biography
From Pedigree of: Robert Bradford c1487-1552
Robert's father was Peter Bradford (c1460-1542), who was probably born about 1460, married twice, and had five children by each wife. He lived to be about 82 years old and died between Jan. 17, and Mar 19, 1542/3. He lived his entire life in Bentley, Parish of Arksey, York County, England. His will included "one ewe lamb" for each grandchild, suggesting that he raised sheep. His will mentions no wife or wives, and it would appear that they died before him.
His five children by his first unknown wife were:
- Peter Bradford, (The "yonger") of Bentley, b. c1483, d. between Feb. 12, 1557/8 and Apr. 6, 1558. His wife, although he wished to be buried beside her, is unknown. He does not appear to have had any children, since his will mentions only his brothers and sisters and neices and nephews, and a peculiar reference to "brethren".
- John Bradford, b. c1485. Although unproved, it is possible that this John Bradford was the father of the the Martyr, John Bradford (1510-1555) who was burned at the stake in Smithfield by "bloody" Queen Mary. The reference in his uncle Peter Bradford's will to "brethren" may refer to followers and/or associates of John Bradford the Martyr.
