Henry and Cynthia Penland Grindstaff- Yancey Co. NC
I am trying to find the 1st wife of Johnathan H. Bradley. He probably married her about 1838-40.Family tradition says she was a Grindstaff from Yancey County NC.We know that they had at least 3 children Cintha (Synthia) Louise Bradley "Lou" b. 1844 married George Frank Penland, Elias Alexander Bradley b. 1846, and Elizabeth M. Bradley b. 1847.Family tradition also says they had another daughter who remained with grandparents after their mother died about 1847.I'm not sure of this.Johnathan remarried to Sarah Goldsmith in Buncombe County about 1848.
They were in Buncombe and Madison at various times but always near Penland families.It was not uncommon to marry cousins in those days.Does anyone have information on this family?
