Should my grandson Nathaniel Polk die before he arrives to lawful age & without issue, I give his land to my grandson Robert Polk. Wife Sarah Bradford. To grandaughter Bridget Polk. To grandaughter Martha Polk. To grandaughter Margaret Polk. To great grandson William Polk Lurton. To goddaughter Leah Savage.

| Land left* | 1785 | He left land in 1785 at tract A43, Wachapreague, Accomack Co, VA. William and Sarah Bradford deeded all of their land in this tract to their daughter Sabra and her husband William Polk, stating that when a grandson Nathaniel Polk became 21, the home place of 275 acres was to go to him, but if he died without issue, then to his brother Robert. It was the north half of the tract. William and Sabra Polk were to retain the south part for their lives and then it was to go to their son James Polk. Apparantly Sabra had died and William married again, because in 1800 he and a wife Anne Polk deeded to James Polk 145 acres in which William had a life interest. Two years later William alone deeded 140 acres more to James. In 1805 James and Elizabeth Polk sold 270 acres to James Garrison. By 1790 Sabra Polk and her sons Nathaniel and Robert had all died, because William alone executed a mortgage on the 275 acres, saying that it had reverted to him upon the death of Nathaniel, and four years later William and his second wife Anne sold 200 acres to John Garrison.5 |

