What happened to Mary Kent Bradbury, daughter of George and Mary Kent ?

Question

My gg-grandmother was Mary Kent Bradbury who married Theodore Hart (of Montreal) in Boston in 1845.  Mary's was born February 8, 1812 to Charles Bradbury and Eleonora Cumming.

The original Mary Kent Bradbury was born in 1801 to Charles's brother George and his wife Mary Kent.

Apparently, they also both had daughters called Caroline Keith Bradbury.  Both of these grew up, got married and had families of their own.

These two brothers were sons of Theophilus Bradbury (1739)  and Sarah 'Sally' Jones (1739), daughter of Ephraim Jones (1712)

Answer 1

Here is a link to the online version of the Bradbury Memorial written and published in 1890 by John Merrill Bradbury. It contains the ancestry that you are asking about. The first American Bradbury came from Wicken-Bonant, England to Salisbury, Massachsetts in 1634 and his name was Thomas. We both descended from him although via different sons of his. If you look on page 118 and 119 of the link below you will see the two Mary Kent's that you are asking about.

Another valuable link that traces you and me all the way back to Charlemagne, the famous warrior King of France, and several other Kings of France and Italy. Our oldest known ancestor is Carloman of Landen from France (at that time known as Gaulle) and was born about 560 AD.

I have updated all relevant info for my line on Wikitree and added your line through the two Mary Kents' that you mention. I suppose you could update it since the Mary Kent's, but neither of these sources has later info about your line.

Here is the Wikitree link where you need to start-

We are lucky that some people did a whole lot of work gathering this info and that Wikitree permitted me to enter it.

Answer 2

I don't have anything on this family. I just have the 2 Theophilus Bradburys's. This is more then I have so I will look at what you have and see if I can find anything else.
