Research Notes

NOTE: There is a clear error in the Bradford Silver Book, 2004 edition. On page 130, Hosea's birth date is listed as "ca. 1763." On page 528 his birth date is listed as "25 July 1773." Since he has a brother, Joel, who was born on 25 Jan 1773, the July birth date is not possible. Also the July date would change him from being the 4th child to being at least the 8th child.

From Mayflower, Page 528: [1]

In Jul 31 1852 Hosea Bradford, in his 79th year, of Olmstead Cuyahoga County, Ohio, where he had lived for 31 years, stated he was born Jul 20 1773 in Springfield, VT, where he lived until he was 24 years old, and that he was the brother of Lucy Bradford who m. John McRoberts.

"Hosea Bradford (#4,355), fifth in descent from William Brandford, was born in Springfield, Vt., 25 July 1773. Shortly after 1806 he moved to Upper Niagara, Canada and in 1813 to the Western Reserve. At Brecksville, Cuyahoga County, he served as postmaster and road surveyor. In 1818 he moved to Bath (home of Jonathan Hale) and in 1820 settled at what is now Olmstead, Cuyahoga Co. He was a shoemaker, settling up a tannery on his farm. He died in 1863, aged 90 years."

I add this because it gives further detail of his migration, as well as a possible source of where the possibly erroneous birth date came from.

Thank you for posting. I’m a descendent of Hosea Bradford through my Grandmother Laura Bradford (Bradford-7119) Holtz so I’m very interested in accounts of his life.
