Thomas Bradbury son of Jacob and Elizabeth (Stockman) Bradbury of Salisbury was born 16 Aug 1699; lived Salisbury until about 1744, and then removed to Biddeford and afterword to "Narraganset, No. 1" (now Buxton), ME. Capt. Bradbury was one of the first settlers of Buxton and was a distinguished soldier and Indian fighter. He commanded, in 1748-49, at the block-house on the west side of the Saco River, Near Union Falls."
From the book, "The Allens" , He was a yeoman. He lived in Salisbury, and after his fathers death in 1718 be became owner of the family hoestead. ... They were living in Salisbury in 1741, and probably as late as 1745 when daughter Mary was born. But since at least three of his sons were later from Biddeford, Me., it is possible he and his family removed to Biddeford at about that time. "
