Notes:

The Mass. birth records for Nathan list his birth date as July 33, 1754, so it's anyone's guess what the correct day is in July of that year.

Almost all of the Bradley lines written here come through the kindness of Linda Ueland. She sent me a very nice workbook on the Bradley family, and I transcribed a lot of it.

Additional Notes on Nathan's family are from Rosemary Channel via Linda:

Elizabeth Harden\Harnden

Source for Death: "Bradley Hollow" old church records.

Nathan Bradley - Elizabeth Harden\Harnden

"Biographical and Portrait Cyclopedia of Niagra County, New York" Page 519, as quoted by great-grandson "The family is of English Extraction. Nathan Bradley was a native of Connecticut and died in Canada at an advanced age."

Eddystone Church records: "Nathan and Elizabeth Bradley in the early part of the last one ___ being early in the present century moved from the states around the head of Lake Ontario, with his family in a wagon and driving his flock following the lake shore around ___ woods. And was three weeks on his journey. He settled a few miles north of his church (Eddystone) with is wife and family. They joined the church in 1802 (United) in February, age 46 and became a member. His son, William, a deacon, was one of his married sons. G. S. Bradley is a great-grandson. Mrs. Floyd, a gg grand-daughter, heirs ___ in her children, they are now members of the Sabbath school six generations in one century. Still there is but few living names on the church records. Gone, gone to be with their Lord in that beautiful land of the west."

Tradition has it that Nathan and Elizabeth Bradley came from Illinois with first born William. They were burned out by Indians and they crossed the river carrying their young son in their arms as they waded across. They probably settled for a time in Niagra Co., NY.

Nathaniel married Harnden, Harriet Abt 1777, NY, USA. Harriet (daughter of Harnden, SGT Jonathan and Phebe) was born 1760, CT, USA; died 11 May 1846, Haldimand, Northumberland, ON, Canada. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In Lee-Oatman Cemetery, South Granville, Washington, New York, there is an unmarked grave at the side of Jonathan's grave which is thought to be his wife's grave.

As a young man, he moved to the vicinity of Hebron and Salem, Connecticut with his parents and siblings. He was a soldier in the French and Indian War.

He served with the Connecticut Militia that invaded Canada in 1755.
He was in Capt. Isreal Putnam's company in the campaign against the French around Lake George, Fort Edward, Fort Ticonderoga and at Crown Point. He was at Quebec in 1760 under command of Isreal Putnam.

He was also a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He saw active service as Sergeant of his company, on the march to West Chester following the "Lexington Alarm" and in the campaigns around New York City in 1776. In these campaigns he served as Sergeant in the 5th Company, Captain Ephraim Warren, Lieutenant David Waters, 11th Regiment, Colonel Ebinezer Williams of Pomfret, Conn. Lieutenant Colonel Isreal Putnam of Pomfret, 3rd Brigadier General Gordon Saltonstall (Succeeded by Brigadier General John Tyler) Connecticut Militia.
He was a Sergeant in one of the celebrated Connecticut Regiments that won distinction under General Benedict Arnold at the battle of Saratoga in 1777.

After having seen Northeastern New York during the campaigns, both in the French and Indian Wars and in the Revolutionary War, he moved to that locality in 1779, taking advantage of the "Land Grant" to Revolutionary Soldiers.

He was one of the seven original settlers at Granville, Washington Co, (Charlotte Co. first) New York, in 1779. He built conaucted (spelled like it is in letter.) a hotel with a large hall connected with it at Granville. (The hotel burned down in 1930).

Jonathan owned this dance hall in Granville, Washington, New York according to the Harnden/Edgecomb Manuscript.

Originally John S. Harnden, Jonathan's son supposedly died by drowning in the Niagara River according to family legend. This was suppose to have happened about 1812. However, John S. is found in Vermont until 1830. Given the fact that Jonathan died in 1813, I suggest it was probably he who died by drowning.

Daniel Thomas Harnden is the person that finally put a name to this woman, but I don't know what his source for this information is.

• Rev War, Enlist: 12 Sep 1778, CT

Notes:

Because that part of Eastern Mass., where the early Harnden families lived had become thickly populated. Barachias Harnden and his family (sometime after 1735) migrated to the frontier in the vicinity of Hebron and Salem, Connecticut.

The family was at this location during the French and Indian war, when all male members of the family of military age went with the Colonial Troops for the invasion of Canada about 1755.

The women and children were left alone to provide for themselves and had to drive back the hostile Mohegan Indians for more then a year. The family evidently remained together in this location until the close of the Revolution.

When his son Jonathan and his immediate family moved to Granville, New York.

Barrachius was a soldier in the Revolationary War, from the vicinity of Salem, Conn., he served from 2 Aug 1778 to 12 Sep 1778, in Capt. David Cady's Company of Colonel Chapman's Regiment of the Connecticut Militia.

Barachias married Sherman, Sarah 1733, Wilmington, Middlesex, MA, USA. Sarah (daughter of Sherman) was born , Wilmington, Middlesex, MA, USA; died , CT, USA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Daniel Thomas Harnden has Sarah's death place as Connecticut, however this isn't proven. It is also possible her name actually wasn't Sherman there are a number of Sherman lines documented and I do know of three Harnden men that married Sherman girls, but this one I cannot prove.