Charles (46B) (of Thos & Martha) Bradford1
M, b. circa 1731, d. before 27 December 1763
| Birth* | circa 1731 | Charles was born circa 1731 at Accomack Co, VA.2 |
| Anecdote* | | "Who Were the Parents of Charles Bradford?
Presumably Charles Bradford was a descendant of the original Nathaniel1 Bradford of Accomack, since no other Bradford families are known of in Accomack at this time. He is also presumably a descendant of William2 Bradford (Nath1), that son of Nathaniel's who remained in Accomack (Nathaniel's other son, John, moved to Somerset County, Maryland and no Charles Bradford is found there or in Worcester, a successor county). Since he was married to a grandchild of William2, given age constraints he himself is presumably also a grandchild of William2 through one of William2's sons. Assuming Charles was legitimate, we can rule out most of the sons of William2 as being his father. Nathaniel3 may be ruled out, since no Charles Bradford is listed in the distribution of his estate. We can also rule out William3, since no Charles is named in his 1761 will, dated before Charles' death. (While it is true that William3's sons Levin4 and Abel4 are not listed in his will, that is explained by the fact that both had been provided for prior to William's death, by entail in the case of Levin4 and by a joint deed in the case of Abel4.) John3 may also be ruled out, since on 30 August 1761 he gifted slaves to his children; no Charles is listed in John's deed and the list of children is presumably comprehensive. Fisher3 can't be conclusively ruled out, but seems an unlikely candidate. He wrote his will on 2 July 1763 and did not name any son Charles; that is not enough to rule him out, since Charles is only known to have been alive as late as June of that year and may have died before 2 July. However, there is an additional consideration. If Charles was Fisher's son he would have been the eldest, since Fisher's son Nathaniel4 was still a minor when he wrote his will and was the only male listed in his will. That being the case, if Charles were Fisher's son and predeceased him, it's hard to believe Fisher would not have provided for his eldest sons' children. Unlike his other brothers, Fisher would not have been prevented from doing so, since his land was not entailed and he was able to dispose of it as he wished. Charles Bradford's children were landless and ended up living with their mother on leased land. Given the acreage he held, it seems doubtful that Fisher would have failed to provide for landless grandchildren by his eldest son. Bayly3 Bradford cannot be ruled out as a father of Charles. Bayly sold much of his property to his brother Fisher3 by a general court deed, but Fisher's heirs lost the land to Ezekiel4 Bradford, presumed to have been a son of Bayly3. It is possible that Charles was one of Bayly's younger sons.
"Thomas3 Bradford seems the most likely candidate for being Charles' father. Thomas did not leave a will and there are no probate records associated with his estate, so it can not be said that Thomas failed to provide for Charles while nevertheless providing for other children. Furthermore, Thomas' land was entailed and would inevitably pass to his eldest son Edmund4 Bradford. By default, therefore, Thomas' heirs other than Edmund would receive no land inheritance. Supporting evidence for Thomas being Charles' father is the fact that Charles' administration account listed money paid to Jacob Bradford "by being Security for Edmund Bradford." It is unclear why Jacob would need to be security for Edmund, but it at least indicates that Edmund may have had some responsibility relating to Charles' estate. Other supporting evidence is that Charles and Naomi named one of their sons Thomas. Furthermore, in the estate account of that son, Thomas Baily Bradford, there is mention of "Cash paid Thomas Bradford son of Edmund," indicating a further connection to the descendants of Thomas3. The presence of the names Bayly and Thomas among the descendants of Charles Bradford do not sway the argument one way or the other in favor of Bayly3 or Thomas3 being Charles' father. Given the lack of hard evidence, there must always be some doubt as to the true identity of Charles' father. However, based on what evidence there is, Thomas3 seems the best candidate. Another solution - that Charles was illegitimate - is beyond the scope of the available evidence and can probably only be ruled out through DNA testing.2 |
| Marriage* | circa 1750 | He married Naomi (45) (of Nath & Eliz) Bradford, daughter of Nathaniel (13) (of Wm & Bridget) Bradford and Elizabeth Parker, circa 1750 at Accomack Co, VA. She married Charles Bradford, probably the son of Thomas3 or Bayly3 Bradford (Wm2Nath1).
In Naomi Bradford's account of her husband Charles Bradford's estate, there is mentioned a "legacy given my Daughter Jemima wch. my husband recd." as well as "Cash to be paid to my Dau. besides her legacy Given her by her Grandmother." These are references to the will of Elizabeth (Parker) Bradford: "I give all my household goods to be Equally Divided Between my Daughter Jemima and my Two grand Children Jemima and Violetta." Given these same two items of evidence, the solution put forward in Adventures of Purse & Person is that Charles, not his wife Naomi, was the child of Nathaniel and Elizabeth. This would indeed be the most plausible solution were it not for the 1746 estate account of Nathaniel3, which lists the distribution of cash from his estate to his children. In the list of children, Naomi Bradford is included, but there is no Charles. Without this crucial bit of evidence, it would indeed be a leap to say that Charles married his cousin. Yet it is the only solution that adequately accounts for all the evidence..3,2 |
| Death* | before 27 December 1763 | Charles died before 27 December 1763 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that administration on the estate of Charles Bradford was granted to Naomi Bradford with John Parker & William Bradford securities..3,4 |
| Est inv filed* | circa 1764 | He's inventory was recorded circa 1764 at Accomack Co, VA. The appraisal of Charles' estate was conducted by John Bradford (probably uncle or cousin), Samuel Bagge [husband of Anne4 Bradford (Fisher3)], and Arthur Upshur, all residents of Bradford's Neck. The estate was valued at a £160, 8 shillings, and 3 pence.2 |
| Est settm't* | circa 1765 | His estate was settled circa 1765 at Accomack Co, VA. Naomi's account of Charles' estate mentions a "legacy given my Daughter Jemima wch. my husband recd." and about £6 "Cash to be paid to my Dau. besides her legacy Given her by her Grandmother in Lieu of that Perishable Estate." This is a reference to the will of Elizabeth (Parker) Bradford, who gave all her household goods "to be Equally Divided Between my Daughter Jemima and my Two grand Children Jemima and Violetta." Charles and Naomi's other children - Noah, Thomas, and Charles - each also received around £6 cash in lieu of their father's perishable estate. Noah was the first child listed and in addition to cash he received "negroes Agnes and Leah", which indicates he was heir-at-law. Also paid out of Charles' estate were Jacob4 Bradford (Wm3), Zorobabel Rodgers, James Scott, William Stockly, Isaac Smith, and John Bradford (probably John3). Jacob4 Bradford was additionally paid "by being Security for Edmund Bradford", meaning Edmund4 Bradford (Thos3) As widow, Naomi received "my Thirds of negroes a Woman called Chany" as well as a third of the cash remaining after the debts were paid.2 |

