William Bradford⁽¹¹⁰⁾ was born on 17 Jun 1624 in Plymouth. He died on 20 Feb 1702/3 in Plymouth. William Bradford, the second, had nine sons and six daughters and Elisha,
son
of his brother Joseph had fifteen children.
Major Bradford obtained high distinction in the colonies, having been
elected
assistant and chief military commander early in his career. In 1692 he
was
elected Deputy Govenor and soon Councilor of Massachusetts. He was a
strong
power all through the Indian wars.
In his will he enjoins his sons "to sell (his property) to none who do
not bear
the name of Bradford and be not descended from him." Parents: William Bradford and Alice Carpenter.

He was married to Alice Richards WFT Est. 1643-1664. Children were: Samuel Bradford.

William Bradford⁽¹¹⁰⁾ was born on 29 Mar 1590 in Austerfield, Yorkshire, England. He died on 9 May 1657 in Plymouth. (Fram "Signers of The Mayflower Compact", 1904, )"William Bradford is one
of the
few Pilgrims of whom much can be written without
conjecture. He started his life with a record, and left one which admits
of
pride on the part of his descendants. Even those who have no blood
relation to
claim can enjoy with those who have without the slightest desire to
repudiate
any of his actions. From the day of his advent into the world where he
was
eventually to become so important a factor he associated himself with
William
Brewster.
The tie so started was a very trifling one, but the oak grew from the
little
acorn of omen, and the man who was appointed Post of Scrooby the year of
William Bradford's birth became his dearest friend and wisest guide.
Bred to agriculture, (he was) a serious youth who held communion with
nature's
visible forms, an orphan thus apart from many home ties, he took to his
heart
the living truths, and early in life identified himself with Scrooby and
the
teachings of William Brewster. "Bradford, if not a thoroughly educated
man, was
certainly one of cultivation. Brewster, with his special gift of
teaching, and
intense humanity, would hardly neglect the opportunity of directing the
studies
of this young aaspirant for knowledge. Self-reliance, forced upon
Brtadford as
it was in early life, tended much to his early development. When only 18
years
of age he suffered imprisonment in Boston, in Lincolnshire, for his
religious
beliefs, and perhaps for his identy of association. His youth pleaded for
him,
but he was only successful in his effort to reach Holland after being
arrested
again and escaping.
From the time of Bradford's arrival in Holland until his departure for New
England he seems to have gone on his way slowly, steadily, gaining
strength in
the march. His first step on arriving at Amsterdam was to apprentice
himself to
a Frenchman, who taught him the art of silk weaving. On reaching his
majority
he invested his little property, about which there are many estimates as
to its
value, in starting in business for himself.
His second important venture is gathered from the municipal records of
Leyden,
that "William Bradford, of Austerfield, England, married November 13,
1613,
Dorothy May, of Witezbuts, England." (Fustian maker) At Amsterdam is
found the
record that he was 23 years of age, Dorothy was 16 years. They had one
son,
John, born in Leyden, left there with his grandfather, Elder May.
Dorothy May Bradford was but a name in the history of the expidition, she
married, had one child from which she had to part, and then, to complete
her
personal record, was drowned in Cape Cod Harbor December 7, 1620, while
her
husband was away on an exploration expidition, not
even landing to locate for herself a home, and by accident being deprived
of a
resting place in Mother Earth. Poor young wife and mother! The privations
she
was spared were no compensation for the love she lost!
Shortly after the arrival of the "Ann" he, the Govenor, was married to
Alice,
daughter of Alexander Carpenter, of Wrington, England August 14, 1623.
She was
the widow of "Edward Southworth, son of Thomas and Jane Mynne Southwort,"
a man
of long and honorable lineage. Alice Carpenter "was well educated and
brought
considerable property into the country." Elder Faunce "eulogizes her for
her
exertions in promoting the leterary improvement and the deportment of the
rising generation, according to the accounts he had received from her
contemporaries."
She had come out to America with her sister, who married George Morton,
on the
Ann in 1623 at Bradford's request. Mrs Bradford, feeble from age and
illness, died March 26, 1670, aged 80, and her wish to lie beside her
husband was gratified. William Bradford was appointed at age
33 years to suceed Carver as Governor of Plymouth, and Issac Allerton
placed as
his assistant.
Alice Carpenter had brought her boys from her first marriage, and they
were
welcomed and treated as his own children. A sister, Mary Caprenter,
the "Godly old maid who never married," was left alone in England after
her
mother's death, so Bradford invited her to come to them, "though they had
grown
old," and would pay her passage if she needed it.
The debt of gratitude owned Bradford for his journal is inappreciable; its
value is limitless. The "History of Plymouth Plantations" is all we have
to
place us in accord with the Pilgrims' early lives, so quaintly told that
the
records are word pictures. The early condition of the colonists was
pathetic
indeed. Winter was approaching. They had tilled the land, which was the
only
thing they had in quantity, so far as there was seed to plant. But the
greed of
hunger was too much for them, and the little store appropriated for that
purpose whent, oftentimes, to sustain life. Game was abundant for the
start,
but there was no leisure for hunting, and the ammunition must be kept for
times
of peril from the ever-present Indians. Starvation stared them in the
face.
Hope was at its lowest ebb. Their envoy, Mr. Prince, who had gone to
Ireland to
procure stores, had not been heard from, and fear grew almost to a
certainty
that the vessel had met with some disaster, and, sharing the fate of many
vessels of the times, had fallen into the hands of pirates. However, in
February, 1631, the vessel was sighted, and February 22, 1631, as the
first
Thanksgiving in the colony.
