Dear Colleen,

 

The names I already sent are included here, so this supercedes the first response. I have decided to copy out the “Family Relationship” section on p. 35. It may just muddy the water, but at least you will be able to study it at your leisure. I have also added some marriages which you probably already have, but it never hurts to pass them along, just in case. They do help with some details from the FR section.

Family Relationships, p. 35, BRADBURY:

 

            “Dr. John T. Bradbury (1840-1894) was a practicing physician at Cooperstown for many years. He is buried here with his wife, Violetta Hatcher (1844-1893) and their children: A. infant (1879); B. Ada (1881); C. Phoebe (1872-1891); D. George (1879-1900); E. “J. M.” (1870-1927) and wife Sarah C. Hulett (1872-1939); and their son Homer C. (1895-1906; F. Samuel E. (1866-1923) and wife Martha Ellen Logsdon (1867-1943), their son George (1892-1962) and a daughter-in-law Vern McDannold Bradbury (1905-1935).

            James L. Bradbury (1817-1896) lived for a time in Mt. Sterling before residing in Cooperstown near his son John T. . He is buried here with his four (???) wives: Rachel (1832-1864), Demarius (1830-1872), Elizabeth DeWitt (1891, aged 72 yrs), and Sarah Rose (1888-1916).”

 

Some notes:

 

Phoebe Bradbury on p. 35 is spelled Phebe on p. 28.

 

I accidentally included the initial “F” with the name Samuel E. Bradbury in my first response. I got confused by the lettering system.

 

I can’t find any record of James L. Bradbury Sr. marrying Elizabeth DeWitt (d. 26 Jan 1891 aged 72-10-0), the wife of Benjamin DeWitt (same cemetery), but Benjamin DeWitt died in 1872, so it is possible. In the case of his marriage to Sarah Rose, there is a Sarah A. Harper (17 Jan 1843 – 16 Mar 1922), who married Charles Rose, but her dates don’t match the FR section. Sophronia Robbins, who was the wife of James L. the younger (1880-1972), has the same dates as Sarah Rose (& same initials), and it appears the editors have become confused about whose spouse she was and what her name really was. J!!  

 

Charles Rose died in 1877, so Sarah very likely is the woman who married James L. Bradbury (the elder).

 

Here is the actual marriage - Morgan County’s western border connects with Brown County:

 

BRADBURY, JAMES L                    ROSE, SARAH A. MRS                    03/09/1893   D/  80     5817 MORGAN

Well, I had better stop now and give you a rest. I hope I haven’t overwhelmed you with all this information. It’s been great fun.

 

Best wishes,
