Thomas Bradley (b. 2/18/1792 Jackson County; m. Susannah Oliver Allen
2/8/1821; d. 3/25/1858 Walton County) was an Indian fighter, a veteran
of
the War of 1812, and a Baptist. Both he and hi wife are buried
in the
Bradley Cemetery near Campton.
Susannah (b. 8/4/1802 North Carolina; m. 1st William B. Allen, 2nd
Thomas
Bradley; d. 8/12/1885 Walton County) was the daughter of Elijah (b.
1781
Virginia; d. 1854 Jackson County) and Mary Wise Oliver (b. 1779 North
Carolina). She was sometimes called Susan. Her first husband,
whom she
married April 24, 1817, died March 15, 1819, leaving her with one child,
William. Immediately after their marriage, Thomas and Susannah
Bradley
lived in Clarke County, but constructed the original Bradley home in
Walton and moved there in March 1822.
Their children, all of whom were born in Walton County, were: (1) Mary
A.
E. R. (b. 12/24/1822; m. Madison Jamison 12/16/1838) (2) Sara H, *b,
3/2/1825; m. F. Hale 12/6/1841); (3) Francis Marion (b. 11/7/1827;

F. and Sara J. Bradley Hale's children were William, Robert, John,
James,
and Lucy. Those of Francis Marion and Stiry Camp Bradley were
Amanda J.
(d. young), Mary (b. 1854), and Thomas Russell (b. 9/1857; m. Angie
R.
Flanigan; d. 9/1898). James F. and Amanda T. Bradley Breedlove
became
parents of Amanda, Susan, Joel, Thomas, James, John, George, and Luticia.
J. J. N. and Eliza F. Bradley Kennedy's children were Susan and Joseph.
James M. and Mary Lochlin Bradley were parents of Oscar, Mollie, Sallie,
Samuel, Thomas, James, and Rhodel.
Elijah O., son of Thomas and Susannah Bradley, lived only 17 months
and
was probably the first member of the family buried in the Bradley
Cemetery. His grave is between that of his father and his brother
Francis Marion. The latter enlisted for Confederate service August
13,
1861. He served as a junior lieutenant and died of measles and
exposure
in camp near Fredericksburg. His younger borther James M., just
released
in a prison of war exchanged and recovering from wounds, accompanied
Francis M.'s body home. James had bben captured in the battle
of Malvern
Hill. Their brother Thomas J. enlisted in the Confederate army
July 17,
1861, and was killed at Gettysburg. He is buried there.
Thomas J. Bradley, the father, owned 600 acres of good farm land
surrounding the home site near Campton in 1852. He treated his
slaves
well, and long after they were freed they returned to be buried in
the
Bradley Cemetery. Twenty-three are mentioned by name in the appraisal
of
his estate after his death. Among his personal property noted
by the
appraisers were nine feather beds and steads, a rifle gun and shot
bag,
two spinning wheels, 16 head of sheep, a lot of books, two side saddles,
and 21 pieces of bed clothing. In a sale of the property, the
Negroes
alone brought $17, 672.89. Thomas and Susannah's son James M.
bought the
home and land. He built a new home on the family property only
a short
distance from the original home and took his mother to live with him
and
his family until her death at 83.
Thomas and Susannah's grandson Thomas Russell Bradley became the father
of (1) Russell L. (b. 11/13/1877; m. Eliza Wilson); (2) Jennie Alms
(m.
Bob Etheridge); (3) Elijah Marion (b. 11/6/1880; m. Susie Etheridge);
(4)

Edwin
(m. Mage Wages); (6) Susie Stiry (m. Vester Sikes); (7) Loutishie (m.
