Notes for GEORGE P. BRADLEY:
GEORGE P. BRADLEY IS BURIED IN STONE MT. CEMETERY, LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF MEMORIAL DR. AND E. PONCE DE LEON DR. IN THE CITY OF STONE MOUNTAIN, GA. THERE IS AN INSCRIPTION ON HIS TOMBSTONE THAT READS " A KIND HUSBAND AND A LOVING FATHER HE DIED IN PEACE WITH GOD". THIS TOMBSTONE HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A WHITE MARBLE VETERANS TOMBSTONE INSCRIBED WITH HIS C.S.A. SERVICE.
GEORGE WAS MARRIED IN 1845 TO ANGELINE A. GOWER OF GWINNETT COUNTY, GA., SHE WAS THE DAUGHTER OF ROBERT MCLIN, AND MILDRED BURFORD GOWER OF GWINNETT CO. SEE THE BOOK 'HISTORY OF GWINNETT COUNTY 1818-1960' VOL II, PAGE 49.
I FOUND GEORGE P. BRADLY/BRADLEY LISTED ON THE 1850 CENSUS OF GWINNETT COUNTY, TAKEN AUG. 19TH, 1850, PROBABLY CATES DISTRICT, THOUGH NONE WAS GIVEN. HE IS LISTED AS 26 YRS OF AGE, MALE, PLACE OF BIRTH WAS TENN. (?) , AND HE WAS A FARMER WITH REAL ESTATE PROPERTY VALUED AT $200. HIS WIFE IS ANGELINE, AGE 22YRS, PLACE OF BIRTH WAS GA.. ONE CHILD IS LISTED A SON NAMED JOHN M. AGE 4YRS, PLACE OF BIRTH IS GA.
THERE IS A SMALL CHILDS GRAVE LOCATED ABOUT TEN FEET FROM GEORGE'S GRAVE WITH THE INSCRIPTION "IN MEMORY OF AN INFANT SON OF G.P. & A.A. BRADLEY, AGE 1YR, 4 MONTHS, AND 17 DAYS". NO OTHER DATE WAS LEGIBLE, AND IN BETWEEN THESE TWO GRAVES ARE TWO OTHER GRAVES, ONE IS AN ADULT WHICH IS NEXT TO GEORGE, AND THE OTHER IS ANOTHER CHILD SIZE GRAVE. THESE GRAVES HAVE ONLY GRANITE ROCK FOR THE HEAD AND FOOTSTONES, AND THE ADULT GRAVE NEXT TO GEORGE IS PROBABLY HIS WIFE ANGELINE'S GRAVE.
ABOUT SIXTY FEET FROM GEORGE'S GRAVE IS THE GRAVE OF E. L. (ELIJAH) AND MATTIE (MARTHA) A. BRADLEY, E.L. BORN SEP 7TH, 1849, DIED JAN. 9TH, 1899 HIS TOMBSTONE READS "HE TOOK ALL THINGS WELL". MARTHA BORN ABT 1847, DIED MAY 16TH, 1898, HER TOMBSTONE READS MATTIE A. "IN MEMORY OF WIFE OF E.L." "HERE LIES ONE WHO WAS A KIND MOTHER ......" .
NEAR THE GRAVE OF ELIJAH AND MARTHA IS THE GRAVE OF THEIR
DAUGHTER LIZZIE (ELIZABETH) BRADLEY, BORN OCT 7TH, 1870, DIED FEB 2ND, 1886, HER TOMBSTONE READS "LIZZIE, DAUGHTER OF E.L. & M.A. BRADLEY" "WHEN ANGELS BARE OUR DARLING HENCE . WE LAID THE CASKET HERE". LIZZIE IS BURIED ACROSS THE LITTLE LANE FROM GEORGE P. BRADLEY.
JOHN M. BRADLEY, BORN FEB. 22ND, 1845, DIED MAY 5TH, 1890, IS BURIED NEXT TO HIS FIRST WIFE NANCY A. , AND NEXT TO THEIR GRAVE IS THE GRAVE OF JOHN'S SECOND WIFE ANNA R., AND THE GRAVE OF LENA V. BRADLEY, BORN SEPT. 20TH, 1883, DIED JUNE 10TH, 1948. I BELIEVE SHE WAS A DAUGHTER BY JOHN'S SECOND WIFE. THESE GRAVES ARE LOCATED ABOUT A HUNDRED FEET UP THE HILL FROM GEORGE'S GRAVE.
PHILIP BURFORD BRADLEY, BORN DEC 23RD, 1858, DIED JUNE 6TH, 1928, IS BURIED IN THE CEMETERY AT ZION BAPTIST CHURCH ON E. PONCE DE LEON DR, THIS IS NEXT TO WHAT IS NOW KNOWN AS MELWOOD CEMETERY, FORMALLY MOUNTAIN VIEW CEMETERY, DEKALB COUNTY, GEORGIA.
GEORGE'S TOMBSTONE READS BORN JAN 2, 1823, DIED AUG 20, 1862. I BELIEVE, THAT THE DATE OF DEATH IS INCORRECT. THE STONE DOESN'T HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF A TOMBSTONE WEATHERED FOR 135 YEARS, AND WAS PROBABLY PLACED AT A MUCH LATER DATE AFTER HIS BURIAL. HE WAS ALIVE IN 1870, HE IS LISTED ON THE AUG 10, 1870 CENSUS, DEKALB CO., TOWNSHIP OF STONE MOUNTAIN, PAGE 125, DWELLING NO.167, FAMILY NO.167, BRADLEY, GEORGE P., AGE 47, MALE, WHITE, OCCUPATION-DRUGGIST, BIRTHPLACE GA., ANGELINE A., AGE 42, FEMALE, WHITE, OCCUPATION-KEEPING HOUSE, BIRTHPLACE GA., AND ANNA, AGE 16, FEMALE, WHITE, OCCUPATION-AT HOME, BIRTHPLACE GA., AND PHILIP B., AGE 11, MALE, WHITE, OCCUPATION-FARM LABOR, BIRTHPLACE GA.
I HAVE A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE DEATH CERTIFICATE OF PHILIP BURFORD BRADLEY. PHILIP'S DEATH CERTIFICATE LIST HIS FATHER AS GEORGE BRADLEY AND HIS MOTHER AS MISS GOWER. PHILIP WAS MY GREAT GRANDFATHER AND THE INFORMANT OF THE DOCUMENT WAS MY GRANDFATHER JOHN S. BRADLEY SR.
THE 1870 CENSUS, DEKALB CO., TOWNSHIP OF STONE MOUNTAIN, ALSO LISTS AN ELIJAH BRADLEY, PAGE 125, DWELLING NO. 168, FAMILY NO. 168, AGE 19, MALE, WHITE, OCCUPATION-STONE CUTTER, BIRTHPLACE GA. HIS WIFE WAS MARTHA A., AGE 23, FEMALE, WHITE, OCCUPATION-KEEPING HOUSE, BIRTHPLACE GA. THIS IS NEXT DOOR TO GEORGE P. BRADLEY. I SUSPECT THAT ELIJAH IS A SON OF GEORGE'S AND FITS IN BETWEEN JOHN M., AND ANNA BRADLEY, I NEED TO CHECK THE 1860 CENSUS OF DEKALB OR FULTON CO.
