Bradley, Joseph 3rd
Birth
Joseph Bradley, 3rd was born April 10, 1771, the son of Joseph Bradley 2nd. His siblings were:
- Isaac, born Sept. lo, 1769, died Sept., 1834, at Onondaga.
- Daniel, born August, 1773, died —
- Thankful, born August 25, 1775, died —
- Sarah, born Sept. i, 1777, died Jan. 7, 1838, at Danbury.
Isaac married Sarah Williams, a daughter of Dr. John Williams, of Fairfield, who, when a boy, had been carried away captive by the Indians, and lived with them several years, learning many of their simple remedies for curing diseases, of which he made profitable use in his subsequent practice as a physician. Another daughter of his, a Mrs. Babcock, confided to me a specific remedy for curing cancer, the recipe for which was left to her by her father, and which has proved effectual in several cases. Isaac left Connecticut at the same time with his father, and after staying awhile at Bern, emigrated to Onondaga County, New York, where he spent the rest of his life; leaving behind him several sons, Elias, John and Orsemus ; another son, Joseph, having died unmarried.
Daniel married Poll Holmes, I think of Danbury. He also emigrated to Onondaga, after residing a short period in Bern ; and left one son, Abraham, who resided, the last that I heard of him, at Syracuse. Daniel lived to be very old. I heard of him as still living when he was past 90 years of age.
Thankful married Sherwood Fanton, of Danbury, I believe, and never left Connecticut.
Sarah married Daniel Holmes, of Danbury, and died there in 1838.
