General Notes: Husband - Lt.-Col. Thomas Bradford

---

He obtained a college education in Philadelphia, entering the printing business with his father in 1762 and becoming a partner in 1766. He, like his father, was a militant patriot, was captain of a militia company in Pennsylvania and saw active service at Brandywine, Trenton, Germantown, Valley Forge, and elsewhere. He also served as deputy commissary general of prisoners, ranking as lieutenant-colonel. After the war he resumed printing with his father, continuing the publication of the Pennsylvania Journal and Weekly Advertiser until 1801, then merging it with the True American which he had established earlier. In 1801 he admitted his son William and in 1819 retired from business. He was for some time printer to congress.
