Research Notes
David Bradford moved to Orange County, N.C., Ephraim moved to Montgomery County, N.C., and Benjamin moved to Mecklenburg County, N.C) Mary Bradford married Richard Lovett. Sealy Bradford married Coleman Reid White on March 13, 1786 in Granville County, N.C. We are deeply grateful to a decendant of this couple, Mrs. Lucy Floyd Bard of Oxford, ancestor, Sealy Bradford, that the lineage was accepted by the National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in North Carolina.[6]
