indians. Independently, I have wondered if it
was associated with the Cherry Valley Massacre. I note that you had a
note from a Bradley descendant that indicated that Nathan's family
might have lived in that area. I have also noted in the book "The
Masseys, founding family" by Mollie Gillen, that she states on p. 11
the family moved from Illinois in 1777 after being burned out by
Indians. This puzzled me, since Illinois was still wilderness in
1777. My guess is that Mollie Gillen was told originally that the
family moved from Cherry Valley and she construed it as Cherry
Valley, Illinois. Do you have any thoughts on this matter?
Another point of interest is a possible connection to a Mayflower
ancestor through the Bradley family. Nathan's mother was Susannah
Pierce (sometimes spelled Peirce or Pearce). I believe that her
parents were Anthony Pearce and Keturah Newland. Keturah Newland was
a daughter of Jeremiah Newland and Susanna Harris. Susanna Harris was
a daughter of Isaac Harris and Mercy Latham. Mercy Latham was a
daughter of Robert Latham and Susanna Winslow. Susanna Winslow was a
daughter of John Winslow and Mary Chilton. Mary Chilton was the
daughter of James Chilton, a signer of the Mayflower Compact. Mary
and James were passengers on the Mayflower. He died before setting
foot on land. The Chilton family tradition maintains that she was the
first woman to step onto land (Plymouth Rock) in the New World. I am
working at documenting this.
I notice that we are located in close proximity, so perhaps we can
get together to share information. Obviously, this will have to be in
the summer since you escape to Arizona during the brisk Wisconsin
winter.
Thank you for your attention.
Paul Schatz