Levin (47) Bradford1
M, b. circa 1718, d. before 30 June 1772
| Birth* | circa 1718 | Levin was born circa 1718 at Accomack Co, VA. |
| Marriage* | circa 1750 | He married Joana 'Johannah' James, daughter of William James and Amey (-----), circa 1750.2 |
| Land leased* | 4 September 1756 | Levin (47) Bradford leased land on 4 September 1756 at Bradford's Neck, Accomack Co, VA. In 1756 a William Bradford and his eldest son Levin (heir apparent) leased a part of the 500 acres given to him by his father in 1716 and confirmed in 1720 to another son Abel for the lives of William and Levin, but there is no later record of the death of that William. In clearing the land near the original home site for this part of the tract, fragments of 3 different tombstones were found; one of them seems to have been that of a William Bradford who died June 4, 1769 aged 44 years. He was therefore born too late to have been the original son William (of Nathaniel), but may have been his heir-at-law and the one who with his son Levin executed the lease of 1756. In any event, Levin Bradford was the next owner and in his will of 1772 he (wife Joana) named his son Zephaniah as his heir-at-law.3,4 |
| Will* | 29 October 1766 | Levin made a will on 29 October 1766 at Accomack Co, VA.

| Death* | before 30 June 1772 | Levin died before 30 June 1772 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that his will was probated. Zephaniah Bradford heir at law to the testator..2,5 |

Abel (47A) Bradford1
M, b. 1725, d. before 29 August 1769
| Birth* | 1725 | Abel was born in 1725 at Accomack Co, VA.2 |
| Marriage* | circa 1750 | He married Leannah (-----) circa 1750.2 |
| Land leased* | 4 September 1756 | Abel (47A) Bradford leased land on 4 September 1756 at Bradford's Neck, Accomack Co, VA. In 1756 a William Bradford and his eldest son Levin (heir apparent) leased a part of the 500 acres given to him by his father in 1716 and confirmed in 1720 to another son Abel for the lives of William and Levin, but there is no later record of the death of that William. In clearing the land near the original home site for this part of the tract, fragments of 3 different tombstones were found; one of them seems to have been that of a William Bradford who died June 4, 1769 aged 44 years. He was therefore born too late to have been the original son William (of Nathaniel), but may have been his heir-at-law and the one who with his son Levin executed the lease of 1756. In any event, Levin Bradford was the next owner and in his will of 1772 he (wife Joana) named his son Zephaniah as his heir-at-law.3,4 |
| Will - Nephew's* | 11 June 1768 | Abel was named in his nephew's will on 11 June 1768 at Accomack Co, VA. In his will John Bradford gave brother Jacob Bradford whole estate he paying my 2 sisters Rachel & Peggy Bradford the sum of £40 each, also to Abel Bradford's daughter I give £40. Brother Jacob Exr. Witt: Arthur Upshur, Ezekiel Badger.5 |
| Death* | before 29 August 1769 | He died before 29 August 1769 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that administration on the estate of Abel Bradford was granted to Jacob Bradford with James Rodgers & William Nock securities. (NOTE: Jacob Bradford was evidently his nephew.)6 |

William (47B) Bradford1

| Death* | 4 June 1764 | He died on 4 June 1764 at Accomack Co, VA.2,3 |
| Burial* | | William was buried at Atlantic View, Quinby, Accomack Co, VA. According to both Mihalyka and Whitelaw his tomstone shows he died June 4, 1769, aged 44 years. However, due to his age, he must have been a son of William Bradford Jr. (and a brother of Levin and Abel) whose will was recorded 26 Feb 1765. So evidently the tombstone probably reads June 4, 1764 not 1769.2,3 |
| Will - Recorded* | 26 February 1765 | William's will was recorded on 26 February 1765 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that his will was recorded.5,4 |

| Deed of Gift - Rec'd* | 24 June 1746 | Whittington Addison received by deed of gift on 24 June 1746 at tract A43, Bradford's Neck, Accomack Co, VA. Bayly Bradford gave a deed of gift to Whittington Addison & Joanna Mary his wife, son-in-law & daughter, for love & affection unto them (the above named) and for better maintenance & lively hood & improvement of them (the above named).

