John Bradford born 1798
I am searching for a family named Smith that raised my third great grandfather John Bradford. Recently I found in a Bulletin published by Mrs. Frances Hall in 1945 called The Bradford Family Compact Bulletin where someone at that time was asking for assistance with John Bradford who was born July
25th 1798 had married a Sarah (they had Phillips, but this was his second wife named Phillips) should have been Blades,his first wife, born June 27th 1800. Then they went on to say that John's parents and brother died of Yellow Fever and that John then was raised by foster parents. The article did not give any location that this took place although it did say that the parents had taken the children to Virginia.
It did not say where they were before Virginia nor who the foster parents were or any date this happened. Story has been handed down that John Bradford was raised by a Smith family.
Thanks for any help on this.
