biographical notes

From http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hanson-23

Alice Hanson Bradford (1562 - 1597) was the mother of Governor William Bradford of the Mayflower Bradford. She came from relatively comfrotable "yeoman" circumstances. She was widowed and left with two young children to raise. She subsequently remarried. Her children seem to have been under the guardianship of their paternal grandfather, William Bradford.

From Wikipedia: William Bradford of Plymouth Colony: English Origins. Retrieved 4 October 2013

William Bradford was born to William and Alice Bradford in Austerfield, Yorkshire, England, being baptized on March 19, 1589/90. In a time when most were farmers of modest means,[5] the Bradford family owned a large farm and were considered wealthy and influential.

Bradford's childhood was marked by numerous deaths in the family. He was just over a year old when his father died. When he was four years old, his mother remarried and Bradford was sent to live with his grandfather. Two years later, his grandfather died and he returned to live with his mother and stepfather. A year later, in 1597, his mother died. Bradford thus became an orphan at age 7. He was sent to live with two uncles.
