General Notes: Husband - John Jackson Bradley

---

He was born and reared on the old Bradley place in Plum Township, Venango County, PA, and acquired ownership of the property on which Bradleytown was eventually laid out. After selling his interest therein he resided for seven years in Wayne Township, Crawford County, near Sugar Lake, and, disposing of his holdings there about 1890, came to the farm in Cherrytree Township where his son Curtin A. Bradley was later estab­lished. It was the old Thomas Prather farm of 187 acres, and the buildings there were erected by George Prather, son of Thomas, the house being put up in 1881, a beautiful, substantial residence, equal to any other in the county at the time of its construction. Thomas Prather had owned one thousand acres in this vicinity, giving each of his children a farm, kept good stock, and was one of the most successful men of his time. John J. Bradley operated this farm until his death. He was a Republican and active in politics, taking an interested part in township affairs. [CAB, 1027]