According to Whitelaw, Bayly Bradford gave the 100 acres at the north end of his part to a daughter Joanna Mary and her husband Whittington Addison, and they resold it to Fisher Bradford. This is the last appearance of Bayly Bradford in Accomack records, except stray references to him in Land Cause records, and what became of his was not determined. Shortly after the above date Bayly sold the rest of his land to his brother Fisher by a General Court deed. After Fisher Bradford had become the owner of the Bayly part, a survey was remade for the three 500-acres parts of William, Thomas and Nathaniel, which revealed that between the north line of Nathaniel and the Bayly (now Fisher) south line, there was an excess of 106 acres. Both Nathaniel and Fisher claimed it, but after a complicated land cause suit, it was awarded to Fisher.2,3 |

William and Sarah Bradford deeded all of their land in this tract to their daughter Sabra and her husband William Polk, stating that when a grandson Nathaniel Polk became 21, the home place of 275 acres was to go to him, but if he died without issue, then to his brother Robert. It was the north half of the tract. William and Sabra Polk were to retain the south part for their lives and then it was to go to their son James Polk. Apparantly Sabra had died and William married again, because in 1800 he and a wife Anne Polk deeded to James Polk 145 acres in which William had a life interest. Two years later William alone deeded 140 acres more to James. In 1805 James and Elizabeth Polk sold 270 acres to James Garrison.4 |

| Death* | 1786 | She died in 1786 at tract A43, Wachapreague, Accomack Co, VA.

She was not named in her mother Sarah Bradford's will dated 3 Oct 1794 and instead Sarah named her Polk granddaughters.7,4,8 |

F, b. circa 1760
| Birth* | circa 1760 | Keziah was born circa 1760 at Accomack Co, VA. |
| Marriage* | circa 1775 | She married Noah (74A) (of Chas & Naomi) Bradford, son of Charles (46B) (of Thos & Martha) Bradford and Naomi (45) (of Nath & Eliz) Bradford, circa 1775 at Accomack Co, VA. Noah was probably the eldest child of Naomi and Charles, since he is listed first in Charles' estate account, received 2 of Charles' 3 slaves (the other being the widow's thirds), and in 1765 was the only child being schooled.

That Noah predeceased his mother is born out by the fact that his younger brother Thomas received the slaves found in the inventory of his mother's estate.2 |
| Married Name | circa 1775 | As of circa 1775,her married name was Bradford.2 |
| Will - Mother-in-law* | 4 February 1784 | Keziah was named in her mother-in-law's will on 4 February 1784 at Accomack Co, VA. In her will Naomi Bradford named "my Daughter Jemyah Heath" and "my three children, to wit, Thomas Bayly Bradford and Charles Bradford and Kessah Bradford." This is the first mention of Kessah/Keziah Bradford as a child of Naomi, who is not listed among Charles Bradford's children in the distribution of his estate, nor in any of the orphan account records. Significantly, Naomi does not list her son Noah in her will, and the best interpretation of the evidence is probably that Keziah was Noah's widow. It was not at all uncommon for sons- and daughters-in-law to be referred to simply as sons and daughters, and that may have been the case with Keziah. The only other plausible interpretation is that Keziah was an illegitimate child of Naomi's born after Charles' death. In her will, Naomi also mentioned "the land I have of Nathan Addison" and directed it to be leased out for the benefit of her three children, "to wit, Thomas Bayly Bradford and Charles Bradford and Kessah Bradford" (she did not name Jemimah, who was married). NathanAddison was Naomi's nephew, being the son of her sister Jemima4 (Bradford) Addison (Nath3Wm2Nath1) ...
