Family’s Immigration to America

Listed on the ship’s (“Upton Magna”) Katherine’s brother manifest as a Charles Bostick (b 1606) 'Headwright”; which means “a recipient of a land". . Transported on the ship of G. Poole, R. Fastingale, J. Barningham & J. Forsith 1671. He left England as Bostocke and arrived America as Bostick in 1671.

  • Katherine’s Husband John Bradley relative Savile Bradley, was Fellow of Magdalen College in Oxford, and another son, Thomas, a merchant in Virginia. About this time the persecutions in England led many to emigrate to America, and this emigration so increased that a tax was levied on all those who left the country; but this, instead of decreasing the number of emigrants, led men to slip away by stealth, and thus leave no record of their departure. Among the original lists of emigrants, religious exiles, etc.. I find no record of Bradleys who can be traced to our ancestors, although a number are mentioned as having embarked for America. These histories of course are very imperfect, and there are still many unpublished documents, which, when brought before the public, may help to mend the broken links in many family histories. Among the early settlers of New England we find a number by the name of Bradley, who are probably descended from a common ancestor, as the same names are often repeated.
