General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Rush Bradford
His academical studies were conducted in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, ill health having interfered with a regular collegiate course. He resided for three years in Dover, Delaware; in 1837 he removed to Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and in 1839 settled on a farm near New Brighton. He was nominated as a candidate for Governor on the American ticket, and at another and later date received the nomination for Lieutenant-Governor on the Prohibition ticket. During his early manhood when business duties required, he traveled eighteen thousand or more miles on horseback through Pennsylvania and Virginia, looking after large landed estates entrusted to his care. While thus engaged he had numerous land ejectment cases and other suits in law, not one of which he lost, and for his mode of preparing, he received the encomiums of Chief-Justice Agnew and others. The degree of A. M. was conferred upon Mr. Bradford by Jefferson College. A staunch Presbyterian in his religious faith, he was an elder of the First Presbyterian church, of New Brighton, and in 1849 was elected a director of the Western Theological Seminary; was also one of the founders of the Union Benevolent Society of Philadelphia. He was one of the corporate members of the Board of Colportage, and member of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church for the years 1849, 1855 and 1860. Mr. Bradford took great interest in the Sabbath-school cause, and was for fifty years scholar, teacher and superintendent. He was also an active worker in the cause of temperance, his life having been one of Christian activity and usefulness until his death.
